Panning

[Pepere]

Panning with the pan button on a joy stick or yoke - is there a way to adjust how fast it pans?

Thanks

Yes, but it is a tiresome task.
At each position or view other than the FSX default V.C. pilot position add : PanAcceleratorTime=0

Below is an example that I edited to the the FSX default 737 right seat position.




[CameraDefinition.001]
Title = "Right Seat"
Guid = {8ff6c134-098d-409f-baec-caba3f683f98}
Origin = Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect = YES
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = YES
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = .8 //---->>> 0.6
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=20
HeadingPanRate=60
InitialXyz=0.94, 0.0, 0.0
InitialPbh=2, 0, 0
PanAcceleratorTime=0

There's also a Cameras.cfg file you can change which I think will change the pan speed for all your aircraft. There are 2 cameras.cfg files.. one in the FSX root folder which is a backup and one where your FSX.cfg file is. Change the pan values for the VC in this file (the one where your FSX.cfg is) ..

[CameraDefinition.002]
Title = Virtual Cockpit
Guid = {C95EAB58-9E4A-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 = 0.7
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=30
HeadingPanRate=75
PanAcceleratorTime=0
HotKeySelect=1

PitchPanRate and HeadingPanRate are the two you can fiddle with but I think HeadingPanRate is the one to try. You can fiddle with all of them really but I'm not sure what'll happen! The highest value you can set is 100 so I'd try a HeadingPanRate of 100 if you want it faster or lower than 75 if you want it slower

Thanks.. Will give both a try and seesss what happens.

the Cameras.cfg file did the trick. Actually wanted to slow down the spot view and the cfg did the trick very well.


Thanks
