HOW TO USE EZDOC CAMERA SYSTEM FOR FSX

[@57Jimmy]

You make so much easier to set up rather than me reading and drawing a "Huh?" blank look and auguring in! I really appreciate your efforts and dedication to helping us older and "what does this button do?" fly by trial pilots! Great big like!! :)

[@PaulSharp360]

Thank you for the video. I saw your FS Crew video yesterday, then purchased Ezdok, spent 5 hours trying to get exdok to work. Found your video on you tube, within 4 minutes bingo... thanks again

[@Letsgowalkingwithsimon]

Since watching your channel I've been trying to incorporate more into my sim-world as you have been using. Another great vid and product..

[@simonskyfall7558]

Great reference video as i only had ezdok half set up all this time. Your a huge asset to the flight sim community froggle thanks.

[@Maxi67]

I've been thinking of getting EZDOC for a while now. Thanks for posting these clear instructions.

[@surfshop7552]

IMO best explanation so far. Very concise and to the point, the way it should be done. You should do an advanced EZdok vid.

[@MoisesSimana]

I finally decided to get EZDOK and using it on the PMDG 737NGX. This video was very helpful. thank you.

[@7anthillmob]

I've been flight simming since the green screen days and have recently purchased the PMDG737NGX. Found your uploads by mistake but so pleased that I did. Love the quality of the video, the information given and a nice touch of humour. Great job, keep it up. Subscribed.

[@combustercan]

Great video. Whenever i tried to set it up, all i got was a headache. Thanks so much for taking the time to show us how it's done. Great stuff.

[@LIKEbutterMagazine]

EZDOK is absolutely the best addon for FSX. I feel like I can finally learn how to fly the planes without the hassle of moving around the cockpit with clunky controls. It aldso has the added bonus of serving as a wonderful filming and photography tool. Absolutely brilliant. Unfortunatley it took me a while to get past the bug of creating a new camera with addon planes (no shake once binded to key), but once I figured out I could import an existing camera, then clone it, the problem was solved.

[@martinamakosch2746]

I think maybe the best (in form of simple) explaining of EZ DOK. Thanks a lot! For sure, with this video you made my descision to buy!

[@Shevchenkocss]

+Martina Makosch Gonna buy it too !

[@Nirvanaphuket]

Again, a genuine "FROOGLE". Concise information embedded in casual format! Thanks and cheers. Hoping for more to come!

[@weswheel4834]

Froogle. Thank you, that video was fantastic. I've had EZDOK for ages and since getting TrackIR I'd been using that instead of EZDOK. This was a great video on how I can use them together to get the views I want (PIC, radio panel, external views etc.). I'd never really got either add-on to do quite what I wanted in the past. Thanks again.

[@frooglesim]

You're welcome. It's a pretty powerful combination when you get it all working together properly.

[@richarddalby8642]

Froogle we need to fly a route!! Thank you mate you have tought me so much ive watched every one of your vids fantastic teacher many thanks ;)

[@p165711]

This made complete sense for me as I deny myself the pleasure of reading manuals. Thank-you

[@AaronAndino]

Very nice piece of software. After hearing you mention it today at FlightSimCon, I'm definitely gonna pick this one up.

[@MirceaA318]

thanks for sharing. this is the most clear tutorial I've seen

[@paulofranca77]

Thanks for this tutorial, after a while trying, this video finaly covered the main aspects in a effective way, all set to fly now.

[@Belphegoresque]

Great video, I love the way you explain things, very clearer and straight to the point. Thanks for taking the time to help people.

[@Azorean77]

Thanks to this video now I know how to use the Ezdoc camera,excelent video in how to use this add on,this made it all easy,thanks.

[@peejay1943]

Phew!! A bit too quick for me. I have been perplexed by EZDOK for a few years and still haven't cracked it. |I'll need to run this five times to keep up with you. But a great clear speaking voice. Thanks.

[@yorkshirejack4989]

Just brilliant. Made setup so much easier. Well done.

[@jeffdeutsch]

That was the simplest explanation I've seen. Thanks!

[@benigma56]

Hi Froogle, This is the best vidio on Ezdok I have ever seen...it has helped me to configure my PMDG 737-800....fantasic..thank`s Regard`s Brian.

[@wuliangye]

AMAZING video... A million thanks froogle from Jordan!!! Big fan of your work...

[@Sumbamotor1]

Thanks a Million Excellent Infomercial. My Eyes were Open and The Dummy has Awaken. You Make It Look So Easy and User Friendly. Thanks Again..Must be exhausting for You...But Keep Up The Good News/Work....

[@BollocksUtwat]

Froogle, master of tutorials.

[@frooglesim]

Thanks Mark, glad you found the videos useful.

[@GilbertoFreitasMendes]

Very nice video. I´m now practice this cam setup in my FSX now. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Brasil. Gilberto Mendes,

[@frooglesim]

+Gilberto Freitas Good luck!

[@RedEyeAviation]

thank you froogle because there were many other unhelpful videos out there

[@biggy5567]

Great video, extremely informative, and gives us a very good idea of how to use it, and what the features are. I loved your wingtip view!

[@frooglesim]

+biggy5567 Thanks- glad you found it useful

[@DanyNBA]

Yea after about 2 hours i managed to get it running perfectly thanks a lot ! and its really one of the best add-ons

[@63256325N]

I do like all your videos. they are really quite helpful. Thank you. I just picked up EZCA and am wondering how you can float around in the cockpit as smoothly as you do in the 3D look as you did in the beginning of this video. I went through all the documentation and didn't really find any good explanation, unless I missed something. I'm going to go over the manual again and check. Again, thanks for all you hard work.

[@geardownandlocked]

Brilliant instructional video - thanks Froogle!

[@blackhoundSSC]

Great vid, clearly explained. Everything went with examples. Thank you, Sir!

[@dancinginthedark85]

Such a thorough and yet easy to understand tutorial... Cannot thank you enough! Just one question, how do I get the standard tower views? I use them a lot and can't seem to figure out how to get them back since purchasing and setting up EZdoc.

[@wildone106]

I've tried several times before to do it (and your tutorial is EXCELLENT btw) so maybe Im doing something wrong, but it shouldn't be this hard. Im used to learning more complicated applications than this, and even the DCS sims dont have a dedicated camera app like this but can still get by with simple short cut keys for a free camera, offset camera to the plane ect With this, I always end up with a camera in the middle of the jet and it not saving what I have done. I'll keep tryin..thx!

[@alessandro1701X]

Thank's for your fantastic tutorials you drive me in to deep simulation.Great job!!!!Go on man :)

[@leFergid]

what a brilliant product. Does it work in other simulations or just in fltsim?

[@xFastScorpio]

I can't move around with the mouse don't know why..When I press the middle button I hear the sound but can't move..and if I try to press space and move around I can look around but it set itself back.so I can't set my views

[@frooglesim]

EZDOK does not automatically configure your views. Running the config will often set them up, but not always. It is more to tell EZDOK that you have a new aircraft it should recognize. It's then up to you to create your views as I walk you through doing in this video.

[@karank88]

Just came across your video and it sounds far easier than having to read a bunch of manuals that leads to confusion. I've finally picked up on EZDOK, followed your instructions on unbinding keys, etc. Page up/down works perfectly but every time I try to focus on a particular panel, the view centers me again to the pilot view. Any insights? Thanks in advance!

[@a.maskil9073]

At 10:31 it looks like some massive plane out of a movie, the shadow, (which is actually a river), makes it so much better, damn that's awesome.

[@Huddison]

Thank you so much! This makes EZdok easy to set up.

[@frooglesim]

Make sure you are pressing number 2 on the keypad on your computer, not the row of numbers above the letter keys. Make sure that Num Lock is turned on. Beyond that, consult the support forums.

[@frooglesim]

When setting up the cameras, click on the PtP button for each camera. This makes them "Point to Point" cameras that will animate when changed.

[@fsuksim]

Great video Froogle....are there any conflicts with A2A's Accufeel turbulence camera settings or Opus FSX camera settings. I assume, you need to use either one or the other (EZdok or OPusFSX)?

[@mansanraps]

Thank you very much, this was the best one I have ever seen.

[@7700Purplexity]

I thought I knew EZCA, but I didn't. Great video. Now ... I have yet to figure out World View, and I'm guessing that's how everyone gets those great video scenes. Any chance of a tiny video on World View?

[@badenbr1]

Hi Pete will you be doing any more tutorials for Ezdoc that cover world cameras???

[@frooglesim]

Thank you sir. Guess what!? The World views are the one part of the app I struggle with. I'll have to dig in and see what can be done.

[@frooglesim]

I don't recall the specific version. I currently run whatever version is current from EZDok.

[@leFergid]

what a brilliant product :)... does it work with other simulations an all or just with fltsim?

[@TheAcePilot101]

Awesome tutorial! Thanks a lot. Can't wait to get my sim working like this...

[@63256325N]

How cool is that! Although it looks a bit involved and complicated but do-able.

[@SimPilotSky]

Hey its just a cool addon. Could you tell me how we can look from the beginning of the runway? Looking to flying airplanes overhead? Please tell me I ve liked it. Please send me a message back

[@Physics70]

Hi Froogle. great tutorial. May I ask what program you are using to record your computer screen and your voice while flying simultaneously? If is FRAPS? If so, how do you do it without the dramatic drop in frame rates?

[@freddielaker2]

I needed to see something like this vid to make my mind up on using it, so I'll give it a go, one question though, if you re assign number pad keys, which do you use for reverse thrust on landing if 3 can't be used?

[@ThulfaqarAbdulla]

Amazing Man well explained hope you pst some advance level tutorials sir

[@ΒασίληςΜπέσιος-ψ5β]

hello..great vid,very helpfull..i was wandering though, how can i cycle through the ezca cameras that i created and not through the default cams?

[@hesynergy]

Loverly... I learned a good bit, even having EZDOK's EZCA for a while now...but you forgot to tell us to SAVE!

[@GordyCOD]

Great video Sir it helped me out a lot. One thing though I can not get the camera resonance to work on my wing tip view? Any ideas

[@frooglesim]

Now for your problem, there are things you need to do yourself, first, download the latest version of ezdok - the one you have is too old. Next check the cameras are in the active rotation as I said in a previous comment to you. Next check its running by opening up the studio and clicking a camera to see if the view moves. Finally if all that gets you nowhere please google ezdok support forums, and head over to there to ask the developers themselves to help you.

[@InFlightSim1]

Froogle in this tutorial you showed the Cockpit and the Aircraft views, but do you have some problems with world camera? When I use it it appears in the middle of the ocean and when I want to set up my World Camera views the scenery starts to "float"

[@matthiaskips2669]

do you know how you can activate the button "active" next to connected? great vid

[@Flight231]

Cheers. I have them on my extensive wishlist! Because EZDock has the aircraft dynamic effects built in, I was wondering if Accufeel was worth buying?

[@Flight231]

Would you use Accu Feel together with EZDOC? Which products' dynamic effects would you rate higher? Also, if you select "float" in aircraft menu, can you float around outside the aircraft and in the viscinity?

[@coolelbow123]

Helped me loads , I have subbed you and all your videos are brilliant , keep the good videos up :)

[@DanyNBA]

So i bought it anyways and i absolutely love it, i dont know how i did to play without it before :/ its an amazing add-on well worth the price, the only problem i have with it is i cant seem to switch between the views unless i have them programmed with a button, i tried going in the EZDOK options and put "A" & "S" to switch between them but it actually switches between the old ones. so i am wondering is there a way to switch between custom views without assigning a button ? thanks in advance

[@frooglesim]

Aircraft cameras are external cameras locked to the aircraft's current position. They are great for setting up view cameras while you fly. The world cameras are free form and can be placed anywhere, good for cinematic flyby's etc. I don't have much luck with them personally

[@alexanderfyhn]

How do you move your camera positions up and down in the category-lists? Thanks in advance.

[@Jammeraz1955]

Can you set some of the aircraft external views to joystick or keyboard buttons?

[@Flight231]

Clear, concise tutorial. I was waiting for EZdock v2, since even the patch is 2 years old!But may go ahead and get v1.15 and patch it to v1.17. I assume thats your version in the vid? Thanks again for the tutorial.

[@RastaPilot737]

Hi Froogle! How do I walk around the aircraft while on the ground???

[@PeteV80]

Thank you for these. How do I disable the pan function of the hats though, so I can assign EZOK view positions by hat degrees? It seems to pan even if I disable it in FSX.

[@frooglesim]

If you put FSX into windowed mode you can just drag the window borders to resize it just like any other application.

[@MauricioChavez]

Hello Froogle Is it possible assign a key for each view? I mean for example assign number 5 to Pilot view number 6 to overhead, number 7 to FMC and so on, I don't want to go through all views :D Thanks and hope you can answer Regards

[@falhumas8076]

I like the scenary below the plan....

[@FSXFaulder]

@7700Purplexity to put it simply you just need to move the aircraft to where you want the view (slew mode helps), right click and add the view then restart fsx and you have a movable view there :)

[@cihangvrcin]

Very Helpful man thank u.. But I have a problem about it.. I cant move or rotate the ezdok cam when enabled by mouse or numpad..

[@naterisawesome1]

in one of your PMDG NGX videos you had a camera angel where it looked as if you were walking into the cockpit, what was that called?

[@megaavio7326]

Can you do a video where you set up an locked canera at the beginning of the runway "spotting view" so that planes fly above you and you see the landing from behind...?

[@EasyOhh]

I do have a slight dilemma. I do have TrackIR installed, and EZCA, but it does not give me the TIR option in the EZCA editor. I've edited the two files it asks you to in the user guide, and I've unchecked "true view" or "true point" (I forgot which one it is) in the TrackIR camera settings. Is there something I'm missing...?

[@danb3904]

I have watched a few of your videos now, and they have been both useful and interesting, thanks! Out of interest, what zoom do you use for ezdok in pmdg 777 and airbus extended x?

[@frooglesim]

The zoom inside the aircraft in all my aircraft is 0.7.

[@frooglesim]

You can bind joystick hats to camera movement if you wish.

[@faxelsson89]

How do you get FSX in a window like that and not the hole screen? Great video btw

[@Prochillydog]

Thank you, I have fixed the downloaded planes problem and the PTP, but, when i press a & s to "switch views" in ezdok nothing happens. I can manually click views in the studio and it will "float", but when i click a & s nothing happens.

[@morbode]

Oh Gawd. You should do a start-up and take off video for this aircraft.

[@frooglesim]

I use Fraps for video and sound, Audacity for my voice. Fraps is set to dump out to two SSD's in Raid 0 to reduce the frame rate hit.

[@wainerkorven]

Thank you so much! Finally my EZdok settings are great!

[@SpearDusk]

do the normal view the plane comes with work? Like pressing "A" etc..

[@robincagan462]

Thanks man! This video really helped :)

[@InFlightSim1]

Hey Froogle do you have problems with the world category? Because when I select it it appears in the middle of the ocean, and when I return to the VC it seems that all the scenery is flooded. If this happens to you what do you do to solve this?

[@frooglesim]

Edit mode is number pad 2. If that's not working then make sure num lock is on. If that doesn't work then you may have rebound the key. If that doesn't work I would reach out to EzDok's technical support.

[@NicholasLeung_nktleung]

Does this work with all planes, including addons? Please answer. And do I just create new views for each then in would involve all the features including head movement?

[@brandonpromeneur7312]

Hey froogle, I wanted to know the difference between the EzDok Camera and the EzDok Walk Camera ?

[@PaddlepedalKB]

Thanks froogle your a legend. Will give ez another go now :)

[@vpwebsvc]

I'm a TrackIR user and I'm gathering that you would recommend Ezdoc with TrackIR as a rule of thumb. However, I'm curious as to its additional advantages if one had a robust flight console (i.e. Elite or PFC) with numerous hardware controls along with a full avionics panel. Would it still be recommended despite what I presume would be the additional memory that Ezdoc would take up?

[@frooglesim]

Im getting there slowly. Notice how subdued the narration is in the latest Airbus vid.

[@Ramkitheone]

I have recently bought EZDok and installed in on FSX SE. I have upgraded into 1.18.5. I get it on the add-on ok.. but when i can only set it to the pilot view and even if i try to look around it defaults back to captain position. I am using just the mouse and an XBOX joystick...
