Hi i uninstalled my FSX the other day and i thought before i reinstalled it il give FS9 another go well to be honest i might stay with FS9 and plus i got a better computer to play FSX with and now my FS9 works even better that i last used due to my new computer i ahve everything on 100% 😂

But anyway now down to business when you go on the SPOT view can you also do like what you can in FSX do a lock view cos thats always my best view and i dont like useing spot.

Thanks for reading. 😀

When you first posted your first screenshots, no offence, they weren't too good. I thought FS9 would've been better for you. But since you've upgraded your computer, why not keep both? 😉

someone showed me last year how to lock spot on fs9 but i forget how. i just remember that it was different than fsx and i didn't like it.
i suppose everyone will gag when i say it but i fly from locked spot in fsx most of the time because i can see more.

In FSX when you go onto SPOT view you can click A it will then witch to LOCK VIEW so you when you press SHIFT and then a arrow it will move anywhere you want around the plane.

Much better than just 4 turn's around the plane

The hat switch on my joystick does this for me, you can also do it with f1veiw (free)

I dont know its just when playing FS9 you click S to go to your SPOT view and you can only go round the plane 4 times the sides and front & back.

But i have seen youtube videos and videos of fs9 players flying the plane at like a half way from the front and side so like say he was heading north the view he was at was S/W and itr was staying there still

but even im getting confused now (im like that) 😂

Most of those people use fraps, a program for capturing video.
