Tweaks to Camera Shake

  • These are tweaks to ZK Aviation 's mod aircraft that I've been using on my Windows PC.

    If you do not have these mods, you are still able to change the camera shake multipliers yourself. (I think)

    In the 'aircraft' folder, search for an aircraft you want to tweak. For instance, the f18 hornet. Open the 'f18' folder (Aerofly FS 4>aircraft>f18) Inside of the 'f18' folder, search "tmd" you will need to look for "f18.tmd" Open this file with 'notepad', or 'notepad ++' I recommend getting notepad++ because it will save your changes across all files of that sort. In that file, you will see camera settings. Here is what I have personally changed. (Change only the bolded values)

    If you have ZK Aviation 's Mods, and want to try different values for camera shake, I have done so already, these should match the overall weight and feeling of the different aircraft. https://zekermet.github.io/zk-aerofly-mods/index.html

    Hopefully there are some people that are able to tweak these settings and try them out for themselves. I might upload some videos to show the difference in the settings that I have tweaked myself.

  • Keep in mind that if you edit any files in the Steam library folder that this may cause issues in the next update on Steam or Steam may very well wipe all your changes in those files at any point or during the next update. Therefore it is not recommended to change the files directly, instead add the mod properly to your user folder directory, where Steam cannot change the files.
