Developer Camera suddenly below ground level or at high altitude

Hi all!

Am I the only one using the Developper Camera (in Scenery Editor) that suddenly gets below ground level or at high altitude few kilometers from the previous position?

To regain the control, I had to disable the "Developper Camera" from the dev menu then re-activiated it. Maybe am I using too much zoom-in zoom-out or the keyboard shortcut to move it?

I have it too, I'm so used to it that disabling and Re-enabling the dev camera has become an habit!

(Has been like this since the early sim updates)


It happens usually when I tilt the camera low on the terrain, especially when the terrain is not flat, but don't have precise repro steps

Hello @vbazillio ,

Could you show us a video showing when this occurs?

Let's go for the most boring video of the year ;) Hope you can visualize that sudden moves of the camera from on-the-ground to up-in-the-air are totally unwanted :

@vbazillio ,

It's not boring if it's useful ;)

Can you tell me if your plane is at the same airport as the one you are editing?

Regards,
Boris

Thank you Boris and Mamudesign for your comments.

>Could you show us a video showing when this occurs?

Will do my best to capture it and as MamuDesign said it's not super easy to reproduce (or at least intentionaly).

Hello @vbazillio and @mamudesign ,

I have not been able to reproduce this. I'll keep looking but if you have a specific step that could help me trigger this, I'm all ears :)


Regards,
Boris
