FStarter24 v5 — Your MSFS2024 Companion Tool.

Hi, I'm looking for a few FStarter24 v4 users to help beta test the new FlyBy and World Camera features in FStarter24 V5. If you're interested in trying them out and providing feedback, I'd love to hear from you.

Glad you like it! This is just the beginning. Spotty26 is on its way to becoming a must-have tool for every MSFS2024 pilot, and it will soon be joined by the all-new FStarter24 V5.

Yes, no traffic at EGLL at the moment. Better to use FSLTL Traffic Injector (with either Navigraph or RealTraffic) as they seem to be more stable.

I only use FST's models and mine is in the Community folder after I once in a time ran the FST Setup. I use the FSLTL Traffic Injector mostly. The folder is called: justflight-fstraffic-module Aircraft models looks fine when viewing them with Spotty26

In Spotty26's Menu\Joystick setup you configure buttons to camera modes. Example:

Using MSFS2024's defaul camera system and Spotty26's Flyby camera that is activated with a joystick button click. Toggling between MSFS2024 Cockit camera and Flyby camera.

The Tower / Spotter View footage shown in this video includes a segment recorded by Youtuber easyJetSimPilot.

At the moment, Tower View in Spotty26 is user-positioned. Spotty26 does not currently know the real-world location of airport control towers, so you choose the camera location yourself by simply clicking on the map. In reality, the feature is better described as a Tower / Spotter View rather than a strict control tower view. It allows you to position the camera anywhere around the airport—at the control tower, near a runway threshold, on a spotting hill, alongside a taxiway, or at any other location that provides a great view of aircraft operations. Both Tower / Spotter View and World View camera positions can be saved and later recalled instantly with a single click on their map marker. This makes it easy to build your own collection of favorite viewing locations at airports around the world. One of the most exciting uses of this feature is during your own flights. For example, while on final approach, you can press a keyboard shortcut or joystick button and instantly switch to a flyby camera located at your saved Tower / Spotter position, allowing you to watch your aircraft approaching from the selected viewpoint. This capability is made possible by the new camera features introduced in MSFS and adds an entirely new dimension to flight simulation. The result is far greater flexibility than a traditional tower view. Rather than being restricted to the airport's actual control tower location, you are free to create and save your own preferred viewing positions anywhere around the airport

The iFly 737MAx is not displaying the external model, but rather the VC model when the new camera system that was introduced with MSFS2024 SU5 is activated. IFly seems not to have made their model compatible with the new camera system in MSFS2024. All other airplanes we have tested work fine with Spotty26 and the new camera system in MSFS2024.

bosflo: Sometimes the camera controls aren't working This is a known issue and fixed in 1.4.1 that is coming soon. Can the camera view be set in chase view Added to improvement list for next update I would also like to ask if there is a way to plant a camera next to a runway and just watch planes arrive tracking them one by one without clicking on each one. What I mean is that I was hoping for a way to track the plane to a certain distance and then the camera would automatically switch to the next plane and so on and so on. Can this program do this? Added to improvement list for next update
