ChasePlane - Known Limitations

The Reality of Limitations...

ChasePlane breaks the mold of what an add-on can be in MSFS. As a result, we encountered a few simulator bugs and limitations that prevent some functions from working at 100%. Pay attention to the list below. Keep in mind that any future sim or ChasePlane update can add to or remove from that list. This is a living document.

Please do not purchase if you think you will be affected by any of them.

Tobii Eye Tracker

Currently not supported. We are working to bring that compatibility in a future update.

VR

ChasePlane works in VR with the following limitations:

  1. The depth perception of the mouse cursor can be off (on the right eye) while in the cockpit if the view is moved from the default pilot position. We are currently working to resolve this issue.
  2. The mouse cannot be used to pan/tilt the camera. Control assignments must be used to perform those. We will keep researching how we can make this work.
  3. The Smart View will not work in VR. We are working to resolve this issue.
  4. In MSFS 2020, panels cannot be displayed while in external or world view. This is true without ChasePlane as well and cannot be mitigated.

Default Replay System

You cannot use ChasePlane (or move the camera) when using the default replay system or an add-on that relies on the default replay system (like GEES). Just like with the default camera system, the simulator disables all camera variables during replay, and nothing can be done to move the camera. We recommend alternatives like SkyDolly and FlightControlReplay.

Xbox Controller as PRIMARY flight controls?

ChasePlane cannot switch between allowing your Xbox controller to control the plane OR the camera. IF you use an Xbox controller to fly your plane/helicopter or drive your vehicle, we recommend a second controller to bind camera controls, drone, etc.

Checklists

You will lose the ability for the sim to move the camera when clicking a checklist item. Due to the way built-in checklists are integrated, the camera cannot be moved to a checklist item selected from the checklist panel.
