Camera Position

[runshotgun]

Getting those camera Lat/Lon/Alt above ground values as sim variables would be incredibly useful…

I suggest to merge this feature request into

Camera API

Here’s a few things we’d love to see added to the SDK: Functions to create and use cameras programmatically, without having to define it beforehand in the airplane configuration. Dynamic cameras that can be moved, zoomed, created or destroyed. Functions to retrieve the position/orientation of every camera.

as this is a precondition (“being able to read the current camera position”) for a proper “camera API” that would also allow to “write” those settings, aka “freely position the camera” (in absolute world coordinates, relative to the user aircraft etc.)

So please add your +3 votes to the linked issue (if not already done so ;)).

If it is easier for them to just create A:Vars, I’d rather have that than nothing.

It would be very useful for projects other than a camera system.
