How to customise Cockpit Camera Position, pls help...

[toby23]

I know how to move around in the cockpit in FSX but with TrackIR active, you can't create a custom view position.

The standard view position in every cockpit is too far back for me and I can't figure out how to move forwards?

Every time i reset the view, TrackIR places me really far back again...

How can i get TrackIR to keep a certain view/ zoom/ fov in FSX?

Many thanks,

Toby

You will need to edit the cfg file, for each aircraft, to reflect the center point that you want.

I have the same trouble, I presume it�s the Initial zoom you�re refering to. I did change that, and still it would pop up with a zoom factor of 30%.
Found a thread discribing:

adding these two custom cameras to your aircraft.cfg (see note at bottom)file will override the "default" camera.cfg file entries:

Define a custom 2d and virtual panel view zoom:

[CameraDefinition.001]
Title = Cockpit
Guid = {F1386D92-4782-4682-A137-738E25D1BAB5}
Description = This is the description of the cockpit view
Origin = Cockpit
ShowPanel = Yes
SnapPbhAdjust = Ordinal
SnapPbhReturn = True
PanPbhAdjust = Ordinal
PanPbhReturn = True
Track = None
ShowAxis = FrontOnly
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = 0.8 // sets the initial zoom to 80%
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
HotKeySelect=2

[CameraDefinition.002]
Title = Virtual Cockpit
Guid = {D95EAB58-9E4A-4E2A-A34C-D8D9D948F078}
Description = This is the description of the virtual cockpit view.
Origin = Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect = Yes
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = YES
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = 0.9 // sets the initial zoom to 90%
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=30
HeadingPanRate=75
PanAcceleratorTime=0
HotKeySelect=1

NOTE: I did that and still didn�t work until I made the change in the aircraft.cfg of my default flight aircraft, the Aircreation582SL. And it seemt to have cost me my right seat view in my 737, but I can live with that
