Do you by chance have Active Camera?

I have found that for some unknown reason, Active Camera affects not only the VC but also the spot view when the "head latency" is set too high. Try turning this down, and if that doesn't help, turn the interior pilot view off and restart FS, then turn it back on.

Accessing the Active Camera from the flight:
Press "alt". This will bring up the pull down menu at the top.
Go to "options" and at the bottom of the menu there should be a choice for "ActiveCameraPro".
Make sure only "Active Fly-by" and "Internal Pilot View" are checked. Then go to "Configure". Down on the lower half of the window that comes up, you will find a figure labled "Head latency rate". Make sure this is <3.00. That should fix your problem. For more on this, see the documentation that came with the program.

Hope this does you some good! Grin

Active Camera is a wonderful program.

You know when you are flying and you switch to tower view it is always from the tower you left from? Well Active Camera makes this view into a "fly-by" view. It makes for some great screenshots!

It also has a bit where you can actually get out of your aircraft and walk around the ground without being in a plane! That is one of the best features.

ALSO it makes the VC view move with the g's the aircraft is experiencing. Such as when you bank left, the camera view swings to the right a bit and then returns to center. Really cool!

You can get it here:

It is titled ACTIVE CAMERA FOR FS 2002 v1.1. Get it, it is well worth the effort!

10 % free disk space is far too less to be able to run programs which utilize huge memory resources, like MSFS, smoothly and without jerkiness. Ideally, one should have at least 25% of their disk space free so that it can be used as virtual memory and this in turn adds to the RAM already present on the motherboard.

I don't represent M$. Then why the name M$? Simple...I like what they make, especially FS!
