Camera definition problem!

Featured Replies

(This seems to be the forum people are using most often for camera definition issues....)I've read the SDK, searched the forums, and am still having trouble making a certain type of cockpit camera do what I want it to do. It's of course being defined within the aircraft.cfg.I have no trouble ADDING and manipulating new cameras, inside or outside. But what I need to do now is create a default 2D camera which, for this particular plane, overrides and takes the place of the default 2D cockpit camera settings located within cameras.cfg. (Or at least relegates the camera.cfg's 2D panel settings to second place, selectable but not default.) It's easy enough to add an alternative 2D cockpit view. No problem there. But I need this view that I define to be the view that comes up initially, when the 2D panel is first selected / cycled through. (This is for a freeware project that I know many will enjoy... though they'll enjoy it less if I can't get this working correctly. This issue is pretty crucial, actually.)Here is basically what I want: (The zoom of 0.85 is the really important part.){CameraDefinition.001} //in bracketsTitle = CockpitGuid = {B1386D92-4752-4652-A137-738E25D1BAB5}Description = This is the description of the cockpit viewOrigin = CockpitShowPanel = YesSnapPbhAdjust = OrdinalSnapPbhReturn = TruePanPbhAdjust = OrdinalPanPbhReturn = TrueTrack = NoneShowAxis = FrontOnlyAllowZoom = TRUEInitialZoom = 0.85 SmoothZoomTime = 2.0ShowWeather = YesXyzAdjust = TRUEShowLensFlare=FALSECategory = CockpitHotKeySelect=2I've tried using the same GUID as the default 2D cockpit camera def in cameras.cfg, hoping this would accomplish the "replacement." I've tried using different GUID's, obviously.... I've tried renumbering CameraDefinition.001, as above, to CameraDefinition.1, as well as other numbers. On reload the plane just always seems to revert back to zoom 1.0. Finally, the "save as default flight" method is not an option. I need these settings to be loaded every time the user reloads the aircraft. (As with VIEW_FORWARD_ZOOM, now no longer supported.) This has been VERY frustrating. I LOVE the possibilities this new camera system offers... TREMENDOUSLY... but I'm thinking that several features / descriptions have been left out of the SDK. Surely there MUST be some relatively simple way to accomplish this.Anyone tackled this issue? Thanks!Scott
