Some external camera definitions for your singe engine aircraft

[ICDP]

Simply copy the following text into your aircraft.cfg file and paste it below the [general] section to add some extra external camera views to your warbird or other single engined aircraft. Make sure you overwrite the already exisiting defintion. The defintions also work well with other fighter sized single engine aircraft but larger aircraft will be too zoomed in.

Nice! thanks!

[Marlin]

I'll give it a shot, as that little Italian water buggy doesn't have camera definations in it.
Thanks

I put these together. They are views from behind the wheels forward on the right and left.

[CameraDefinition.007]
Title=Right Side Door
Guid = {B0CA7E72-F3D9-F748-8BF5-108D197B2469}
Description = "View forward looking toward the wheel"
Origin = Center
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = FALSE
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = FALSE
Track = None
ShowAxis = FALSE
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = .5
ShowWeather = Yes
InitialXyz = 1.5, .5, -3.9
InitialPbh = 0, 0, 0
XyzAdjust = TRUE
Category=Aircraft
MomentumEffect=TRUE
ClipMode=Minimum

[CameraDefinition.008]
Title=Left Side
Guid = {96873AAD-621B-4C45-8A58-DEF7B7FCB051}
Description = View of the landing gear and left wing
Origin = Center
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = FALSE
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = FALSE
Track = None
ShowAxis = FALSE
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = .52
ShowWeather = Yes
InitialXyz = -2.0, 0.1, -2.5
InitialPbh = 4, 0, 7
XyzAdjust = TRUE
Category=Aircraft
MomentumEffect=TRUE
ClipMode=Minimum

The numbers have to be made to the next numbers.

EDIT: This is the right door. These are found in the aircraft views.

Thanks JoeW

Great stuff here!!:applause:

Another idea ****might**** be to simply copy/paste a favorite view of yours from another aircraft...

[lifejogger]

Make sure you overwrite the already exisiting defintion.


Good tips, I'm going to try them and see how they work out. But I suggest instead of overwriting the existing definitions you edit then out by putting // in front of them, that way you can go back and use them later if you want.

:wiggle: Good idea. Thanx!!
