That's only for views, which set the damping values. At the moment it's only used for "Chase View". > I wasn't looking at any NASAL code. Is the NASAL code enabled > by default?

Dynamic View assumes that you look out the window, and it would be stupid not to look left when you fly a left turn. You can either do it via joystick hat or mouse, or have it done automatically. But, of course, when you are fixating the panel, there's no point in getting the view forced left in a left turn. Of course, in that case the brain would stabilize the view on the panel. It would be hard to make dynamic view recognize what you really want. You have to tell it. That's why it's configurable and off by default. > Finally, the position you move the controls isn't necessarily the > direction the plane will move.

Patches to improve either mode are welcomed. :-) > Forces give a more realistic head movement, [...] Yes, but dynamic view isn't for that. "headshakers" are. And I would combine that if we could agree on reasonable headshaking, which to the day we couldn't. I'd be glad if not every single aircraft would have to re-invent that wheel. m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
