Yet they can't figure out how to bring Chaseplane into MSFS.

MSFS is a tightly sandboxed platform. Just like weather, for example, there's little to nothing one can interact with.

I could understand something about weather, but a camera fix?, fsrealistic already prove what could be done with the camera system and now //42 is changing the whole UI of the main system platform and can not do the same for camera shake/headmovement? sounds like they did their homework and know most people using MSFS are completely fine with default stuff and would not spend 50$ on a camera system. Many don't like the default UI so they may (PC users) put up some extra bucks for this program.

Edit: I also want to mention you are right MSFS is highly sandboxed and that is because of the XBOX.

One of those solutions looking for a problem apps afaic.

Maybe more useful on XBox because of the lack of mouse navigation? The developer has done a good thing by providing a no-cost version that allows potential buyers to evaluate the app utility.

It's been explained on the forums a number of times by the team behind Chaseplane but also GSX. Don't you think if they could release a camera system like Chaseplane they would have done so by now? Hell even by another developer. 

Take a look at the comments at: https://devsupport.flightsimulator.com/idea/232/camera-api.html by some of these developers on what they want/need to see so they can work with the camera system. 

What FSRealistic has done is cool but it doesn't use any sort of API, it's a custom solution and they have even mentioned it can cause issues while flying.

Looks pretty cool to me, wonder whether it's good in VR, might have to check it out.

Can it do my laundry?

That’s actually kinda slick. Asobo could take a few notes.

Yeah, I didn't need shortcuts for the MSFS menu, we just need a little better menu.

And once I figured out the camera I was fine... does it still need work? Sure. But I don't think this is the solution.

This is brilliant.  What they implementing into the Pro version is awesome.

Day 1 purchase of the Pro version for me.

Is there a written feature list anywhere?  I’m trying to understand why this is a “game changer”.

Having bought several of their addons, I think this developer is great as well as very smart and slick with presentation style. At the same time though, it feels kind of ludicrous on Asobo's side that we need to pay for a better menu.

They have abandoned skypark for 10 months now. They showcased v3 in march and never finished it. Instead they are putting out bs like tents and now a toolbar for a toolbar.
