Cinematic camera view not changing.

You are NOT following directions. Quote the post that told you to open the file.

let me explain again. I still cannot find the exact file. it is obviously located in one of the three folders that I found. I really don't think i can delete an entire camera folder now can I?

One would think I would have to open the folder to access the file.

EDIT: I'm sorry, but I don't think there's any more help I can offer. Everything you need to do has been spelled out here. All you have to do is follow the instructions as given.

But you keep trying to analyze the instructions and reinterpret them for some reason. I don't know why. But so long as you refuse to just take our word for what you need to do ("our" including a Microsoft rep, mind you) and do it, without making up new steps of your own to insert along the way, I'm afraid there's nothing else to offer.

Yes. I feel like posting the image of Picard because of this.

Cameras.cfg is not a folder, it's a file. A simple text file. You can open it in notepad various ways. Simply clicking on it may not open it if the CFG files are not linked to notepad. One way is right click and "open with", another is open a blank notepad and drag the Cameras.cfg file to the open notpad window.

But you don't need to open it at all. Loki suggested deleting it. You may also rename it to get the same effect. I'd suggest a name like OLDCameras.cfg and see what happens next time you restart Flight. Also, you need to have Flight shut down before you do this.

Let us know what happens.

You seem to misinterpert my response.




I cannot open the folder that contains the file...end of story,

I am not refusing to take your word you simply won't believe my response.

once again I have found a camera folder which I imagine contains that particular file I need...I cannot open that folder to delete the file. the instructions do not say delete the whole camera folder do they?

Just a second post to make sure you saw my post just above yours. We posted a the same time.

I read it.

[LHookins]

So tell us what happened when you tried it.

I renamed it. Time will tell if the problem returns.

thanks for your help.

[LHookins]

Sounds like Loki's advice fixed it. If the problem returns, you know what to do next time. Good luck.

I foresee many renamed files cluttering up drives in his future.

I've never seen someone so determined to believe that a file is actually a folder that needs to be opened, and refuse to simply follow clear directions to delete it. OMG.

Give it a break.. what are you 12?

my computer knowledge is minimal..if you were 45 and never touched a PC for 15 years I'm sure you would be right on top of it.

Hey, the person who starts getting hostile and abusive has no grounds complaining about others making snarky comments.

The thing is, it didn't matter if your computer knowledge is minimal. The instructions didn't require any degree of knowledge, other than how to get to the file (which was given to you, in several ways) and to delete it (and if you know how to rename it, you know how to delete it).

You chose to over-analyze the situation, apparently thinking "It can't be this simple" or something. Well, it was that simple. That's what we kept trying to tell you.

In any case, it looks like you did finally find a way to make it work. Renaming it is as good as deleting, since Flight will create a new Cameras.CFG file if it can't find yours. You just end up with an extra file sitting on your drive. No big deal, though.

Hopefully this fixed it for you.
