move back farther

Postby intheair_28 » Sun Nov 25, 2007 4:41 pm

Is there any way to make the view go back farther than it does just by pressing ctrl+enter? I'm trying to get a view from behind the wing instead of the front of it.

In a word, no. At least not with a standard FS9. You have two choices. Active Camera payware or Flight One's view utility freeware. Active Camera gives you a lot more than just movement around the cabin. If moving around the cabin is all you want then get the Flight One utility.

F1 View

F1 View is located on the ATR update page but it works for all aircraft.

I might misunderstand you but you can use the spot view CONTROL+s and the use the arrows on the number pad to position your view point directly behind the your aircraft then use the + or - keys to zoom in and out .
If you want a finer control you can assign keystrokes to the pan right pan left pan down and pan up. Or assign them to a hat switch  8-)

That will work for only so far back. If you want to move throughout the airplane cabin in a model with a virtual cabin you need some kind of utility to go past the FS9 limits.

Walk and Follow is by far the best camera utility for FS9 8-)

The recorder module is the best one for me. ;)
