Mistwalker 3 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 .....If indeed there is one at all? What I mean is a cam or addon that allows us to walk around an airfield / airport. Before my enforced absence from FSX a year ago, I used a free camera add on that was supposed to be for just this purpose. I forgot what it was called or where I got it from but I didn't find it very useful anyway. It was worked basically as an invisible aircraft so you weren't really walking but taxiing around, which resulted in some quite frustrating 'walking' ordeals. It seems such a shame that some of the highly detailed airfields and airports can't be truly explored because of the lack of a way to simply walk around. Link to post Share on other sites
Quickmarch 488 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 I think the one you're referring to was made by Orbx. It was called "Bob". See fullterrain.com/freeware.html Link to post Share on other sites
Mistwalker 3 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Yes! That's the one. Thanks for the reminder. Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I payware is an option there's always the EzDok camera addon available from Flight 1 In addition to letting you set up your own internal and external cameras on every aircraft in your hangar you can also define "World" Cameras that you can move around... I use it exclusivly with FSX instead of the default views... Take a look at the video in this topic to get a feel for what you can do with it.... I also think that the Opus weather engine includes an addon camera module, but I don't know if it includes a "Walkabout" function since I don't use it myself... Link to post Share on other sites
Mistwalker 3 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Now that's an impressive app. Thanks for the tip, Stu. That's just gone on my "To get" list. I especially like the shaking cockpit view. Adds a whole new level of realism. Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Indeed it does... It's a bit of a chore to set up cameras for new planes thought.. just so you know... The installer comes with profiles for all the default planes, but any add-ons you will need to configure on your own (or search the internet for profiles shared by others to import).

Mistwalker 3 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yeah I was reading about that on the site for the app but I think it'll be worth it. Link to post Share on other sites
