X-Camera 2.2.1 is ready

[markcellis 133]

X-Camera version 2.2.1 is released. You can review the change log details in the user guide on the download page.

There is also a tutorial that covers the major enhancements to X-Camera 2.2.1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vctMkjvRaoo

If you are currently a 2.1.1 registered user your current 2.0 registration key will work with 2.2.1. If you are an X-Camera 1.1 user you will need to get a new key by registering again on our registration page.

Here are the highlights of the changes:

• Fixed the problem that prevented X-Plane views from being activated
  
• Changed the method for smooth camera joins to use a three control point Bezier curve algorithm
  
• Improved the “Nearest Airport Camera” to find the closest airport camera file within a 20 nautical mile radius of the plane.
  
• Adapted the X-Plane 11 Multi-Monitor support on external cameras to work with the new way X-Plane 11 PB6 supports offset rotations
  
• Fixed a bug in linear and smooth transitions when joining cameras with the auto advance feature. The bug introduced an additional frame at the camera join points which would look like a micro-stutter as the transitions were processed
  
• Modified the “Create Orbit” function to not use “Smooth Camera joins”. This is no longer needed with the aforementioned transition bug fixed
  
• Add transitions for X, Y, and Z CG offsets
  
• Added a SMOOTH_WINDOW parameter to the X-Camera.ini file so that the default 60 frame smooth window for the smooth camera joins option can be adjusted
  
• Removed HotKey for toggle walk mode as it conflicted with movie recording
  
• Added X CG Offset
  
• Fixed problems with applying Y and Z offsets
  
• Added Next View ID and Previous View ID select commands
  
• Added Select Category by ID command
  
• Added Cinema Verite option per camera
  
• Added Copy and Paste Camera
  
• Added Copy and Paste Camera Set
  
• Implemented FOV for Bezier curve transitions
  
• Added “Toggle Target Following” to the list of common camera commands on the Mini Control Panel
  
• Fixed some focus problems on a few dialogs that was caused by the opening and closing of the Mini Control Panel
  
• Fixed a bug with enable temporary positioning where the camera would not get restored if it was the current camera and then it is selected again via a view_id command or by the Mini Control Panel
  
• Fixed a problem where Pan Speed Toggle could initialize in a random state if settings were never saved
  
• Significantly enhanced the Mini-Control Panel
  
  • Add a row for cameras with View ID’s assigned
    
  • Add a row of context sensitive commands based on current camera
    
  • Allowed Mini-Control Panel to be pinned
    
  • Added more context to the Mini-Control Panel title bar
    
  
  
• Significantly enhanced the Community Aircraft File functionality
  
  • You can submit your camera files to the community from directly in X-Camera
    
  • You can update your submissions with new versions directly from within X-Camera
    
  • You can refresh your cache from the community file server directly from within X-Camera
    
  • You can filter the browse list for matches on aircraft type or author, no need to hunt and peck through the list
    
  • The list is now sorted by aircraft type
    
  • When you load a file from a plane that is not exactly the same but similar, X-Camera will optionally attempt to fix all the cockpit cameras

How can I enable the Top Hat Pan inside the cockpit. It works fine in External Spot View. Thanks.

It should work as long as you have the top hat switch mapped to X-Plane pan or rotate  commands.
