This capability, in conjunction with the auto advance feature, allows you define fairly sophisticated animations that can be used for automated Pre-flight inspections, scenery viewing, and cool transitions affects that can be used when creating flight videos. Linear transitions allows you to define a transition between two adjacent cameras in category. You can create a external view and after selecting that view you can “Walk” the camera around checking out your landing gear, props, etc. The mode is particularly useful for pre-flight inspections of your aircraft. If you ever played the video game asteroid that is what walk mode is like. While in this mode the camera can be walked or floated around using keyboard input. The views for a specific aircraft can be saved to a CSV file for easy editing Walk ModeĪny view’s camera can be placed in Walk Mode.

A HotKey or JoyStick button can be used to navigate to next or previous views.Views can be assigned to a HotKey or JoyStick button for easy selection.The camera’s X, Y, Z, Heading, and Pitch can all be adjusted for each view.Each view can be positioned by using keyboard keys or a control panel.Views can be controlled in a number of ways When the option is off the view will transition immediately. When this option is enabled the camera with smoothly transition from one view to another over approximately half a second. If the Scenic Flyer plugin from Digital Avionics is installed then the view can choose to display either the Scenic Flyer Glass panel or GA panel. Similar to the TrackIR feature you will likely want this enabled for certain views but disabled for views on instrument panel close-ups where a stable camera makes it easier to use a mouse to control cockpit knobs and switches. If the XPRealistic plugin is installed then the view can accept input from XPRealistic. The HeadShake plugin must be at version 1.3 or higher for the integration to work. If the HeadShake plugin from SimCoders is installed then the view can accept input from HeadShake. X-Camera fully supports the integration to SimHat. SimHat is a head tracking solution that uses your iPhone to track your head movement similar to TrackIR. We also support LinuxTrack on Linux and Mac systems. However, if the view is a close-up of an instrument panel then having TrackIR disabled is probably the better choice since the view will be stable making it easy to click on cockpit controls with the mouse. If the view is out the cockpit window having TrackIR enabled is desirable. Each view can enable or disable the TrackIR input.
