You're right on the views, a combination of keypress to switch views and hat
on the Saitek yoke to pan.
Had I have spent more time on the video I could have eliminated the
switching by effectively outputting the whole circuit as seen from each view
then extracting clips from these using Any Video Converter before stitching
them together again to produce the final result. As it was I used a single
rendered video which is why you get the 'in flight' camera switching and
panning.
I've now downloaded X-mouse but yet to install/try/use it. Thanks for the
heads up though.

Just done a quick flight
X-mouse uses the scroll to zoom.
and NSEW for Pan / Tilt

I've never used fraps, but this looks pretty good Paul especially for
shockwave.
The Clipgate circuit is also a showcase for Gerry, great surrounding 3D
scenery.
It looks like you are switching views by key press or hat Paul. Is this the
case?
One of my essential add-ons is X-mouse from highrez, I lost it for a while
when I transferred the PMDG JS41 over to the other machine.
It was supplied with a Logitech cordless mouse., which has 9 buttons and 2
scroll wheels.
Delighted to get it back now having worked out the problems with mouse
software.
X-mouse allows you to click the centre button (or scroll wheel) to turn it
on, mouse forward and backward zooms and side to side pans the views, then
centre click off.
Indispensable particularly in Virtual Cockpit 3D mode.

Installed this on my PC and created a video of me doing a circuit at Gerry's
Clipgate farm in FSX.
The original video was some 600Mb in size but I've conveted it to SWF format
at posted it on my site.
OK so there's some loss of quality in the conversion but it's still
reasonable given the new file is a mere 24mb
