That's not a feature (not even a "misfeature"), but simply a bug. This needs to be fixed, and if it can't, the menu entry will be removed before release. The current implementation works best in not-too-big YASim aircraft. In heavy/very fast aircraft, the accelerations are too big and the heading/pitch change is too strong and abrupt. JSBSim aircraft have the jitter problem on ground. (I thought about disabling ground handling for them completely.) I committed the script anyway, because the reactions on IRC were exclusively positive (with constructive criticism on details -- no bold "misfeature" comment there). But this doesn't mean it's done. I'd be happy if people could look into it and submit/commit fixes. I'm not an FDM man or physicist, nor a mathematician. But I'll try to improve it. What I'd like to get to is to have it work well on all aircraft without any configuration. This will proabaly be impossible -- we'll eventually need some parameters. But one can dream. :-) > I do like the effect during stable flight .... so , wouldn't a > simpler solution be to add a 7th view, the standard cockpit > view (same idea as the chase / helicopter view)? I though about that, too. But cycling through view modes is already a pain now. I'd change that if more people prefer that, though. > Ive had a similar effect attached to my aircraft for quite a while > now , but just movement along the Z axis..... Unfortunately, some of the aircraft that have some sort of view control already do often not work well with that mode. Where it works very well, is seafire/spitfire/hurricane/bf109/A10/OV10 (minus jitter)/pa28/pa24/j3cub/... > Thats my thoughts anyway, it would be nice to switch modes on the fly. Umm ... you can toggle it in the menu during flight already. "View->Toggle Dynamic Cockpit View" m. PS: the bo's built-in dynview only works currently when the global one is turned off. This will be fixed, of course. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
