X-Camera v2 Tutorial for X-Plane 11 | The Basics

[@AlamarFly]

Just bought it after this incredible manual! I was using default XP Cameras with XP Realistic for almost 1 year and was struggling of lack of options after ezca v2 and v3. Now I finally discovered that this project much simpler than I thought plus it is much more comfortable than EZCA aand it is what I actually need! Thank you Q8Pilot for such a useful tutorial!

[@attanakmar334]

Covers all the details required to get a new user to start using X-Camera effectively. Instructions are clear and easy to follow including how to assign and use the joystick buttons. Great job 👋

[@portlandtwowheels1872]

Once again, thank you for this video. There are dozens of videos/tutorials online that aren't always so helpful. You get right to the point instead of rambling for 10 minutes. I appreciate that. In other news, I finally got UWXP and it's amazing! I opted to ignore ortho and/or mesh for the last several months and the few airport add-ons make the world of difference.

[@lawrencerowe3859]

Thanks for this! One of the best tutorial vids I've seen on KZbin...

[@stephensmalley99]

Q8 - Most KZbin tutorials are way TOO long, but not this one! This was concise and really well done tutorial. You delved into a plugin that has incredible depth. After spending 30 minutes, the viewer should have a good degree of competence with this plugin!! I would recommend that the viewer forward to the 4 minute mark to bypass the installation instructions. After that it is well paced tutorial goodness!

[@Q8Pilot]

Thank you for your kind words, glad this was helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@marekgunka9844]

For all, who like mouse panning like in FSX, go to Xplane keyboard settings, choose SRS ,then X-camera and then "simulates the middle mouse button being depressed" option (press space). So that you can pan around with "space" pressed and mouse moving.

[@kfzenjoyer]

Thanks for that comment. This really upset me after installing xcamera. Thank you so much!

[@Hi-mt3lp]

What a legend thank you

[@AusFlightSimmer]

I'm sure I will be watching this many times. Of course yes. Xplane behind the scenes!!! Thank you :)

[@Q8Pilot]

Consider it done shane =) and thanks for watching mate!

[@mertoya3]

6 years ago but still up to date! :) Thnx for all the precious information.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for your support 🙏

[@MarcelHuguenin]

Sure...would love to see such a series! You're creating awesome videos anyway!

[@pappybo49]

I agree, this is a very good tutorial! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’ve watched many, many of your videos, but for my needs currently, I think it is the best. Keep up the good work and remember the “behind the scenes videos. I think 🤔 that would an awesome project to follow and learn from..

[@GridironGameSim]

This was an excellent tutorial. Many tutorials like this tend to miss critical pieces of information or skip steps, or drone on. This was very thorough, but well paced.

[@Q8Pilot]

You just made my day! Thank you for your kind words and for watching the video =)

[@strontium4429]

Many thanks for taking the time to put this video together. It's very useful!!

[@emsss78]

So I finally made the move and gave X-plane 11 a try and bought X-Camera, I was totally confused as the interface is too much different than Ezdok..glad I found your video, will follow your instructions and see how it goes. Thanks Q8pilot, your videos are always great and very helpful :)

[@Capt_sal_b777]

One of the best Tutorials, I've ever seen, Thanks to Covid-19(20), Im building my Home simulator. thank you for your time .

[@tflahant]

Just purchased X-camera and was fumbling around trying to figure it out, went to KZbin and found your vid. As a subscriber of yours, I'm surprised I missed this. A++++ many thanks mate :)

[@Q8Pilot]

Glad this was helpful for you my friend. Thank you for watching! Cheers.

[@chadmaxey5001]

I think it would be great to to see the magic behind the curtain! Thank you for all the outstanding videos!

[@wxrob8740]

Very interested in that 'behind the scenes' series. Thanks for the X-Cam tutorial man!!

[@phillipbeharall6271]

As always BRILLIANT YOU help so Much with your videos I am 70yr and all I do is set my ipad next to my pc follow your videos It’s so easy for me Once again thank you kind regards

[@daveweatherall7523]

Superb tutorial, very, very helpful. Thank you so much for producing this.

[@tomwelt8222]

The best x-plane training video I've seen to-date. I'll look for more from you, or hope to see more in the future. Thanks.

[@michaelwilliamson6061]

Great tutorial, thanks so much for taking the time and effort to post. This really helps with the learning curve.

[@Q8Pilot]

Glad this was helpful for you Michael! Thank you for watching!

[@Santibailors73]

Another great video!...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 greetings from Italy

[@MatjazMirt]

Great video. I've tried xcamera once, but it was confusing (beginning with view not moving around). You explain it and show what can be done with it. Installed it again and register it. Thank you again.

[@Kishshey]

Finally. Thanks. And yes totally interested in a behind the scenes series.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for watching, consider it done!

[@ruyjo1]

Excellent tutorial, this will help a lot of people :D

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks buddy, I certainly hope that it will.

[@JoseMartinez-oc4vx]

Just excellent. Thank you very much.

[@mrfairycake4333]

Great Video my friend and very useful indeed.....yes I would like a behind the scenes series alot :)

[@The1PatSmith]

Greets from NZCH. Thank you Osama, quality, entertaining and informative as usual! Very much appreciated.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks buddy, I am most humbled really!

[@vicrobinson1366]

Very informative video and like the others have said a behind the series will be very interesting.

[@gmrobert]

Great work - I am learning so much from your instruction - well done!!

[@chesterhernandez6026]

Great video Q8Pilot. Thanks

[@videagames]

Thank so much. Your tutorial is the best!

[@timgarris3406]

Thank you kindly for producing this comprehensive tutorial to a fantastic tool for creating awesome cinematic flight simulator videos! Very well done Sir! Cheers, Tim aka FS MaNiA

[@Q8Pilot]

Thank you for taking the time to leave an encouraging comment. I appreciate it sir!

[@RD-xm4rp]

love your videos i am 2 weeks into xplane 11 and your videos have helped me so much.Please do lots more.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for your kind words and for watching the video. Glad the channel is helpful for you Rob!

[@RD-xm4rp]

been watching your video on the Boeing 757 v2 is this really a good buy for my first big passenger plane. I am only flying the cessna 172 at the moment which is i have to say a great little plane.But i have fell in love with the 757 just by wathing your video more than once i have to say.

[@reubensammichenjoyer]

Thanks for all your efforts once again, you never disappoint. I too would be interested to have a peek at what it takes to create flight sim videos. Cheers!

[@ArdiOye]

I'm using HOTAS Warthog also. So this video helped me a lot, thank you :D Subscribed!!

[@UKPete]

Brilliant thanks for all the effort in this great tutorial!!.

[@Q8Pilot]

Glad this was useful for you Peter. Thanks for watching!

[@Strazman]

Great video. As a veteran of FSX and a student pilot, I decided I needed to get back in the flight sim world after a 10-year hiatus. I just picked up Xplane 11 a couple days ago and am in the process of tackling everything this beast has to offer. I'm also trying to gobble up all the good addons and such, and I must say your videos have really been helping me over the last few days.

[@Aerotripod]

Great video, very helpful. Thank you!

[@Q8Pilot]

Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@MarcelHuguenin]

Thank you for creating this video, very helpful

[@Q8Pilot]

Glad this was helpful for your Marcel!

[@claudetabouret590]

Top demo voor de camera

[@mje01]

Very informative - excellent!

[@GameAddict457]

Great as always! I don't know if there is already a video, but there are many new comers from P3D or FSX asking about best plugins, addons, scenery... and so on. Maybe you should create a special video for them so they don't feel "overwhelm" by the possibilities and we can refer to that video when someone new ask for that kind of stuff in the forums :) You could link your other videos for those ones that want specific information about one topic or another. Just an idea. :)

[@Q8Pilot]

A great idea which I have been thinking about and probably left on the back burner for a while. Ok that's a 10-4. I will begin this as a series as well. Thanks a million for making a suggestion!

[@ecevansevans2566]

I think an xplane 11series would be great. I always strive to get my xplane working like your

[@tobiasreike2439]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial. I've used XCamera but not this much. I am looking forward to install it again in XP11 and would love to see a behind the scenes Video!

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for watching, the series is definitely on =)

[@Topofdescent55]

Alsolutely fantastic! Thanks

[@scottdalrymple261]

Thank you so much for this video and I sure would like to see a behind the scenes series on how you create videos!

[@Q8Pilot]

Most welcome Scott, glad you enjoy the channel =)

[@MyFlightTV1]

So helpful... thanks much! Btw, what airport are you filming at here? Thanks and keep up the great work!

[@sergio8011]

Would be great a behind the scenes series. Great video!!

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for watching and the series is definitely on!

[@tomwhyte]

Do I have to configure views separately for each plane?

[@Q8Pilot]

Yes

[@lagflag]

Thanks for the great video. What frustrates me, is if you are at a certain view, and you moved the view say a bit to the left, it automatically saves the new view forever and assigned it the same view ID! It happened to you at 13:24 to 13:56. You saved the first officer correctly, then changed your view to look at the GPS, only to find that you lost first officer view and became a new unwanted GPS view!!

[@hectorbonillavideos]

Awesome video for newbies like mi. Thx

[@davehaag8175]

Wow..had no idea it did all that...watching your videos is starting to get expensive...you sell me on so much stuff!!!

[@onlyforbrian2]

nice airport, what is it? Freeware? I hope.....

[@vinniehat]

Great Video! Only issue is I used your view keybinds, and it doesn't work well. It only works if I do diagonal directions.

[@nilswuopio5340]

Great tutorials and videos thank you! :)

[@Q8Pilot]

Thank you for watching my friend!

[@psour33]

Thank's a lot for your great video and your time. At first glance X-Camero looks like EZDok camera suite for FS/P3D don't you think so ?

[@cleniolelys]

Fantastic tutorial and great video my friend.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks a million Silvio =)

[@Hal_T]

Thanks!

[@alessandromuntoni5035]

Hello Q8Pilot, Your video I was of great help, even I'm starting to make videos in my channel ;) thanks

[@hamieh1]

thanks , very helpful, i purchased the full version.

[@MisAnkic]

what about free camera, the same one as C in default XP camera. Is there that option at all? If yes, is it possible to change the speed of camera movement and smoothness? Thx!

[@deltapilot4143]

Yes, do a Behind the Scenes Series!!!

[@Q8Pilot]

Consider it done =)

[@Spitfire194]

Excellent video. Thank you. What airport is this and is it add-on/payware scenery?

[@eilon.grouper]

KPUW - Pullman-Moscow Airport

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for watching buddy!

[@cb-gu7bv]

Hi new to X plane so have a few question if I may. BTW your vids have been excellent really helped me get started. Ive just downloaded X camera (imac OS) my default position when start is outside the aircraft not my normal cockpit view, and mouse does not seem to change the viewpoint. I have changed to forward 3D view in settings. thks CB

[@ola.ljungqvist1966]

Behind the scenes? Yes please :) Will it include bloopers?

[@Q8Pilot]

Consider it done!

[@amaurysuarez4681]

For whatever reason this doesn't work for me, I pressed left CTRL and Num 1 to set Capt camera, and nothing happened. Please help. Great tutoring by the way. Keep it up.

[@AirBerlin7421]

same

[@JEAVIATION]

What airport is this? Amazing video mate, helped me a lot! Thanks

[@wimvandijk9108]

Nice video, and no stutters and tearing. How much FPS did you get in X-Plane 11?

[@wimvandijk9108]

I saw the specs of your PC. That are great specs. I know understand why the views are so fluent.

[@arunramachandran9474]

Thanks a ton sir!!!

[@Q8Pilot]

Most welcome sir!

[@rolfbauer8700]

Got the hat switch sat exactly like described. The only thing that works is the down position which brings up the control panel. How do you move around in the cockpit and what do I have to do with the mouse after I pressed the coolie to another direction? Press the left/righ button and move the mouse? Sorry, but nothing works

[@YokeJoke]

Thought Jeej X-camera v2.... is it your refresher haha!

[@andrevdw747]

Hi Osamah, thanks for another great vid! Helped a lot in configuring xcamera. Just a quick question. I configured my views for the 737 correctly and are working fine however when i am flying and just use my arrow key to shift a little bit it saves this position and that is is not what i want. Can i “lock” the saved views and positions so that they won’t change anymore? ( exept of course when i use the control panel). Thanks!

[@x-planeaddicted6472]

Great Video. Everything seems easy after watching this, Well done. There is one view I tried to set up with X-Camera that would not work for me, That one was with the HUD. Do you know of a way to do this. Thanks, Cap't Kev X-Plane Addicted

[@drummerxx1]

One offtopic question: I try to figure out which key assignment I have to to use for the toe brakes. I use the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. I would be thankful for an answer.

[@errol6788]

Yes interested.

[@Maxtorym]

look great youre play it on 4k?

[@CanadianStig990]

Behind the sences ! Yes plz!

[@Q8Pilot]

Consider it done!

[@AbdulHakim-uq1nv]

Hi there , I am trying to configure my hotas joystick as yours but when assigning the second hat switch it will not allow me to edit input from x-cam , the only option it gives are : 1 do nothing 2 hat switch up 3 hat switch down 4 move view up Please help . By the way nice video

[@TheSleben]

I have the same problem with the Hotas in XP 11.01. I find X-Camera unusable at the moment

[@XPlaneAviation]

I'm not a rookie, but still a nice video for those who are new to X-Plane.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for watching the video buddy!

[@joaobettu]

In my opinion, XP doesn't need a camera plugin. But either way, great video! Cheers from Brazil.

[@Q8Pilot]

For video makers, it is a must, but for those who are only interested in flight, then it is of no use.

[@joaobettu]

Exactly.

[@geofflawrence8995]

started great then imagine my chagrin when I find tetra none of ht commands talked about for the hat switch re even available for the alpha hat switch are even available kin xp 12 Suggestions would be appreciated

[@jankin880]

thank you Osamah ....I was waiting for this ,right now I m only using X camera primitive basics ...BTW I would be interested in how to create videoos.....

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks a million Jan, consider the series on for sure!

[@tonymerlot9305]

Have you done a video on Occulus VR Xplane 11 flight?

[@Q8Pilot]

Hopefully in the near future.

[@LorenzoDiamond1]

I, with this video i create my custom wiews .many thanks. I have a problem,Also if i do an external categoty and i select external camera sometimes i can see the internal of the aircraft during smooth transition from one view to another... The second problem is that if i am on one visual and i move it without click save all, the custom view change the initial saved position.

[@andylockhart257]

Yes please on the series!

[@Q8Pilot]

That's a 10-4 Andy =)

[@manwinkler]

Despite the fact that I never get to an "SRS" to be shown, I think it is fabulous. What am I omitting that SRS does not show up on my X-Plane 11? I'd be most appreciative if someone could help.

[@gcnobl0]

Hat switch UP failed to function when set to "Moves the camera with the Mouse in a rotate/pitch fashion", same result for Left and Right. The Down brought up the Control panel just fine. I went over the process 30 times, no luck. Ended up setting it to Pan Up, Pan Left, Pan Right. So, my guess is it's my computer, which is a iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015), 4GHz Intel Core I7, with 32GB 1867MHz DDR3, AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4096 MB, and 1Gig SSD. Running macOS Sierra. My mouse for gaming is a Razer Naga. I'm using CH Products Fight Sim Yoke and Pro Pedals. Any thoughts?

[@ashmanmedia]

Actually Thank you again for this tutorial... But yes Following the HAT SWITCH assignments with my MS FORCE FEEDBACK SIDEWINDER PRO it failed to register those UP LEFT RIGHT custom settings? Is it just cause x-camera needs registration? So far Im sold! Great work.

[@bradley_bYT]

I bought it and it isnt working for me too. Old saitek joystick.

[@GavinSteiner]

Please DO do that series :D

[@theflyinggasmask]

i just want a normal mouse view. using the middle mouse button resets the view when i release, i want it to stay so i can look up at the overhead, release the view and press buttons...

[@buttermenthol1664]

I moved to another country and set that as my view. yay

[@killjoy270]

great video might llook in to getting this ! what airport is that

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for watching Brandon, the airport is Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport (KPUW).

[@TomKnudsen]

Left - Right CTRL, does not matter for setting preset views.

[@simaviation3]

How can I control with movement speed , when I want to move in any Camset with arrow key ?

[@jetraid]

Yes please do the behind camera videos.

[@Q8Pilot]

Will do for sure!

[@danishgamers8357]

What airport is that looks great

[@tomwhyte]

When I configure the same things that you do for the hatswitch it doesn’t work do you have any helpers on that problems. Thanks

[@tomwhyte]

Leo Macherla thank you so much

[@Taurcan]

Question. SRS and X-camera commands do NOT show up under my choice for commands for my Warthog Joystick. They DO show up under Keyboard choices for Key assignment. I have the latest updates for X-Plane 11 installed. Any ideas as to why they don't show up under my joystick? I have the latest version of X-Camera 2.3 and it is a different version than that which you used for your video. Have you tried 2.3? Thanks. This was a great video, but seems that there have been changes to the program?

[@Q8Pilot]

Oh yes several changes have been introduced since this video. The basic operation is the same, but new features have been added.

[@Taurcan]

Q8Pilot Thanks for the response. I received a solution to the problem. The edit button would not appear until custom setting was selected. When you press on the newly appearing edit button, it permits you to access the SRS and X-Camera mapping. This was I believe from tech support when the guy was on vacation in Portugal. Amazing dedication.

[@tonymerlot9305]

anything for xplane11 is appreciated..I'm hoping to do vfr sightseeing views of the world some day😎

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks Tony, I must say, I share your dream =)

[@xavionics2064]

Please help me: X plane crashs when I try to open the control panel. I've a C++ message that says " Run-Time Check Failure #2 - Stack around the variable 'outReg' was corrupted. "

[@Q8Pilot]

I suggest you do an update. Just run the updater and it will update all missing or corrupt files.

[@xavionics2064]

Q8Pilot I tried one time with the Microsoft visual c++ 2015 but the same happened...
