Simviation Forums

1)  Does anyone know how this default is determined:
    Views>View options>Spot plane>DISTANCE  ??

Is it possible to re-program this so as not to have to repeat this step each time I fly a given aircraft?  I like to spot at about 100 feet and then zoom in/out as necessary.

2)  Can this default:
    Views>View options>Spot plane>GRADUAL TRANSITION be turned off permanently?

Thanks for any help here

Unfortunately, this is one of the functions that has to be set each time you use FS 2K2.

Another possibility is to download ActiveCamera from the utilities pages here. This is a .dll file that sits in your Modules folder, ann converts the Tower view to a fly-by view. Then you can change the viewing parameters: distance, height.

Apex, if you don't already have ActiveCamera, I strongly suggest that you get it. It makes sim flying a whole new experience!

Unless there have been changes or upgrades, I recall that Active Camera Pro was better than just the Active Camera.
