• 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.

MSFS20 Drone camera detaches from aircraft

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough and verify if this is happening on their end. I was about to do full sim delete/uninstall/install, but thought I try asking here first to verify. I also posted this as a bug in MSFS2020 Dev Forum.

Problem:

When at very high altitudes, drone camera stops following (detaches from) aircraft and keeps rising in altitude.

Repro steps:
  • Place aircraft into slew mode
  • Slew up to ~45,000 meters
  • If you have Debug mode on, open “Debug | Display Position” window to monitor altitude
  • Select Drone camera: Showcase, “Camera Drone”, “Drone Follow Mode” ON, Drone Lock Mode “OFF”
  • Release slew mode (aircraft will fall)
  • After a second or two, drone camera will detach from aircraft, which will keep falling
  • You can keep pressing “RESET POSITION” button to catch up with the aircraft.
This behavior stops at ~35,000 meters, where it reverts to correct behavior, with drone following aircraft consistently. I know this looks like a very unlikely flight scenario, but I am developing a MSFS202x space flight module, and this is turning out to be a bit of a showstopper. Please, anyone, let me know if you can reproduce this, before I go for a full sim delete and re-install. I can create a video of this problem if needed.

(This is not a controller problem, I disconnected all peripherals and the same thing is happening)
