EZdok Camera Version 2 First Release now Available

Willsb wrote: After some more testing I have to say that V2 is significantly worse than V1 for me.. Can't seem to create new cameras... Can only copy and paste existing cameras Can't seem to edit some cameras. I press the edit key (NUM 2) and hear a single "blip" noise, and move camera then hit NUM2 again and hear the asme blip noise. When I then try and switch to another camera and back again it hasn't saved the changes It's not clear when EZCA saves changes to the aircraft camera preset. I've made the "Pilot" camera for the F22 about 3 times now as it doesn't seem to remember the camera when quitting/reloading P3D. Horizon hold feature doesn't work. UI Is still clunky (as above, I can't create new cameras at all), I used to be able to double click in a cell and write a name to create a new camera in EZCA v1, but that doesn't work anymore. Still can't "Zoom out" on the Virtual Walls UI. There are some wall edges that are off-screen and so their boundary can't be dragged back into the visible portion of the Walls Popup. This has been a problem since V1. Can't scroll or resize the popup windows as per user above. Mouse and keyboard speed settings sometimes seem to change Removing key assignments is still clunky. I have to focus the input and then close the EZCA View System popup before pressing another key to remove an assignment it seems? Sometimes switching to an "Aircraft" camera after being in a VC camera switches the view to the build in P3D Fly-By Mode View, you have to click the aircraft camera again for the correct camera to be loaded. Why do i now get a popup saying "The parameters has been edited do you want to save settings?" Doesn't it autosave changes like EZCA v1..? I've tried running EZCA as admin, rerunning the EZCA config tool, switching SimConnect versions (the latest I have installed is 10.0.61259.0) but nothing help. I'm assuming there is some mis-configuration with my setup, as others are not reporting these issues...  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I got the copy/paste camera thing sorted out.  I have to say, not sure why you'd want to require someone to click a button for the Horizontal Hold.  One more thing to remember...I don't have to click a button in the real world to turn my head.  Still, it works really well when it's on.  Strongly urge that you have an option to have it on without a button click.

Another thing.  I have an 8 position hat switch I use in button mode.  It'd be nice to have an option to use all 8 positions.

One last thing, how do I turn off all the bouncing around on the runway.  I keep turning things off but not the right things and my 777, is bouncing down the runway acting like a 172.  I know I must be missing something. 

Still, overall, it's nice from what I see.

EDIT:  Is the bumping around related to the Aircraft Speed set in the Surface setting?  Should get rid of those arrows as they don't work and aren't needed.

For those who cannot find the config.exe file

Please disable your antivirus and reinstall Ezdok. My antivirus deleted this file upon installation, because it was considered as infected file. I disabled my antivirus and excluded the installation folder on my antivirus scan setting, then reinstalled ezca2 and everything worked fine.

But i have one issue where unless im in Edit mode i cant seem to move around the vc using keyboard keys (up, down, left, right, page up, page down) in any view. I can pan around using middle mouse but not move around using keyboard shortcuts?Is this normal or some mistake i have made?but keyboard shortcuts work if i go into edit mode Appreciate some help Thanks

I have the same problem: no config.exe. I hope they'll give us a solution!

Thanks for V2, install was buggy but, every system is different and with all add-ons anything can happen.  In my case, easy, uninstalled, fixed exe.dll and checked dll.xml to be on the safe side. GUI looks cool and although don't have time now, will post later. Please Marnitfarr keep calm and plow ahead, you're doing great stuff, thanks for discount and being on top of this forum!

On my machine the edit mode is acting weird. Sometimes it works when I press Num2, sometimes it doesn't. And when I'm in edit mode the mouse scroll wheel for adjusting the zoom level is also spotty. Sometimes it works, then it doesn't. Has anyone else seen this?

Yes I have problems with the edit mode and mouse zoom in FSX Box edition. The mouse zoom is not working at all!
In P3D no problem to use the mouse wheel to zoom and edit.

Please make it work in replay mode again like v1? What about you ?  What is cinematic camera ? May be Floating camera ? Stream ? What the stream? this is EZCA . Not a chas//ne Floating camera will support in a middle of Feb.

Sorry I should use less complex English....


It's working very well for me but does not work when doing a replay. V1 worked beautiful in replay mode. Will this be fixed?

My problems are in P3D v3 - latest Hotfix2.

You want enabled Horizon Hold always ?  Or autoenable after take-off?

Thanks, that did the trick!

In ezca2 folder Ezca.exe Config.exe And Prepar3d.exe in your sim install folder Are all set with file properties -compatibility - change settings for all users - run as administrator Also they are excluded under your anti virus software - including Windows defender

Tried it, simperfi:

Redid that, still having problems:

The first time edit mode works fine. (beep-beep-bepp...)
The next time I get only a single beep and it isn't working.

Updating the camera set after the first edit doesn't change the behaviour for me.

Second 'problem' that wasn't there in v1

My previous camera key is assigned to "Shift+A" and works fine on the keyboard ("A" is next camera).
On the Logitech G13 it isn't working - the view just jumps to the previous one and then returns (i.e. goes to the next one). Seems EZCA parses the "A" again - it happens also when I change the assignment to "Ctrl+A".
Doesn't matter if I add delays to the buttons.

As view shortcuts (e.g. "CTRL+1") an the G13 work fine, I think there might be a problem with G13 and how EZCA handles the 'key presses'.

It probably is my setup, as other users have P3D v3 running fine - but I don't know what it is.

Hey guys,

Hi, how can I reduce the little trembles/jitter in VC and how can I add forward and backwards movement when I give throttle and brake?

Thanks for V2!

Yeah, that would be nice to know.

Can anyone help. I've purchased and downloaded version 2. When i download it geives me an error saying either my password/email is incorrect (although it is because im logged in) or version 2 is not associated with my account (which it should because the confirmation email says it is). I also tried installing using the key but i do not know where to get the password from. I've used my acct password and the order number. Nothing works. I also tried using admin and that didn't work. I'm not going to pay $12.00 to purchase again. I've already paid. Can anyone please help because now it has locked me out of my Flight1 acct. No telling how long it will take before I can get back into that now. I'm tempted to just ask for a refund. This should not be this difficult. Sorry for the frustration but I've been deal with EZDOK problems since version 1.16 but yet i still continue to use it. That should let you know that when it works I like it and support the developer but I'm starting to get fed up. If i can't get this resolved I'll get my refund and move on to Chaseplane. 

Where is the list of new features for v2?

Same problem with edit mode. sometimes zoom on scroll wheel doesn't work. Does anyone have profile for any A2A Ga airplanes?

People this thread is out of control !!!

I also have had v2 for less than a day - I totally get the fact there is a big learning curve on this - believe me I know

No way will I use a profile from a twin for a single - I have to install my A2A collection into my test pc and create camera sets and play with the effects - Not sure all are working in initial release anyway - I need a few days to get familiar with it

It is possible I can provide a link to my sets but the intention is that dev will research and provide fully custom sets/effects over a period of time for popular addons and default planes for FSX and P3d - anything I provide is just a stop-gap measure
