• 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.

Transition between Views (Cameras)

So far using the Default CameraDefinitions for PMDG B737 (in P3Dv2.5) I am trying to get "smooth" transition from one camera-view to the next. Accordingly to what I can find of information regarding "cameraDefinition.xxx" within the aircraft.cfg file, it should be enough to add "Transition=Yes", and it the camera's should then translate between viewpoints, if "Transition=Yes" is set for both cameras (the active one, and the one you change to). However all I get is snap views (no transition, it simply changes to the other view) ?

Post the two camera views you want to transition to.

What key are you using A or S? They may need other parts to be the same - origin is same, both are transition=yes etc..

They are all set to "transition=yes" and I am using the "A" key to swithch between views. Below is a snippet from my (PMDG B737 aircraft.cfg"). All I have changed was to add "transition=yes" into all 3 views, but it doesn't change anything:
