This enhanced freeware package updates and refines the external perspectives of the default Bombardier CRJ 700 in Microsoft Flight Simulator X, introducing multiple new camera definitions for an expanded and detailed vantage point experience. It retains the authentic layout of the original flight deck while focusing on improved external viewing angles. Created by Marc Renaud, this set of modifications offers straightforward installation and comes with reference documents for easy integration into your simulator configuration.

Refined Exterior Perspectives

The Bombardier CRJ 700, a popular short- to medium-haul regional jet, benefits from these reworked camera definitions to highlight important aerodynamic structures such as the T-tail and wing assemblies. This package features ten new external angles, each finely positioned to showcase different sections of the aircraft without sacrificing performance. Although the internal cockpit views remain fundamentally unchanged, they have been subtly adjusted for a smoother visual transition between interior and exterior perspectives.

Key Additions and Included Materials

  • New Camera Definitions: Precisely coded viewpoints in the aircraft.cfg file that offer more flexibility when panning around the exterior.
  • Reference Documentation: A PDF outlining coordinate tables for these customized angles, plus a text file with the complete camera definition entries ready for copying.
  • Straightforward Setup: Instructions are placed within a dedicated readme, ensuring a quick and painless installation process.

Camera Setup Procedure

  1. Ensure Microsoft Flight Simulator X is closed before proceeding.
  2. Back up your existing aircraft.cfg file for safety.
  3. Open aircraft.cfg and remove all current camera definitions (typically found near the bottom).
  4. Open the provided camera definitions.txt file created by Marc Renaud.
  5. Copy the new camera definitions in their entirety.
  6. Paste them into the aircraft.cfg file (near the bottom is recommended).
  7. Save your updated aircraft.cfg.
  8. Relaunch the simulator and load the default CRJ 700—try departing from Sofia, Bulgaria, and head off toward London, UK to test your new views.

Useful Operational Tips

Enabling mouse-controlled panning (SHIFT + O) helps achieve fine control over each viewpoint. You can temporarily lock onto a particular spot using the SPACE BAR, then revert to the original orientation with CTRL + SPACE BAR. If you find a particular camera angle unnecessary, detailed instructions on removing any definition are included within the camera definitions.txt file.
