Install ChasePlane
ChasePlane is a Windows application that runs outside the simulator; unzip it, place the executable, and run it.
Black flashes while using ChasePlane
Stop black frames in ChasePlane by disabling fullscreen optimizations on your simulator's executable.
Cameras aren't working on the Aerosoft Airbus
Turn off the Aerosoft Airbus's built-in view system so it stops conflicting with ChasePlane.
Add-ons stopped responding? Regenerate wxstationlist.bin
Delete the wxstationlist.bin file so the simulator rebuilds it and SimConnect add-ons like ChasePlane start working again.
Make ChasePlane ignore a simulator
Create an ignore.txt file to stop ChasePlane from connecting to a specific simulator or changing its configuration files.
Recreate a classic Spot View
Turn any ChasePlane camera preset into a classic Spot View by enabling Track Aircraft.
Can't find the Replay tab? It's experimental-only
The Replay tab only appears in the Experimental version of ChasePlane, which you can enable in Preferences.
The "fixed a corrupt configuration" error
Fix the corrupt configuration error by restarting your simulator or resetting the Cameras.cfg file.
Trust ChasePlane in Kaspersky
Add the ChasePlane executables to Kaspersky's trusted programs list if the antivirus is causing issues.
Fully remove ChasePlane for a fresh start
Uninstall ChasePlane through Orbx Central, delete its leftover folders, reboot, and reinstall.
Aircraft reacts when changing views
Assign your camera controls in ChasePlane and remove conflicting assignments from FSX/P3D and FSUIPC.
The camera keeps moving by itself
Set a dead zone on your control axes in ChasePlane so a joystick that does not center perfectly stops moving the view.
Stop the sim from pausing when you use ChasePlane
Turn off the simulator's Pause on task switch option so FSX/P3D keeps running while you use the ChasePlane interface.
The view flashes when I zoom in and out
Assign your camera controls in ChasePlane and remove conflicting assignments from FSX/P3D and FSUIPC.
The view changes on its own? That's Cinematic Mode
Cinematic Mode turns on by itself above FL180 and after 10 minutes of inactivity; you can disable Auto-Enable in ChasePlane's preferences.
The view stutters when panning
Assign your camera controls in ChasePlane and remove conflicting assignments from FSX/P3D and FSUIPC.
Unable to pan using the HAT Switch
Assign your camera controls in ChasePlane and remove conflicting assignments from FSX/P3D and FSUIPC.
Why ChasePlane requires WideView Aspect in P3D
ChasePlane requires WideViewAspect=true in P3D so every display size gets the same camera results and wider zoom-out range.
Add Windows Defender exclusions
Add the two ChasePlane program files to the Windows Defender exclusion list if Windows Defender is causing issues with ChasePlane.
