ChasePlane coming to MSFS? Official statement incoming?

The only thing you can't do in the MSFS camera system are key assignable wing views.  You have to edit the camera.cfg file first.  Presumably, with Chase Plane you'd be able to do this like you did in P3D.

Not sure what you mean by "key assignable wing views" but setting up custom wing views that you can map to controller buttons is a simple process with minimal camera.cfg editing.  It is a topic that is well covered on YT.

Yes, that's what I've done now.  Key assignable (call it whatever you want) is when you get that view set up you can then assign it to a key or joystick switch.  I have my wingviews set to a switch on the throttle.

With Chase plane you don't need to edit the camera file.  I'm hoping that ASOBO fixes that in their next iteration of the camera system.

Modders have taken care of this a long time ago.

10 per aircraft? If not, 10 is not much, I need 8 for the 737 alone  (Captain / Captain-Overhead / Captain-TQ / Captain Pedestal  / FO / FO-Overhead / FO-TQ / FO-Pedestal). The FO views are relevant for my training.

Yes, 10 custom cameras per aircraft. I never ran out of cameras so far …

The lack of chaseplane is the no1 thing that‘s keeping me away from MSFS so I’m really looking forward to an announcement. I do not think that the MSFS system is the same as chaseplane, I have huge troubles with views getting somehow unintentionally modified or suddebly not returning to the previously set position etc. plus the fact that hitting a preset view key twice will get you out of that view back to some stupid standard view etc etc.  External views are tilting while moving and not centered on the a/c and so on. I find the view system in MSFS so incredibly hard to handle, it’s really a pain. For others it seems to works out somehow but I just want my straight forward chaseplane in MSFS.
