CameraAPI - Eyepoint position wrong

Version: 1.7.10.0

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: Blocker

Bug description:
The position of the Eyepoint is not aligned with the position in the cockpit. In the case of the L-39, the view is back-left. Hard to tell where the issue is exactly since every aircraft is different but if we just look at the Z Position, the cameras.cfg file says this:

\simobjects\airplanes\asobo_l39_reno\common\config\cameras.cfg

[VIEWS].eyepoint[0] = -16.385 ft (-4.994148 m)
[CAMERADEFINITION.0].InitialXyz[2] = 4.701641 m
-4.994148 m + 4.701641 m = -0.292507 m ← That lines up to where it should be

Repro steps:

  1. Load into the Albatros L-39
  2. the camera api with FS_POSITION_REFERENTIAL_EYEPOINT

Hello @runshotgun

You are right, this is known issue on our side.
We essentially need to review our whole fleet to ensure the eyepoint, which wasn’t much used up to that point, is correctly configured.
This is on our todo list, no ETA though.

Regards,
Sylvain
