ChasePlane Support

Hi, I'm experiencing stuttering when panning. Is this a setting I have wrong? Thanks, Doug

Hi, So far I am very pleased with chaseplane... However, I do have a recurring issue.. I start chaseplane via SimstarterNG and it puts me into the virtual cockpit with TrackIR paused.in the correct position. As soon as I unpause TrackIR I am ejected from the pilot seat and catapulted approx. 30 foot in the air and I have to use my controls to get me back...This happens on every single occasion and is getting rather annoying. Am I doing something wrong or is this an issue. Hopefully somebody can shed light on it. Thank you Dave

I don't have the issue of the stuttering( as mentioned in another post) using the hat switch although the speed is slower than before installing chase plane is there anywhere to speed it up(in the vc mode not within the gui of chase plane), or a step that i missed out on

Hi all, First, props (get it cause the q400 immersion?) to the FSFX team for this amazing product, I absolutely love it!Although, I seem to have a few issues. First, it automatically launches Chaseplane when I start P3D, even though "Auto Launch with P3D V3" is off. Second, whenever I first load in, the cameras outside are zoomed out far, and I have to manually zoom them back in. Not sure if I did something I did or if this is a glitch. Any help would be appreciated! EDIT: Running the latest experimental version, if that is information needed.

The experimental version of CP auto loads with P3D, but on shutdown of the sim, CP remains loaded and messages that it has lost connection with the sim. Is that normal behaviour? Shouldn't CP unload when you shut down the sim?

I recently installed Chase Plane and I noticed in the FSX SE Add OnDrop Down Chase Plane is not there, it's in my taskbar to be easily reached. Is this normal? I haven't tried to set the cameras yet. Will it work the way it is?

Hello When i switch from inside view to outside view...it defaults to the fly by view?? instead of my presets..i go back inside ,then outside once again and i works??? very strange..anyone else have this cheers

i already messaged Keven about this, but i might as well post it here Every since the 1.5 experimental alpha build i'm not able to use my key combo bindings. Let me explain for example for anything in the VC i use my numlock buttons . for example. 1 =pilot view 4 = FMC and etc. For all my external views like custom spot, wingviews and etc i always use right Shift + numlock for example. Right shift + 9 is Right wingview infront of engine. I tried creating these views again , and i can set them in ChasePlane but when i press the combo on my keyboard it does nothing. Untill this fixed i'm using the 0.1.91 Alpha Picture for more explanation http://imgur.com/a/LzqBs …

I have my ch yoke programmed with some flight controls like trim and flaps in fsuipc. With ChasePlane, it seems to have disabled the trim button on the left. How do I fix?

I'm flying along for 10 minutes without touching the controls, chaseplane kicks into cinematic mode, but when I click the button defined for my preferred preset (cockpit view), cinema mode just resets its viewpoint. I have to bring up the chaseplane interface and select my preferred preset with the mouse. Am I doing something wrong?

With CP active, my zoom factor in the main view (Cockpit) keeps moving slightly from 1.49 to 1.50. As a result, the prompt in the right hand corner (indicating what view and zoom factor) , never disappears. I have assigned the CP movements to my xbox controller, but it is turned off.

Hi, I would like to request key binging feature with specific view. I am finding a way to go back to the Pilots in Command view and Tail view in a quick and simple key press. Someone like me sets a LOTS of view in complex airliner, PIC, MCP, FMC, Radios, F/O, Overhead panel, jumpseat observer. Right now I would have to cycle through all the list to go from PIC to F/O. S Such feature enable us to navigate to a view without cycle through all the camera preset and it would be a time saver! Thanks

After launching ChasePlane, the keyboard lag and I could hardly type with my keyboard. But if I quit ChasePlane, keyboard works fine. Using Corsair k70 RGB. Fixed by experimental version

Hi all, Still have the following issues in CP experimental (I don't have them in the non-experimental version) that I am not seeing them listed in the known issues: 1) Ctr+, Shift+ assignments doesn't work 2) XBOX wireless controller does not reconnect to CP when restarting following a power save auto shutdown 3) Many crashes during a flight that reset CP and have to re-enable experimental every time. I attach log below 4) Many times launching the app from the shortcut does not launch the app. I have to click it 2-3 times to actually launch Hope these are also been get addressed. Crash log: **** Please send this file at for analysis ***…

I have a logitech G13 which is set up to send keystrokes. It has a little joystick which I assign to W,A,S,D. This works fine within the sim itself, and CP "sees" the keystrokes when I use the G13 to setup the movement keys in the setup settings screen, but in flight, CP is not seeing the keystrokes.

Will there ever be an option to pan around the aircraft in outside view with the joystick hat switch ?? Please let me know. Tony

Is the static camera implemented yet my options are greyed out and it says no camera in area, but in p3d 3.4 i can choose a static camera that takes me to a random place in the world?

Hi Keven, as soon as I exit cinematic mode, the camera doesn't automatically switch back to the previous view. The view remains somewhere "in the center" of the aircraft. Here's a screenshot, sorry for the darkness: https://abload.de/img/chase1a0sk2.png As far as I know, I have only seen this on the iFly 747. The views were previously imported from my PMDG 777 profile, however I get the same result with a new created view. I think this is a bug, is it already known? Thank you.

Is it normal not to have the turbulance effects when playing back flight recordings to make videos?

I've been getting strange random camera movements sine the last update. Here's a link to a video: http://youtu.be/i00DOrPZ0Ms I've tried different planes and playing with the turbulence controls but I can't make it stop. It happens randomly, and sometimes gets pretty drastic.

Would just like to personally say a big thank you to Keven for helping iron out some problems i was having Nothing is to much trouble to him this is what support should be about he must be so busy trying to get the alpha ver sorted yet still has time for you as well as trying to answer all the questions on here Long may you and the team reign supreme regards Garry A very happy customer :smile:

Hello there. Does anyone know how to get ride of the red Text on the Upper-Right corner that shows what Chase Plane Cam is active? Regards

I have noticed the following situation: I am in a preset camera view in the virtual cockpit and I pan around the VC i.e. to move a lever or a knob, therefore changing my point of view....at this stage I decide that I want to make a change in the turbulence settings values for that preset, so I open Chase Plane using the mouse middle button, go to Cameras-turbulence and make my adjustment...then I save the changes....what I have seen is that the view point that I had when I made the turbulence adjustments is saved as new default view point for that camera (I don't know if my explanation is clear....). Would it be possible to make the default view point for each preset came…

Hi Team, Having trouble setting and using my yoke hat switch to pan around the aircraft in external view (equivalent to Spot view). I've created a view and selected "Track Aircraft" in the settings. The camera does not move when using the hat switch, however the camera will stay locked (fixed in one position) on the aircraft as it moves and turns. If I uncheck "Track Aircraft", the camera will move with the hat switch, however now it is like it is on a tripod, and will not keep the aircraft at the center of the view. I have deleted hat switch bindings in P3D, so not sure what I'm doing wrong or if this is how it is supposed to work? Thanks for your help.

The problem I am having with panning using the hat switch is that my hat switch is assigned to Pan/Tilt. But, when you define the view with "Track Aircraft", pan/tilt does not pan the view (Lateral/UpDown "pans" the view). Track Aircraft OFF, Pan/Tilt works. Track Aircraft ON, Pan/Tilt does not work. So, we would need the ability to do Control Assignments per camera.
