Hi Folks.

If anyone knows answer to this ,thanks in advance.
I am thoroughly enjoying FSX but as I have always done a lot of helicopter flying theres something in FSX thats really bugging me and kind of hard to explain... but here goes...

I usually like to use an outside view of aircraft particularly at ground level for hover taxying/ t/off & landings etc.In FS2004 I would use the (fixed ) camera option in the view options. This was great as I could rotate the hat switch on joystick to change the view of helicopter without losing spacial awareness.

Now I love so much about FSX and some of the querkie view options are cool but there isnt one that keeps the camera in a stationary position-in spot view the camera still follows the aircraft when it tuns and as far as I can see the Locked spot view still follows when you turmn but just snaps back more quickly.....

I told you this was a bit hard to explain but if anyone knows what I mean or even better knows a way to change CFG file to help I would be really grateful.

I dont want to whinge as I am finding FSX breathtaking, especially the light/reflection effects but this little problem is driving me mad and just taking the edge off my full enjoyment.

many thanks dal5551

try the different exterior views, )tail, left, right, belly, etc) and it will be what you want (i think)
