I think first you may want to explain what EZdok is ?

[ZK-MAT]

More info is required I think. I Googled it and read a bit on AV Sim as a result - why do you ask?

I've edited the topic title to make it a bit less legally actionable:)

Discussed here previously. ('Search' is your friend.)

It is a good addon for alot of things though programing it takes some reading of the Manual before understanding it ,there are default profiles for the default aircraft ,but for aircraft you have that are third party need profiles made for them ,this is complex in my opinion and takes alot of time..
I have other camera modules like DBS and have tried freeware ones aswell for my movies that are a lot simpler ,this one is in a league of its own though conflicts with other key programs i use, it is compatible with Track IR so thats a good thing
If and when i master it properly ,this camera addon would be a 7/10

I have been using this programme for a couple on weeks now and I am hooked, there is no going back for me now. Yes you have to create new views for every addon aircraft but once thats done all you need to do is back up the database and your good for any future reinstallations of fsx. All the default aircraft are done so for example if you added a new GA aircraft into your collection, you would export all the default cessna 172 (or similar type aircrfat) cameras and effects into a backupfolder. When you install a new GA aircraft all you need to do is inport the GA cameras and effects into the new aircraft and edit the camera locations. to do a single aircraft is fairly painless once you have tha hang of it. I have it fully set up on my saitek X52 and am loving it. The main draw card is that the different movement,momentum and vibration effects it produces greatly enhances your flying experience. there are 3 different effect types from the pilots perspective, random head movement which simulates light turbulance, Dynamic head movement which is directly effected buy the weather generated turbulance and g forces, and touch douwn effects which gives you the impression of bouncing in your seat and varies on how soft your touchdown is. The effects are all customisable and the array of setting is overwelming however i have created some cool heli effects that gives a slight shudder that you would experience in a real heli. I match the frequency of the vibration to imitate the rotor speed of the heli and it is quite cool.
The default a and s keys and views are still active so you wont loose that functionality. I highly recomend this piece of software, you can share files easily between simmers and the software will be updated periodically.

I've been using the older Freeware version of it for 2 years now, and I love it.

I wouldn't buy the new version personally, but that's just me,

I don't see the point in spending money, when I've got one that does it for free.

Free version is here:

I didnt think the old version had all the effects and that alone is worth the money, just the imersion factor it provides is worth it. Even if your not into makeing fsx films it is still a great addon for general flying.

Oh, well if you need to see effects while flying, then yes, the newer payware version is probably the way to go.

The main thing I use if for, is a poor man's Track IR. The realistic head movement it provides is all the immersion I need.

I agree, the smooth head panning is a major improvement over the default panning. Microsoft should have implemented this, because the default FSX spot camera view has soft panning over the FS9 view which does not so they could have done it.
