Hi Guys, just want to speed up my panning in VC, what do i need to change? :wavey:It is controlled by entries in a camera view. Are you talking about the generic VC view, or another cockpit VC view? Also, what sim are you using?

Take a look at your aircraft.cfg file and see if there are any [CameraDefinition.xyz] entries. These control additional views over and above the baseline VC view if there is one.

Google some info regarding camera views for your sim - It will be worth it. You can add in your own, and with a little practice you will be quite happy.

The baseline"VC" view is buried somewhere, I don't bother with it, I just make one or more custom cameras.


Here is an example of a view I made a for certain airplane (will not say what one). NOTE - I personally find momentum effect annoying and unrealistic:


CameraDefinition.xyz]
Title = "Captain"
Guid = {123XXY etc fictional)}
Origin = Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect = NO
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = YES
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = .7
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=20
HeadingPanRate=60
InitialXyz=.10, 0.06, -.30//L/R (+ is RIGHT), U/D (+ is UP, F/B (- is BACK)
InitialPbh=12.0, 0.0, 0.0//Pan rotate up/down (+ is NU)


Note the Pitch and heading pan rate lines - they can be changed to your liking.

I also set up custom key strokes for"View next category", "next in category", etc to make switching around easy for me.

It will take a little time and testing, but it will pay off, especially for a plane you like and fly often.

Maybe i should be more specific, i was thinking of a generic setting for all ac in FS9, If i fly from FSX the head panning in VC view seems about right but in FS9 seems about half speed, i was wondering if there was one fix for all ac rather than editing individual cfg's to get up and running, :wavey:

Some googleing brought up this:

FS9.cfg ==> PAN_RATE=...

I am using PAN_RATE=700,

The default value seems to be 400

Thanks Hartwig, that's what im after, your value's are spot on :ernaehrung004:
