• 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.

hey Folks,

I am currently trying to figure how can i free the camera of the aeroplane once the flight has started...
i have tried tweaking the camera.cnf file but the problem is that you cannot dynamically change the file and change the camera co-ordinates

basically what i want to do is using my joystick i want to have the freedom of exploring the world during the flight..

Can anyone please help me with it.
Thanks in advance
 
Hi,

I have not done this myself but have you looked at SimConnect - there is a SimConnect_CameraSetRelative6DOF command that you can change camera views.

Maybe I'm just dumb:banghead: but I don't believe I've ever heard of the camera.cnf file. Where is this located?

Thx in advance,
Sean

thank you for the reply
i have already worked with SimConnect_CameraSetRelative6DOF...yes i can change the viewpoints...but still it will look at the cockpit...i want to change the view and see the world...what i mean is i want to translate the camera viewpoint as well as the view..
please let me know if you find such a solution
 
I've done some experiments with this, translating a given FOV value to the FS Zoom factor.

I think that 0.4 equates to about 120 degrees, 1.0 = 90, 2.0 = 45, 4.0 = 22.5, etc.

Si
 
Hi Simon,

mmm....these values sound really strange. I am pretty sure that the zoom 1.0 should be almost 35 degrees. ....and anyway I need an exact value. thanks anyway

bye
Lorenzo
