July 24, 20223 yr Is there any decent 3rd party camera program out yet? Still find the native camera support to be entirely lacking from an ease-of-use perspective.
July 24, 20223 yr Same here, need to have a six year degree to utilize it. Its too complicated and not easy to use. The whole sim world is waiting for Chase plane and other great addons from P3d to be ported over. Gnacino
July 24, 20223 yr Never going to happen. MS/Asobo have decided that the camera system will be locked down and inaccessible to third party devs.
July 24, 20223 yr The Camera API needs to be opened up to make this possible. I suggest voting on this MSFS thread: Fix / Support Camera API in SimConnect - Community Support / Wishlist - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums if you haven't already and maybe they will do something about it. Vote to fix transparent sun visors having no effect on the sun glare effect in MSFS at: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/sun-shades-sun-visors-not-influencing-light-in-cockpit/691565/
July 25, 20223 yr camera sdk was partially opened up I guess. that's why FSrealistic pro was able to make use of some of those camera effects.. 3rd party apps like chaseplane can give us tower view and fly-by views which are not natively available..

July 25, 20223 yr I was a Chaseplane user and I can say that there are only 2 features that I don't have in MFS that I used in Chaseplane. Automated cinematic views. Camera movement effects (bumps, breathing whatever it was). Although I cannot say I have been missing those features much so I probably would not end up purchasing a MFS version of Chaseplane.

July 25, 20223 yr Commercial Member When we made the EZdok camera for FSX and P3D, we could change the assignments of the simulator keys. How to implement this in MSFS without conflicts when using the keyboard, I do not see a solution. Therefore, even if the SDK provides access to full camera management, I cannot imagine the functionality of the camera management similar to what we saw in P3D/FSX. Another thing is the camera effects, I looked at how it was done in FSRealistic and it's not bad. But in my opinion, there is a lack of a realistic DHM (Dynamic Head Movement) implementation.

July 25, 20223 yr I think Jorg said that they didn't complety reject updating the camera system, but it didn't sound like that this was a priority for them. Maybe they might improve it in the future.

If they planned to bring out their own utility I could understand it. But two years on and they haven’t. It’s a bizarre decision. I rely on ChasePlane so much in P3D I couldn’t contemplate any other system. Ray (Cheshire, England).

July 25, 20223 yr What exactly are the problems with the default camera system? Just curious as I haven't had any needs beyond the basics that the default system provides - it lets me move the camera around and save the position as a custom view with a keyboard shortcut, and then I can just switch between the custom views I have saved. I don't use it for anything else than a few close-up cockpit views of various instruments, and I haven't had any issues with that.
July 25, 20223 yr Default camera system is not bad actually, is just about getting used to. Even if ChasePlane or something similar released in MSFS, I don't see myself using it since I am used to the default system.
