This may not be the correct spot - if so I apologize in advance.  Has anyone else sprung for the EZCA V1.15 (Ezdok camera) and is it successfully installed?  If so, I'd appreciate a dumbed down version of how this is done.  Every once in a while I get part of it working then nothing  .

This version is fairly new and costs some money.  It's not the installation but the setting up.  The gent who designed the software is Russian and his conversion of the how-to manual into English leaves me struggling.  From all reports, he's a genius but that makes only one of us, hence the need for help?

Over at www.flight1.com  He also has a forum as a 'flight1 partner' at www.simforums.com

It was a Flight1 wrapper/installer - not sure what that is.  The manual, while complete, was written by a person who thinks in Russian so I'm missing some of the logic  .

I have EZDok v1.15 & after I overcame the same hurdle that you are stuck on I have it up & running & it is a brilliant bit of software.
It's best to take this in small chunks (or else I will confuse myself)  so here goes;

Have you removed the shortcut keys assigned to your joystick in FSX?

I assume the programme has loaded?
You have FSX running in windowed mode
as opposed to full screen? 

You have the ECZA window open?

So far so good?!

Have you configured your joystick within ECZA?

Is there a particular function that you are stuck on
eg creating camera from scratch in the a/c,  assigning keys to view these camera? etc

As I said small chunks.
More to follow------------

Great that you've made some progress. I have virtual cockpit cameras set up in about 4 a/c. Views as follows;
Straight ahead/look fwd sitting up in seat to look round the nose in a taildragger/trim/radios/fuel cut off. The first is set up on a button on my joystick (Saitek Cyborg Evoforce) with the last 4 on the hat switch. On my RealAirDuke B60which has 4 pax seats in the back I have set up 2 cameras so as to look at the back of the pilots head or out of the window, again these are linked to buttons on my joystick.
I can use the hat switch to either pan arround the cockpit, or if pressing the assigned button in the joystick configuration [ page 18 of the manual] can use the hat switch to change views between different cameras, floating from one view to the next.
Is your set up broadly similiar to the above???
Not sure why you can only set up 2 cameras - can you expand on this?

I'll come back to you on World cameras

For anyone not familiar EZDok & reading this must be thinking I ain't going to touch this with a barge pole. Well I think you would be missing out on a great programme. Not only does it give you super smooth transmission between different camera views it really does add realistic movement, bumping up & down etc. as you taxi on a not so super smooth taxiway. Chris Palmer uses EZDok  to video his lessons in his Aviator90 series [ a series of 45 FREE lesson] Check out an example at http://www.flyaoamedia.com/blog/aviator90/aviator90-episode-31/

Aircraft cameras woked ok for me.
No idea on how to work the "3D" mode!
World mode. Well I can position one camera and you have to set it at the position the a/c is at and the camera will record in the direction that the a/c was pointing. Difficulty I have is that If I position a 2nd camera & point it in a different direction, save it , go to world camera #1 then back to world camera #2 and it is pointing in the direction of the first camera

I think more is to come in the next version, as hinted in the manual & the forum. I also agree it is an amazing programme that could do with a "keep it simple stupid" set of directions. If these were backed up by video guides it would certainly help
