Eyepoints MSFS

[Ron Attwood]

I wonder could you help. I have eyepoint left and right assigned in FSUIPC7, all good. Eyepoint up and down ignore me. I've had to resort to MFS controls which are called 'Cockpit view' up and down. I'd love to be able to keep everything under the FSUIPC7 roof. Any clues?

Can you tell me how you did that please? I'm still trying to find ways of changing views for my hardware cockpit.

I've tried all the "cockpit" view controls and it seems they are not connected up in MSFS yet.

29=RC,3,C66524,0     -{EYEPOINT_UP}-
30=RC,2,C66525,0     -{EYEPOINT_DOWN}-

Assigned to a two way switch on my CH yoke. (left hand side rocker switch.

Any time I can help John, don't hesitate to ask. 😀

I thought you said Left and Right were working okay, but not Up and Down? I've not tried the eyepoint controls -- i thought they just shifted the pilot, not changed the view direction. I'll have to experiment with them.

My brain is addled by all this new information. Sorry. Scrub what I said. In and Out are on switches assigned to key presses + and - . For or Up and Down MSFS takes over. I don't know if there is a keyboard command for Up and Down.

Just to be clear, all I want is adjustable Up Down In Out. Not specific 'views'.

Ah, I see. I am looking for view controls -- ideally pan left/right/up/down, but even a simple 2look left" and "look right" would help. It's really the only thing missing for my VFR cockpit. 

I'll try keypress assignment next.

Pete,

I am sure you already know this, but in the cameras.cfg file adjust these...

InitialXyz = 0.37, -0.15, 1.35

I do this in the [CAMERADEFINITION.0] Heading

These are for the king Air.

Nevermind, your talking about moving your eyepoint while your flying...

Having sorted that out. 😀

Is there an answer to the eyepoint situation? This is starting to sound trivial now that I have got the results I want. They're just not where I want them.

To control the eyepoint, I assign a hat switch to 'Select for Keypress' and then to Up, Down, Left, Right (i.e. numpad 8,2,4,6 with numlock off) on repeat, and that seems to work for me.

For quick view, I assign the same keys but with a ctrl modifier (to a different hat switch!), and this also gives me quick-view functionality.

Sorry I've been so long answering. I've sorted out what I wanted. Assign buttons to keystrokes! Eye point up = Up arrow. Eyepoint down = You'll never guess. 🙂

Thanks for you time. 👍
