    Now I'm getting the hang of it...

    I like it, not immensely, but enough to keep my interest. I'll probably buy the expansion pack and once I've ****, lol, I might just start to enjoy it more.
    I'd like to change the weather and the time of day at will if possible but the main think spot view lacks for me is what in Fs9 and 10 is known as gradual transition. Maybe I'll find out more about this when I get some reading done!

    Well I have just purchased the expansion pack to see what it is like.

    Weather changes etc are easy to do.

    Gradual transition is there in the camera definitions.cfg but it's turned off. I turned it on Getting happier with Flight!

    Hi Dave,
    The flight.cfg and camera definitions are in the same sub folders as FsX so if you've made shortcuts to these in FsX just go up une and you'll see similar folders for Flight. It looks like there will be the ability to do a little tweaking in Flight...

    So what entry do you change in what file? I have a "Cameras.cfg" and "Flight.cfg" file in my "...AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Flight" folder. I can't seem to find a gradual transitions entry.
    Cheers,
    Dave

    This one Dave, you'll see that I've commented out the cycle:

    [CameraDefinition.003]
    Title = $Spot
    Guid = {BCA3FDD1-FB83-4BBA-8407-4922A7F0D00C}
    Description = This is the description of the spot view.
    Origin = Center
    SnapPbhAdjust = Ordinal
    SnapPbhReturn = False
    PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
    PanPbhReturn = False
    Track = FlatChase
    ShowAxis = No
    AllowZoom = Yes
    InitialZoom = 1.0
    SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
    ShowWeather = Yes
    XyzAdjust = FALSE
    Transition = Yes
    ShowLensFlare=TRUE
    Category = Outside
    ClipMode = Spot

    I think you can comment out views you don't want which is something I'll do later.

    Roger:

    I saw that the "Transitions=yes" is there but what does commenting out "//CycleHidden=Yes" actually do ? I am starting to really like Flight . I'm getting use to no ATC and AI and it is beginning to be very relaxing just flying . I got the expansion(other Islands) and it is very enjoyable . I had to laugh when I tried to switch paints on the Stearman(Huge Stearman fan) because apparently you have to make so many successful landings or something to this effect to be eligible to use additional paints . I've been logging quite a bit of time in the Stearman and have been getting some good T and G's . Glad to get rid of the lady flight instructor in the first couple of instructional flights . I think she passed me on purpose cause I scared the s--t out of her .

    Thanks Roger!

    I'm wondering if there's a way to reverse the left/right direction of the pan view on the hat switch while in spot view mode (mine is reversed from the way it works in FSX).
    Cheers,
    Dave

    Rich, I don't if typing "no" will make it work hence the //. Commenting it out allows that view (gradual transition) to work when cycling through the views available. In effect it adds amnother view. I don't want chase or locked spot so I will experiment to see if they can be removed.

    The path to the Flight folder with the Camera.cfg is C:\Users\(your name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Flight

    The box at the bottom of this screen doesn't reverse the panning?

    http://www.avsim.com/pages/0212/Micr...s-Gameplay.jpg

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

    This is from the AVSIM review:

    Hope this helps,
