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

There are a few issues with the curr The sound issue has been reported to MS/ASOBO and is logged as a bug.

There should be no need to restart Spotty26 after changing the Radar radius. Try to reduce to you see Vancouver traffic disapears. This is a MSFS simconnect API setting I can't do much other than change the value. The AI bobble that MSFS creates is fully controlled it and based on the Radar radius value.
