PMDG 737-800 — Chase Plane View Camera Package

Microsoft Flight Simulator

This camera package is designed for the PMDG Boeing 737-800 series.

Important Update

I am no longer using the old Custom Camera View system that was included in my previous camera packages.

The previous setup used Custom Camera 0 through Custom Camera 9 for cockpit panels, wing views, GSX passenger views, engine views, and other camera positions.

That system is no longer part of my current setup.

You are more than welcome to download and use this newer version because I am now using the Chase Plane View / Chase View system for the PMDG 737-800.

The goal is to provide a cleaner, easier, and more enjoyable camera experience without requiring users to depend on my older numbered Custom Camera Views.

CURRENT CAMERA SYSTEM

Chase Plane View

This is now my preferred camera setup.

The package focuses on smooth aircraft viewing and easier movement around the PMDG 737-800 rather than relying on:

• Custom Camera 0
• Custom Camera 1
• Custom Camera 2
• Custom Camera 3
• Custom Camera 4
• Custom Camera 5
• Custom Camera 6
• Custom Camera 7
• Custom Camera 8
• Custom Camera 9

Those older numbered camera assignments should now be considered part of the legacy version of this package.

OLD CUSTOM CAMERA SYSTEM — NO LONGER USED

For reference, my previous version included:

Custom Camera 0 — Pilot View
Custom Camera 1 — Left Wing View
Custom Camera 2 — FMC View
Custom Camera 3 — Right Wing View
Custom Camera 4 — Center Panel
Custom Camera 5 — Overhead Panel
Custom Camera 6 — GSX Passenger / Surveillance Camera View
Custom Camera 7 — Left Engine/Wing View
Custom Camera 8 — Upper Overhead Panel
Custom Camera 9 — Right Engine/Wing View

For the PMDG 737-800BCF and PMDG 737-800BDSF, Custom Camera 6 previously used a Throttle View because a GSX passenger view was not available.

I am no longer using this Custom Camera system in my current version.

CONTROLS

Most of my Microsoft Flight Simulator control options originally started from the default Asobo settings.

Over time, I created my own keyboard and camera controls to make the camera system easier for me to operate.

Because this newer release uses my current Chase Plane View setup, your personal control configuration may be different from mine.

You may adjust your keyboard, mouse, controller, or joystick camera controls according to your own preference.

---

INSTALLATION

Always make a backup of your existing camera configuration before replacing or modifying any camera-related files.

Your Microsoft Flight Simulator installation location may be different depending on whether you are using the Microsoft Store or Steam version.

Microsoft Store

Your simulator camera configuration may normally be found under a location similar to:

C:\Users\(Your Username)\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG 737-800

Steam

Your simulator camera configuration may normally be found under a location similar to:

C:\Users\(Your Username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG 737-800

Replace (Your Username) with your actual Windows username.

Your installation path may vary depending on your simulator installation and configuration.

---

BACKUP WARNING

Before installing or replacing any camera configuration:

BACK UP YOUR ORIGINAL CAMERAS.CFG FILE.

Keep your original file somewhere safe so you can restore your previous camera configuration if necessary.

I am not responsible for lost personal camera settings, overwritten configurations, or other problems caused by replacing files without creating a backup first.

FINAL NOTE

If you used one of my older PMDG 737-800 camera packages, please remember that this release represents a change in how I personally use the aircraft cameras.

I have moved away from the old Custom Camera 0–9 system.

My current setup is focused on the Chase Plane View / Chase View experience.

If you prefer this style of camera setup, you are welcome to download and enjoy this version with the PMDG 737-800.

Thank you, and enjoy your flights!
