FS randomly keeps changing my views (cockpit, VC, Spot, etc)

[Shannon Mason 810297]

This began to happen after I installed FSInn so I'm not sure if this is a FSInn issue or not and its driving me madly crazy. I couldn't find a forum that talks about MSFS support only, so I would presume this is it.

 

If it is indeed FSInn then how do I stop it from doing this? I checked my yoke/pedals to see if it was causing the problem, and I can't seem to be able to locate the problem via my hardware yoke/pedals.

Hi, Shannon. FSInn’s installation doesn’t modify any of Flight Simulator files. It will only load if the fscopilot.dll is in flight simulator’s modules directory. So if you temporary remove the fscopilot.dll file from the modules directory or run the FSCopilot/FSInn uninstall modules to verify if it’s FSInn related.

 

You might also systematically remove any other addon’s that might be a possible culprit. You might also try unplugging your yoke/pedals and see that stops the switching.

well I suppose I could temporarily relocate the fscopilot.dll but it didn't happen until FSInn/Copilot was installed.

 

yeah I could also unplug the hardware as well and see if that changes anything

Well unplugging the USB yoke solved the problem AFAIK for now. The pedal remains unplugged, will plug it in later. I'm just catching up on screenshots.

You'll probably have to study your yoke manual or communicate with their tech support to find out which buttons you have mapped for key strokes and remove the one that's conflicting with the FS views key, or reconfigure the FS' view key.

As I said before, this wasn't an issue until I installed FSInn and unplugging/replugging fixed it (at least the yoke, haven't tried the pedals yet). Hopefully this will not be a problem anymore now.

Shannon. Even thought I understand that you think that installing FSInn has something to do with what you’re describing, it doesn’t and didn’t. I just gave you a test to confirm it.

 

My subsequent message was to help you with your issue as a courtesy which is unrelated to FSInn.

I have seen posts in the past regarding the Saitek Yoke causing this very issue. A pilot in our VA had to return his defective Saitek yoke for a new one and the problem was solved.

Indeed this is Seitek, hopefully I don't have this problem, thanks for the heads up.

 

This thread actually belongs in hardware now...
