What are my options for following aircraft?

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, back in the old days there was a program called active camera. It allowed you to 'park' a camera [like a drone] somewhere at the airport and watch airline movements on the ground. it would let you set a radius that the camera would stay in and the camera followed ai planes as they moved by the camera. But it would then follow another plane automatically when it moved into the radius. I spent countless hours just watching arrival after arrival and it felt like I was at the airport in person. I saw a few videos that showed how to follow one ai plane, but it would not switch to the next plane which is close but not exactly what I am looking for. It's also not easy to find an ai plane to watch using the drop-down list. I am wondering if MSFS can do this because I think this would be a great feature and make plane spotters happy. I think even a keyboard button to advance to the next ai plane would be good enough. I also don't mind buying a program if that could work too. I'm pretty sure there are some camera tricks in MSFS but I don't know what they are, and I still haven't figured out the drone camera system yet. If I search for the topic it seems to always bring up cockpit camera settings and that's not what I want. Thank you for any advice or suggestions.
