Camera sluggishness

We did not find a better word. This phrase describes the way your "camera", the pilots head, follows the model. A value of 0 keeps the model in the center, your camera follows very fast without any delay. The higher the value the higher delay will be. 100 means your camera is fixed, there will be no delay at all. A value of 30%-50% offers a dynamic impression as your model intends to cross your viewing field. Be careful with high values (>45%). If you are flying very close at high speed it may take some time for the camera to follow and you may not see your model for a short time.

Camera predictive
With predictive camera the camera is controlled depending on the flight direction so that runways, obstacles and other models located in the estimated flight path will show up as early as possible making it easy to avoid a collision right on time. Depending on your flying style the camera my pan quick and abrupt. For that reason the predictive camera option is not recommended for extreme 3D aerobatics. Find a value for the Camera predictive parameter that fits to your individual flying style.

Camera zoom factor
If you are flying at a high distance, it may be hard to see your aircraft. The zoom factor determines the capability of the camera to zoom-in on the aircraft so that it appears closer than it is.

Camera aperture angle
This is close to phrases from normal photo cameras. A high value (angle) means a wide viewing field, a small value corresponds to a narrow viewing field.

The following settings are applicable only if you are using the REFLEX scenery with selectable pilot position (Select scenery).

Camera altitude
Camera X-position
Camera Y-position

These 3 values define your "pilot position" or camera position on your virtual airfield. Here are the numbers but it is easier to change the value in the default screen by using the cursor keys.

Camera motion
Fixed at the pilot is what we all know from the flying field. Following the model has nothing to do with normal R/C piloting but is a lot of fun to do. Try it. It is like sitting in the chasing aircraft.

 

All values can be restored using the <Alt><0> keys.
