Efficient use of 3D cockpit

[micknudsen]

Hi,

I have just purchased the beautiful CRJ-200 from X-Aviation, and I'm really fascinated by the great details of the 3D cockpit. However, I find it really difficult to use.

How do you guys use 3D cockpits? When I move my mouse, the entire view moves (and it moves really fast), and it is difficult to move the mouse slowly enough to focus on and press the right buttons in the cockpit.

Is it possible to use a combination of keyboard and mouse in some way or maybe just slow down the mouse? I could imagine something like changing the view using keyboard (or maybe buttons on the yoke) and then (view the view fixed) press buttons using the mouse. Is something like that possible?

Thanks,

Michael Knudsen

Hi, Michael,

Welcome to X-Pilot! It's great to have you here.

When moving in 3D view with your mouse, press the 'q' or 'e' key on your keyboard to lock the camera position. This will allow you to now move your mouse to a switch without the camera tracking the mouse. When done, you can re-enter 3D mode by pressing CTRL O.

Additionally, for the CRJ, you can utilize the pre-set pilotview configurations as seen here:

Hope this helps!
