Click View....Options and untick the "gradual transition" box.

Then the view from the rear of the plane will stay focused on the rear of the plane.


The main contributer of this forum is Tom Goodrick. It would be less confusing if you changed you screen name to include some additional info. Like your last name or Tom (not Goodrick).

Thanks for joining the forum.

One thing Bill forgot is you must select "Roll" mode rather than fixed mode. This will give you a good view from behind the aircraft while you do various maneuvers. I tried this with the Flight Design aircraft, one of the new Light Sport Aircraft - "LSA" - and it was fun to fly. Of course, you have to make a regular takeoff from inside the airplane where you can see the airspeed indicator. Also, lack of an airspeed indicator will get you into trouble eventually as you make the airplane do maneuvers. But it is fun.

Sorry I did not answer sooner. I have had trouble getting on this Forum since they cranked up the frequency of ads.

You can just add your last initial to your name to avoid confusion unless it is "G" like mine. But people should not confuse you with me as I always use my full name.

One thing I might add. If you hit "Shift" "Z" you can watch your airspeed and altitude while flying in the spot view mode.
