The box at the bottom of this screen doesn't do it?

I don't have it, but I did notice the checkbox.

This is from the AVSIM review:

Hope this helps,

Hi Tom,
I tried that but it did not give the desired effect. As Craig said above, it seems to be a bug, waiting to fixed.

What's the problem?

Panning is reversed compared with FS9/FSX, so ... ?

Trim switch opposite as well. In my mind I know they are the opposite of fsx on the force feedback but just like when the electrify goes out you keep on trying to turn on the dang light. In this case I go to trim my aircraft and really mess things up.

Jim, in the control settings you can reassign the trim button to make it the same as FsX but not the hat switch.

Hi,

I had the same concern regarding the pan direction. I couldn't recall in which forum I saw this but I solved it and posted the fix in the Flight forum at Flightsim.com. I simply changed the Spot view HeadingPanRate from 75 to -75 in the Cameras.cfg file.

Outstanding!

Edit:
Hmmm, doesn't seem to work for me.

Hi,

I knew I posted this erroneous information somewhere else and spent several hours looking for it. I guess I just got so used to the opposite rotation that I thought it was the same as FSX when I made the edit. There was no change whatsoever. In fact the camera definition which I suggested be edited had a "CycleHidden=Yes" entry. My apologies to anyone who may have suffered as a consequence of my error.
