Hey All, here is an interesting video. What I would like to know is: what is he using to move around the cockpit so smoothly?
It's certainly not headtracking of any kind, you'd get a stiff neck doing the stuff he is doing.


Any Idea? Looks like a great way to move around the VC (which is almost required in the PMDG NGX).

Very cool. I think he's using the mouse. What convinces me is how the mouse shows up everytime he stops moving. To use the mouse, just hold the spacebar down and you can pan and zoom.

I wonder what GPU he has there...


Edit: I take it back. It's not the mouse.

I would say keyboard with a reduced speed of movement.

Watch how each change in direction is linear. He may call this a rough video in his text, but he's one of those guys that is so damned good with camera control even when they slap together something real quick.

That is just awesomeness!

EDIT: I guess this means we NEED to buy headtracking to be able to look around the 3D cockpit like this. At least this is how I'm going to justify the expense. :D

This plane is brand new, they could have let the cleaning lady get rid of all those fingerprints though.


EDIT SOME MORE: It has a HUD? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ8ScD0e ... re=related

I bought the Track IR-5 and it would do that, it would take some setting up. :)
