Head movement on aircrafts?

What you are referring to is 'head latency'.

The Mudry Cap like products from RealAir and a few others have the movement in the model, so when you pull on the stick the aircraft is animated to actually move in a certain direction, not just limited to control surfaces. Clever isn't it?

Active Camera from Anticyclone mimics this and can be used in any VC by actually adjusting the view position. It's probably more realistic because the scenery will be moving as well.

I really have no clue what you just said 🙂

But my idea was to simply put the same head movement that the Mudry has in other if not all aircrafts.

I have products from real air and they don't have this head movement like the Mudry does, some have better dynamics than others, but still no head movement.

I just thought it would be kind of nice to have that same feeling adjusted to the rest of aircrafts.

OK I'll simplify.

Active Camera simulates g-forces making your virtual head move. It is for use in any virtual cockpit.

Better?

Yea 🙂

I was thinking something that would be free, I already knew about active camera, but again, it costs money. I thought someone could just take the same effects that come with that Mudry and apply them on any other aircraft. I guess no one can really do that!!

thanks for the info tho 😀

Look at it this way:

It's not simply a case of adding an effect and then editing the .cfg file. Look at your default b737_400 as an example.
As you probably know, you can pretty much edit anything in that folder with the exception of the .air file and the .mdl file (inside the 'model' folder).
In order to edit either of those two, you need the appropriate utility/program and we mere mortals are not encouraged to do this.
The 'Head-Movement' you're inquiring about is part of the .mdl file.

NOTE: Don't confuse the .mdl file with the model.cfg file.
