This is weird engine bug.
For your camera question, I just use TrackIR as head tracking. I move the head a little, and the TrackIR software amplifies the moves by the head in the sim, so that I can still see the monitor! That’s it! No complex camera business. For example, I turn the head left 15 degrees, and in the sim, it turns 90 degrees.
I can fly where I want to go without having to look where I am going for ~ 10 seconds, in moves.
I love doing this.
I live in London, UK, but I am from Switzerland.
