CameraPositionX is a tool to define and edit CameraDefinitions in your aircraft.cfg and cameras.cfg.
Features:
Assign joystick buttons or keyboard combos to camera positions
Cycle through camera positions using joystick buttons or keyboard keys
The app is tracking the eyepoint movement and records the position of the viewpoint in the sim.
All 6 degrees of freedom plus zoom can be tweaked in real time.
You can save a new CameraDefinition any time.
You can edit existing CameraDefinitions.
You can create fixed point cameras at lat/lon coordinates either globally or individually per aircraft.
You can edit almost every parameter of the camera definition according to the SDK spec.
Installers for FSX Accel, FSX SE, P3D 2.5, P3D 3.2-3.4, P3D 4.x., P3D 5.x., P3D 6.x
Improved camera selection method.
Edit all camera definitions, even those that cannot be displayed by the app.
Timed camera scripts, to automatically switch between camera positions based on timers while the app is running.
Works completely stand alone. Camera definitions are saved to your aircraft.cfg or cameras.cfg.
It is not required to run this application alongside your simulator, unless you are using the hotkey feature. Once your are happy with your camera setup – all cameras are accessible with the built-in view system of the simulator.

I purchased this program for one reason. I needed to add a close up camera view of my flight1 GTN 750 and GNS 530 in the virtual cockpit. I could not use pop-views in native P3Dv4.1 Virtual reality using Oculus but I wanted a useable close up of the GPS. Camera Position X fit the bill and did a great job. I re-ordered my camera views, took out the tower view, and adjusted the other views. You can adjust the cameras for each aircraft alone or make global adjustments or additions. You run the program in a window and the sim in another window next to it, to get all the cameras set up. Once you save everything, you don't need the program to run while flying, only for setting up views. Awesome price, simple, great developer!
It’s an excellent program. It does exactly what it says on the can. For the price it simply can’t be beat. I hate the Flyby and the Locked Spot views. It took a few minutes and they are gone. Yay! Just read the manual thoroughly, get used to the interface, try everything out (but don’t save anything yet) and once you’re comfortable with the program, you can then make your changes and save them. It installed flawlessly, and via SimConnect, it was up and running in seconds. Highly recommended!
Fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a full size 737 sim and I had a problem lining up my outside view correctly with my 3 projectors .
I tried camera x for fsx steam ,which enabled me to position the runway centre line directly in front of the
captains yoke as it is in the real aircraft the software is much more flexible than using the sim assignments keys
for altering the view .
I can taxy ,takeoff ,land and taxy back to stand with tge correct outside view showing with no crabbing effect as before
I would also like to thank Oliver at camera x for helping me out with my views great customer service quality with a capital Q

1. I've waited for one of these automated tools forever, and here it is! I used to adjust the viewpoints manually, now I don't have to.
2. It says exactly what it says it does.
3. It's small, and the interface is easy to use.
My previous 2 star review was read by the developer, who immediately got in touch and offered some great support and help. I now have the tool working great with all aircraft, except the Aerosoft Airbuses (possibly due to the custom VIEW system they have, although I have that turned off. Very happy to revise my rating to 4 stars. The tool does exactly what it's supposed to now, in all cases except the Airbuses. One of the main actions I took to resolve the problems, was to re-install the required .NET application and re-boot my PC.
The core functionality is very good and easy to use. The problem is that, for me, it only works on around one third of the aircraft I tried it with. With the others, I get constant "Unhandled Exception" errors, when trying to save new default viewpoints. The zoom system is also very buggy, and if I adjust zoom (via the tool or in FSX), and then again try to save the new default viewpoint, I again get the "Unhandled Exception" error. I think this tool needs some internal reworking to better handle potential conflicts and errors in writing to the CFG files. As it stands, it is just far too buggy, even considering the low cost.
