Apart from Realair and samdim's cap 10 are there any other FS9 planes with built-in head latency?

The only others that I can remember are Bear Studios' MiGs (payware) and FS-KBT's Mitsubishi F-2A (freeware).

I haven't flown it in a while, but I THINK that the French Cessna 150 might have it...

Nope - just checked, and the VC shakes with the engine running, but there's no true head latency.

What is head latency?

It's the slight difference in movement between the aircraft and your viewpoint in VC mode, as your "head" bobs about.
So you will see the canopy frame move a little more than the outside view.
It adds to the realism by making you nauseous...:d

It is a bit of a pest if you use TrackIR though.

I think the Aussim Glasair III has it too.

There is a commercial program

Active Camera 2004 v 2.0
which amongst other things allows you to set the
level of latency you require for any aircraft.


options dialog: Internal View
head latency 0.0 to 2.0


I 'm not connected with the company, but I think it's
still supported.

I tried the trial version of that and couldn't seem to get that effect to work, which was a deal breaker. Was that feature deactivated on the trial? Besides lived-in textures, I think this latency thing would really add a quantum level of realism to simming.

It definitely adds to the sense of realism for me. Flying without latency feels really odd now - like yr head is hard-mounted to the structure of the plane or something.

The Digital Aviation Dornier Do-27 has this feature as well.

Yeah I seem to remember having some issues with the CAP-10B and my Track IR.... did a wierd 'stuttering' like it had touretts or something; Had to uninstall the cap-10 which is a great freeware plane. I was disappointed. Can the head latency be removed from the aircraft or is it hard-coded?

The Britten Norman BN-2. It can be found at this site:

Neat little plane. When ascending or descending in particular, things tend to bob around a bit.
