Cockpit Camera Translation

[odourboy 1,292]

Up-down, left-right, forward-back movements of the cockpit camera/viewpoint... is there any way to slow these down? I want to precisely position my view in the cockpit but the movements are too quick. I can slow down the external drone camera movements with translation speed bindings,  but I can't find an equivalent for the cockpit. Is there a way to adjust the speed?

I’m away from my PC but while in the cockpit hit escape and go to the camera settings and I think it’s called something like camera speed. You can slow it right down but it also slows all movements right down as well I.e panning with a hat switch on your joystick

That's it. 'Freelook Speed'. Thanks. Sadly, there's no control binding available for it,  but at least I can pop open the camera window and set if to taste.

Anyone know if there’s a way to safe the camera speed and momentum permanently, or at least for one flight?

Cheers,

It can be permanently saved under Options/General Options/Camera/Freelook Speed or Freelook Momentum.

Is there any way to change the DRONE view speed?

Awesome, thank you much 🍻

I wish you could hold down SHIFT-arrow to have fine-grained translation movements though.  Is this possible?

Yes, it's easy.

You want to assign two commands to the exact same keyboard key or button:

Increase Drone Translation Speed

and

Increase Drone Rotation Speed

--

Then, on another key or button:

Decrease Drone Translation Speed

and

Decrease Drone Rotation Speed.

I use a handy available hat on Warthog throttle. flick the hat up or down to speed up / slow down the drone rotation and translation speed.

You can see the 2 sliders moving in the handlebar window if it happens to be open when you press the key.

Axis and Ohs button assignment window has check boxes for 3 speeds. Slow, Medium, Fast. There's also a window to run at any speed in between those 3. 

So you can translate cockpit views up down in out left right: slow medium or fast. 

For instance for rudder trim, I use a toggle on my Warthog Throttle to make the rudder trim operate fast or slow. Could assign keyboard keys the same way. Axis and Ohs allows any button assignment be sent once, or repeated and at any speed you want the repeats to a happen. It's all just quick and simple check box selections.
