Working absolutely perfect now with RangeRepeatRate set very high. Feels even smoother than normal Axis pan/pitch! Thanks so much for all your help and including this as an option. :)

Thanks, there's some good sensitivity settings in that cfg file. After some testing again, if I use the default FSX controls for panning (shift/ctrl numpad), it pans smoothly in the direction I want when I press and hold the keys. So I thought well then I can just set my axis up for keypress and hold for those keys on the right side of the axis assignments tab. Unfortunately it only pans one tick at a time each time I move the joystick, like as if it's acting as keypress/release instead of keypress/hold. Not sure why this is. Example: I changed all the view pan controls to WASD for simplicity. Right side of assignments tab is keypress/hold. And each parameter corresponds to the WASD key codes as per the advanced guide. However it only pans one tick at a time.

Just tried with Pan View and the angle set for each parameter. Identical result as the separate pans. About 5 jerky pans a second. I guess maybe what I want can't be done. I'll probably just stick with normal Axis pan/pitch and live with the view resetting to center. Thanks for helping though.

Sorry for not explaining it right. I'll try and explain it better. I don't believe I need to make the panning faster the more I move the stick. So instead a complete linear panning speed, regardless of how far I move the joystick would probably be just fine. So for example: Push stick left any amount, pan smoothly left and keep panning until I let go of the joystick. Push stick right any amount, pan smoothly right and keep panning until I let go of the joystick. Push stick up any amount, pitch smoothly down and keep pitching until I let go of the joystick. Push stick down any amount, pitch smoothly up and keep pitching until I let go of the joystick. I can achieve what I want if I set it up as followed in the axis assignments tab: Left side: all unchecked. Right side: Left/Right Axis Range 1: -16384 to -2048 Control sent when range entered: Pan Right (repeat checked) Range 2: 2048 to 16383 Control sent when range entered: Pan Left (repeat checked) Up/Down Axis: Range 1: 2048 to 16383 Control sent when range entered: Pan Down (repeat checked) Range 2: -16384 to -2048 Control sent when range entered: Pan Up (repeat checked) This works, but the repeat rate isn't high enough to to make a smooth pan like you get when you hold spacebar and move your mouse.

Sorry about that, yeah I forgot the new lines in the .ini file. Basically though, as it is, it only pans/pitches some what right when I only apply either direct left/right heading pan, or up/down pitch. Also the joystick has to be moving for it to pan. If I hold it in some direction, it stops panning until I actually move the stick again. Also am trying the original solution again and another thing I noticed is if I pan one way, and then want to pan the other way, the camera resets to the center position before panning the other direction.

Edit: Whoops, I forgot to include the new lines in the .ini file. This new solution doesn't seem to work quite right. If I apply direct panning without any pitching, it works. Same way the other way around, but if I try and pan/pitch at the same time, the camera doesn't move. Also it doesn't seem to pan at all at the extreme ranges of the joystick.

Alright I have these set up and running and it's exactly what I want, and feels quite smooth. The only problem I'm having now is it's panning/pitching too fast for the amount I move the stick. Is there any setting I can control the sensitivity of it? Thanks again, definitely something I probably wouldn't have figured out on my own.

Alright I'll take a look at the LUA facilities. I didn't see an option for increment max/min. I'm guessing it's maybe in the .ini?

Yeah I guess what I want for my camera is not axis based, but I was hoping that I could set it up such that if I say hold the stick to the left it would pan smoothly to the left and the less distance the stick is held, the slower it would pan, whereas holding the stick fully one way, it would pan fast. And when I let go (axis zeros) it would freeze at that current camera position. I tried your method of using the right hand side of axis assignments and it works, but it pans in increments and not smoothly. I have control to repeat checked as well. The triggers act just like rudder pedals, they are an axis. I guess I'm trying to set up almost the same ideas as my camera. If I hold the left pedal in just a small ways, the camera zooms out slowly. And the more I press it the faster it zooms out. And when at zero, keeps the current zoom level. Same thing for the right pedal, just zooming in. And I would like to set a min/max zoom that it could do. Mostly max zoom as that's the one I'm having a problem with zooming to far.

Hello, I'm using FSUIPC to program all my axes/buttons instead of FSXs control menu. I'm using a PS3 controller to fly as it's all I have, but suits by needs. I have 2 questions regarding panning and zooming. I have everything setup and calibrated without any troubles, but want to make a few adjustments that I'm not sure how to go about doing. First is I have my right analog stick setup as panning for Pitch and Heading axis. However, I was wondering if I can keep the view from resetting to center when i let go of the stick. I'd like the panned view to stay where it's at when I pitch/heading pan in some direction. Pretty much the same thing when you hold spacebar and move the mouse the view stays where it's at after moving. My second question is I want to setup my analog triggers to be zoom in and out, but have a limit to the maximum zoom in and out position as I believe I tried View Zoom Set and it seemed to work, however the values it used to zoom were way to sensitive and high to be useful. I would like something like full left trigger to zoom out to a maximum of 0.40 and the right trigger to zoom in to a maximum of around 1.00. Thanks.
