ChasePlane Support

Silly question, I have sony contorler and connected via usb to my PC and it seems to have connect properly will this work with Chase Plane ?? if yes how do i configure to use with CP? Thanks Lee

First of all what a great product!!!! That being said, I can't find the answers to the following: 1. Is thee a way to set up a "Default Template" for ..say... VC views that would then be applied to any new VC views that are created. For example I'm not fan of heavy breathing in the cockpit. The template would have Breathing turned off for all cameras created using it. I have used the cut and paste function but that is a lot of work. 2. Where are the actual key/button bindings stored? I have a binding for tilt up that is somehow attached to the trim up key on my joystick. The binding does not show on the CP controls assignment page nor on the camera bi…

Congratulations on a top class program. You can tell that the developers really care about quality and have gone that extra mile to make it easy to use. If I may push my barrow again, the one extra feature that would make it perfect for my sim projects (and ween me off EZDOK), would be to introduce some aircraft drift when in external spot/chase mode. Even just a slow slight randomised " figure" 8 x/y/z drift of the camera would add more realism to external views as it would look like a view from a real chase plane !! Once again. An excellent product, and exciting that it's still in an Alpha, and there is more to come!! Well done!

Hi all, A quick question about panning in the VC. Currently I use FSUIPC option to pan in the VC. For zooming, I have to press the wheel and rotate in and out to zoom. Can I do this with ChasePlane? I need to keep the ability to use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out (when pressing on it), and be able to rotate the dials in the VC using the wheel (not pressing on the wheel) Hopefully yes and I will be happy to give this product a go Thank you John.

Hey, I couldn't find a button assignment to cycle views. Is anything like that exists?

Hi, is there any Button to have TIR VC Walls like in Ezdok?

************Solved ************** The sim was assigning the xbox controller. I just had to delete all the xbox axis assignments in the sim. ---------------------------- I'm not sure if this has already been reported, but when I activate an XBox controller, chase plane immediately uses the Xbox right controller hat for pan and tilt, even tho it wasn't assigned. None of the xbox buttons or axis have been assigned, yet ChasePlane behaves as tho the tilt and pan functions HAVE been assigned. I am using the experimental version, but I think it also happens in the main alpha.

As I usually fly Airbus, Boeing, Cessna, Piper etc, and as I use a joystick for the airbus and those types that feature a stick in RW, and I use a control yoke for Boeings and the types that have a yoke in RW, it would be very convenient if the CP 'preferences' could be saved along with the aircraft. This way, all the settings for view changing by hat switch could be different for aircraft flown with a yoke vs. the ones flown with a joystick. The tab "Aircraft" is still disabled within CP - what functions will be implemented under this tab?

I'm loving ChasePlane so far and in my view, totally blowing away the competition at alpha, but I have one suggestion. Would it be possible to add the ability of assigning a hotkey to a user defined default view. In ezdok, I could define my F1 key to my pilot position, instead of cycling through all my preset views. Another possibility would be the option of assigning a hotkey to any of the views. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Went to the FSFX website, clicked on the "Join the Alpha" button and nothing happened.

Will chaseplane have aircraft drift in external view (where the plane or camera position moves about slightly as tho you were really flying alongside the aircraft in a "chaseplane". I know EZDOK1 does it as well as DCS. The camera itself can move rather than the aircraft to simulate the effect.

Hi, how can I configure the touchdown Effect?

With turbulence effects (ground, engine, air/wind), is only the aircraft vibrating/moving or is the environment scenery/horizon also affected? That is, is the viewers eye also affected so that both the airplane and the external view vibrates? For example, on ground roll, I would expect a certain amount of vibration to the airframe and also a certain amount of vibration to the external horizon. How do you control how much effect is applied to the aircraft and how much effect is applied to the environment? Thanks

hi i am having the issue described in the title: if I don't touch the mouse for a few minutes and I am in a virtual cockpit preset i.e.the captain view, the view changes spontaneously into an external view. I have experienced this on the PMDG T7, P3D V3.4....first installation of Chase Plane as V 0.1.94....no other camera software installed on the system and a preset series I created for the T7. Is it a bug or am I missing something obvious ? Thanks Ezio

Hello guys, im a FSX SE user and chase plane has been very cool so far, I have a question, after finding a good deal im buying a new pc tomorrow and I would like to know since I made over 8 aircrafts already, how or whats the procedure to save my presets of chase? I don't want to do all of them again lol thanks for any help.

My first issue with CP - probably the most well-written/designed piece of FS add-on I've ever tried, well done to Kevin and all the team. In external views with the aircraft on the ground I'm getting a shaking of all scenery - terminal buildings, airbridges, ground etc. This stops when I turn the engines off. I've tried turning down all the turbulence settings for a particular external view (aircraft), but the shaking remains. Mildly irritating but also increases shimmering of textures. Any ideas? Andy

There seems to be times when ChasePlane won't start. The splash screen comes up, disappears, and that's all that happens. If I wait some period of time and try again, usually an update downloads and things work again. Is this happening because you are putting up updates? I though there were plans to implement something that would allow us to run if your servers are down? What happened to that plan? I haven't heard it mentioned much lately. I love the product, but its frustrating trying to start the sim and having to wait because ChasePlane won't run.

I am observing an annoying problem with flickering textures at Aerosoft LIMC (MIlan Malpensa) airport, this occurs with chaseplane views only at the apron area (taxiways/rwys seem ok). This problem has been already reported once in the Aerosoft forum but I am not too confident that they will take care of it (usually they refuse to take casre of problems that occur only with any 3rd party add on like CHPL or EZCA). Is there anything that can be done by Chaseplane dev. team or at least elaborate on that and have some kind of explanation? There is no actual display setting to tweak for that as I already work with high AA settings (both in P3d and Nvidia insp. profile).

Hi guys, I just purchased ChasePlane today and am really enjoying the program so I'm very excited to see how it matures. I am getting the following errors when starting up the app: The was an issue with your Cameras.cfg file Unable to check your camera references in FSX (error: cfgnotfound) I click on the green check mark then get the following error: ChasePlane was unable to locate the fsx.cfg file for FSX. Make sure you run the simulator at least once before launching ChasePlane. ChasePlane needs to make some modifications in this file in order to work properly. I again click on the green check mark and then ChasePlane opens up and appears …

I like the new smoothing in and out of this mode. How about going a step further and add a percentage slider. 0 will be no turbulence on mouse movement, 0.5 will set all turbulence effects to half the current settings and 1 will deactivate the mode.

Hi at the beginning ChasePlane it was very easy set up camera views, all camera controls worked smoothly and quickly . Now, when every day CP progressing is increasingly difficult set up cameras.It goes so so slowly,that it is almost impossible. Camera controls setting doesn`t react with mouse and when once reacts, can not be stopping. And thats it - adjust one camera view donkey's years. And finally, if you want to save it, It also fails, because the whole ChasePlane no longer react. Why is that CP changed very slow?

Hi guys, On the experimental 0.1.94. 1) If one goes to spot view (right click > outside > Spot) you cannot get back into the VC anymore by using joystick commands 2) Spot view panning is back to just on the horizonal, no more 3d panning using hte hat switch General feedback * I am constantly having to import my Ezdok presets as they don't seem to copy over from other chase plane and it's like each livery is unique not aircraft type * When we save our mouse/keyboard sensitivity, could this be saved to a master file, so I don't have to keep doing it for every flight? * Could we use the S, A (shift a , Shift S) functions to cycle views…

Only used Chaseplane for a few days. Nice! I have one question as a beginner. Is it Only used Chaseplane for a few days.Nice! I have one question as a beginner Is it possible to use the mouse in the same way as before installing ChasePlane. Too look around by pressing space and moving the mouse and zoom with the mouseweel. Or is the only way to use the hat at my CH joystick. If so how can I zoom. /Thomas

I must say I'm very impressed with the movement of the cockpit with the wind turbulence set slightly higher than default, adds just that something to the overall sim experience, however when I moved the mouse to try out the Turbulence Pause on Mouse Movement feature the turbulence didn't pause, now I don't know if this feature is implemented yet or there is a bug but thought I'd let you know .I was using the Aerosoft A320 at the time. Thanks Dale

Even though this option is 'on'. Was OK prior to this alpha. Using p3D Thanks Clive Update on this......it's in the task manager as running, but does not response until you 'double click' the icon again
