CaptainHi 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. 😀

Chief CaptainWhen 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? 😉
First Officersomeone 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.
CaptainYer thats what i used to do i always flew in locked view i found it better
Chief CaptainOk someone break it down for me here... locked spot?

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
Chief CaptainI see... thanks. So I take it you cannot do this in FS9?
CaptainThats what i want to know i want to cos i'v seen screenshots taken at diffrent angles that just the front & side view's
First OfficerThe hat switch on my joystick does this for me, you can also do it with f1veiw (free)
Chief CaptainOk Morris, I am a little thick here... give me an example of what you mean... I thought we could take pix from all angles already?
CaptainI 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) 😂
Chief Captainok i get it... different camera POV... I think we can do that anyways... hmm... now you got me curious.

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