• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSX:SE Camera cycling behavior

Hi,

I have a few cameras defined in aircraft.cfg, and one of them refuses to show up during "S" camera cycle command (I have to "kick start" it through "Outside view" menu option, and then it gets included in the "S" cycle). Important to note: I have disabled (using CycleHidden = Yes) all the default cameras except the

[CameraDefinition.001]
Title = Cockpit

in the Cameras.CFG file, plus, I added an extra custom camera in Cameras.CFG file, of type "Outside".

the camera that refuses to show up in "S" cycle is also of "Outside" type. Both "Outside" cameras refuse to show up in "S" cycle, until I invoke them through the view menu. Also, just to be sure, I did add "CycleHidden = No" but it it didn't help.

So, What's the trick to this? how do I make sure my cameras are included in the "S" camera cycle?
 
Ok - so I investigated this further. For the "Spot" type (category "Outside"), if it is omitted in the Cameras.CFG file at the position 003 ([CameraDefinition.003]), it will not be included in the rotation until it is explicitly selected from the view menu. Why there is such a behaviour, I have no idea :confused:... This is a different behaviour than for the "Aircraft" category... perhaps because "Aircraft" category is specific to an aircraft and therefore not found in the global Camera.CFG file.
