Live Camera

FSUIPC4 will allow you to use your hat switch the method is described in the guide.

Live Camera Control will allow control via a networked client.

Stephen

We will soon provide an option to run the LWE on a networked client, and when we implement the planned Live Camera Control interface will allow camera control and editing on a client system (mostly to allow full screen operation on the central server).

We have noted your comment and will try to incorporate it into Live Camera Control. Please see the description for Live Camera Control on page one of this topic. Have you enabled all 6 degrees of freedom in TrackIR since I have no problem seeing everything.

That's the plan. Both the Live Camera editing and the new Live Camera Control dialogs will be able to be opened on a client system. The main point being to allow camera editing and control whilst in full screen mode.

You are not doing anything wrong, TrackIR was deliberately disabled whilst in camera edit mode at the request of users who found it impossible to edit their camera definitions with it enabled. We will have to see about making it a selectable option.

Stephen

Oh.  That's funny.  I don't see how it's possible to edit the camera position without being able to look around the cockpit to see where you are positioning yourself.  :-)  Of course, I'm using the camera edit mode to try to position myself precisely in the aircraft seat where I would be in life.  So I have to be able to look down and to the side to locate myself centered over the seat and at the right height relative to the canopy or windows or seat back. 

A selectable option would work great.

I purchased today and am interested for the moment in the Live Camera feature as an alternative to EZCA.  A few questions I can't seem to find answers to please: 

Yes we recommend you restore FSX default key assignments.

Cycle views etc. All coming very soon, possibly next release ...

Stephen

EZDOC also has a feature where if a button is pushed while moving the hat switch; alows the hat switch to be used for something else.  In my case, I use the hat switch for both panning and selecting views.

Is there still plans to make it so you don't need to re-enable fsx controls? My yoke, keypad, throttles etc all mapped either through fsupic, Linda or Ezca enabled at present. Don't really want to enable them as they have habit of creating noise against settings. My belkin keypad is configured to appear like a joystick with each key as a button and I use this to select the various views in Ezca at present. Hat switch works on yoke because both the keypad and yoke are activated by Ezca.

Turning off Ezca disables both the keypad and hat switch unless I enable fsx controls. The only other way would be to map the buttons as key presses in Linda but then I have to find some 16 spare keys not used by fsx. I really want to use live camera but this precludes me from switching from Ezca at present.

One final thing in Ezca there is a fly view, a great view set up beneath the underbody of the aircraft, not quite sure how to describe it but it floats underneath and it changes as you approach the ground, and excellent angle for filming touchdowns, can this type of view be replicated in live camera?

On weather front, with latest version, I've yet to experience the strange wind I reported the other day, but will continue to test and let you know if get it again. I did get one wind shift in the descent the other day causing a momentarily overspeed, but was when flying online and busy part of flight so didn't get chance to document. Cloud depiction been amazing, but still not liking the ts generation when none should really be occurring.

At present, even though you Pause TIR the raw data is still read and processed, the polled data just doesnt change. This is the only indication from the TIR device.The next version will give you more control over TIR with camera views. Please refer to the new Coming Next topic.

Stephen & Cheryl,

Hi,
sorry to compare, but with EZdok it is possible!
To do so, I assume you have to abandon the FSX 'internal' view control and program your 'own' one?!
Robert

I am using the 2.25 beta and can now disable trackir with a joystick button and pan with my hatswitch in spot view. Thanks for fixing that. 

Hi Jean-Paul

It would be possible to add sound effects the only problem is obtaining the actual sound samples.

I did post a topic some time ago fishing for ideas but I must have deleted it after a while. I think it was in response to someone asking for runway sound effects such as the bumps as the aircraft rolls over lights. I suppose it would help if there were packages that allowed us to trigger true to life sound effects (bumps and rattles etc.).

Stephen

We also know a few RW pilots who fly big jets in addition to enjoying GA flying. But it is a case of getting permissions and equipment good enough to make the recording sessions worthwhile.

Stephen

Steve Inwood created those sound effects for the NGX, (Ground only ) and are superb. They are freeware, but the thread at avsim is so long, you might have trouble finding it. You even hear the tyre (nosewheel) thump.

Stephen, if you want, I can e mail them to you to try out.

Great news ! Thanks Stephen & Cheryl 

You are correct, they are all on the 'to do' list. But you can jog my memory when we start that beta dev cycle.

Hi Bert

You can select more than one aircraft using the standard Windows methods. CTRL and click key to add/remove selections, SHIFT and click to select a consecutive group, and of course you can assign all aircraft.

So for instance, a camera view for the 737 can be assigned to all 737 types, including all varieties of NGX etc.

Regards
Stephen
