FlyInside, X-Plane, and View changing?

Postby jimh20 » Tue Jul 25, 2017 7:41 am

Hi,
Following a struggle, I have now mapped my controller buttons to commands within X-Plane. I've checked that they all function as expected while flying XP on my monitors.
For the first time I've been able to explore the X-Plane world properly in my Rift, all buttons working properly, with the exception of those allocated to view changing - Up-Down-Forward-Back-Left-Right.
I can change my position with key presses, but the mapped buttons do nothing while in the Rift.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Regards, Jim

Everyone will be experiencing the same issue, as I understand that there were insurmountable problems with allowing the user to change the viewpoint on external views. As it is at present, you can zoom in and back out again, but cannot pan.

Whether this will change in the future will probably be as much down to Laminar as it will be to the FI devs.

Thanks for clearing that up. Since I can see enough of the keyboard, I can settle myself in the cockpit before starting a flight, and it does free up those six buttons for something else.

Cheers, Jim
