Use ADE to modify that information in the AFCAD.

Once you know the coordinates, you can create as many custom views as you want. And yes, setting them to "tower" will have the camera follow the user object. And it just so happens that I have two for TNCM, one at the Sunset Beach Bar and one on Maho Beach generally. You can thank me later :)

 

Add these to your cameras.cfg:

I do use these with FT's TNCM and also be sure to check both the cameradefintion number and Guids to make sure they don't conflict with any other cameras you may have. Enjoy!

Use ADE to modify that information in the AFCAD.

what is ADE

what is ADE

Airport Design Editor available free from scruffyduck, google the link.

With this tool, you edit the airport AFCAD and that contains the coordinates for the airport control tower.  I think that is a much more direct way of fixing a problem than created or modifying cameras although that has many other uses.

 

The most common problem with default tower views is not the location but the tower height and ADE makes it easy to adjust.
