EZdok EZCA + 172

[DunMac]

Hello,
I have found that by using the arrow keys exclusively for the A2A Trainer 172 walk around starting at the end and working backward around the aircraft works fine. ONLY the arrow key moving backward works for me. I didn't have to change a thing in any config. files or rearrange camera definitions. I use EZCA and TrackIR.

Cheers,
DunMac

Sorry to dig up an old topic but whilst this fix works, the external ezdok cameras still default to using internal view graphics so much of the external structure (that you would not normally see from inside) is missing in the external views. I guess switching off ezdok for the walkaround is the only solution? Reconfiguring ezdok just adds the ezdoc camera file to the bottom of the aircraft.cfg again.

OK, I have it working.....using the reverse direction < button on the Shift 8 menu.

EZDok external views working perfectly

There is so much wrong advice floating around about using the ezdok system with the walk around.
Read the section in the FAQ, make the changes to the camera definitions, reload aircraft, start in the vc, shift 8 starts the walk around function, start clicking the right arrow button on the information box.
Every other advice is forcing the user to perform the walk around not as intended. Ie backwards.
Hope this clears things up.

The FAQ doesn't give the full story and reading the thread again and again and threads outside of the forum led me up some dead ends, including mad attempts to configure all my own EZDOK walk around cameras!.

The solution was actually really simple and staring me in the face. The reverse walk around using the "<" button is the key. Changing the aircraft cfg file just messes up the external EZDOK views.

There is nothing wrong with A2A or EZDOK, just a slight clash of territory trying to make FSX great.

That's just the thing though you dont need to press the backwards button the > forwards button work as well, just dont attempt to use the EZDok or FSX key commands A and Shift A to move through the walk around cameras or you will have problems.
