    Camera Positions

    I want a forward view, a fixed spot view (of my choosing) and a top down view to be operated by pressing S. Is this possible?

    Re: Camera Positions

    Hi Martin,
    I believe you can adjust the eyepoint position utilizing keystrokes listed in the FS menus, once the new eyepoint has been set, you have to save that flight and reload it to use the same settings. I could be wrong but I remember moving the eyepoint around in the PMDG virtual cockpit once to have a look around more closely. I'm sure someone else will chip in with more info for you soon.

    Re: Camera Positions

    (unable to test as I'm not near my FS computer...)
    (Assuming you're using FSX)

    If my memory serves, [s] selects camera categories, [a] cycles through the cameras within the current category. I may have that backwards.

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc526984.aspx

    Try this:
    • Open the CAMERAS.CFG file located in your application data folder
    • Find the [cameradefinition.n] section for each of the cameras you want and make a copy of it, or create new cameradefinition sections from scratch. These new sections MUST have unique GUID. The SDK has a tool to generate valid GUID strings for you to use.
    • In each of the new cameradefinition sections, set Category = Custom
    • Save your CAMERAS.CFG file and start a flight in FSX.


    Once in your flight, you should be able to cycle to the custom cameras with [s], or select one of the "Custom" views from the main menu. Once within that group, you should be able to cycle between them with [a].

    If you try this and it doesn't work, please let me know, I'll try it myself and dig deeper until I figure it out or come to the conclusion that it's not possible.
