Locking the background from Rotating.

[josephr]

Hello everyone,

I have the Reflex XTR sim and for 2 years have found it to be a good Sim.

I have recently started running the Sim using my large Screen Data Projector. In most situations it workes very well and I enjoy the feel that I am at the flying field with this configuration, however one aspect of how the Sim works is a bit off putting.

At the moment the model basically always remains in the middle of the screen and the background rotates. This gives a very confusing view to the pilot as you do fly off to the right or left of where you are standing when flying at the field.

Is there a way to lock the field/background from rotating so that you can fly the model to the edge of the field/screen. If you go past the edge of the screen, then the background should rotate. This would give a very good experience to the pilot and be a good representation of what really happens when you are at your field.

Please let me know if there is a configuration setting I can make to my sim or you have any ideas.

Thank you for your help. :)

Maybe comes close to what you mean:

Go to the "Simulation parameters" (F6), "Camera" tab.

When you set "Camera sluggishness" to a higher value (default 50%) the model should fly more ahead of the camera focus. (Would be interesting to try 100%; I never did so far.)

You might as well set "Camera zoom factor" to zero (default 0.005) to keep the background wide also when the model is far away.

Finally, "Camera aperture angle" (default 80 degrees) would modify your view from a "normal lens" to a "tele lens" or "wideangle lens" impression.

Anyway, you have to experiment.
