January 1, 200917 yr Commercial Member The camera support through simconnect seems very limited. For your first question, I have not found a way to more precisely identify the camera and sub-view that is active. For your second question, I have implemented this using camera views defined in cameras.cfg. Add the keyword "HotKeySelect=<Number>" to a camera definition, and then send in the VIEW_CAMERA_SELECT_<Number> event through SimConnect.I hope we can look forward to a more flexible camera interface in TrainSim2 and FS11, including the ability to activate any camera on any object (including every type of AI object).RegardsSimon www.supertrafficboard.com
