Take the 747 ALT setting on the 747 for example. I get about 300 feet per drag, so setting it to 35000 is an afternoon’s work. Also if you drag out of the x-plane window (easy to do if you are not full screen) then it undrags you as you come back. Grr. Is there a quicker way to do this?

Is there a keyboard way to lean forward and look down? I can’t find a keyboard way of seeing the nav radio frequency without the knob obscuring it. I can do it with the mouse though.

I think the quick look is a great improvement (especially as I suggested it some months back) :-). Seriously though it all works much better.

I assume after talking to our tech support that you know you can still move around the 3D cockpit by right clicking?

Now i cant look around my 3d cockpit at all. What the hell did you guys do? I understand there were people who hated it but you could have left that option for those who loved it. thanks alot.

Phew! thanks Chris, thought I was going mad.Bring on 6!

There’s no plan to trash your settings if that’s what you’re asking. 🙂 It’s a preference file just like any other but i will double check with Ben to make sure the installer won’t delete files it doesn’t recognize in the aircraft folder.

PS.. Will saved views be removed during updates?

Yes, b4’s viewpoint to viewpoint scroll was better, and I’m really glad Chris is heading that way. However, things are never that simple:

In internal views one simulates a pilot more than a camera, and the shortest route between an internal aft-right view and an internal aft-left view is not through the neck-breaking 180Ëš cardinal point but by the 0Ëš cardinal point (Linda Blair in Exorcist excepted ;-). It’s a small point that can be ignored unless one is already trapping for internal versus external views.

The “_mems” are the assignment keys. So they should almost always be the same as the quick_look keys but with a modifier. So by default 0-9 for quick_look and CONTROL+0-9 for _mems.
