[REQ] Track Aircraft options

[wiltzei 15]

Hello.

The aircraft frequently leaves the frame. I'm proposing a few selection options to counter this:

• force the aircraft reference point into middle of screen
• change the tracking reference point (XYZ)
• change the panning speed
• add an autozoom option with realtime refinements of zoom level

1. Camera > Advanced > Track Aircraft
2. This is planned but we need a great idea to make this feature easy and intuitive to use
3. Camera > Advanced
4. Not certain to understand what you mean by auto-zoom. You can set the zoom speeds in Camera > Advanced too

I sent you a personal message a few days ago:

 

1. Was using this. The framing doesn't work even at moderate speed of the aircraft.

2. Make a planform view icon for XZ. A sideview for Y

3. This was regarding the auto tracking speed. You would simulate tracking speed of a real cameraman with this.

4. Have you used FSrecorder 2? Basically the aircraft would fill same portion of the screen all the time regardless how far it was.

The options are plenty of enough to warrant a separate "tracking" tab in the camera options IMO.

Now I get what you're saying!

Thanks for that feedback. There are a few options we want to work on for the Aircraft Tracking feature but we aren't there yet.

Regards,

Any progress?

Not at this time. We will work on those features after v1
