New Aircraft Editor, Edition of Cameras Bug

Dear Asobo, Something is wrong with the new Aircraft editor. With the previous
version, I was able to select the “developer camera”, and then click teleport
to camera to exactly see how the camera was configured, change the position
and save these back. With the new Aircraft editor, when I click teleport to
camera, you end up in the wrong position, or wrong field of view and it is now
imposible to tweak the cameras properly. Example below, I select Chuteview 1,
teleport and this is what I get:

1920×1080 979 KB
While when choose with the same
view via the Camera Panel, it shows like this (the correct position)
1920×1080 641 KB
Another example, pilot position
via teleport to camera:
1920×1080 609 KB
Real
camera setup via the UI panel:
1920×1080 696 KB

As it can be appreciated, it is now pretty much imposible to adjust our
cameras, and given we have no means to retrieve the camera position, POV, etc.
at runtime with variables, I cannot either use SimVar watcher to know where I
am to set up cameras manually using notepad++ or something similar. This force
us to have to move things without knowing, and recompile each time to guess.
this is pretty bad… can we please get someone to look at this and correct the
Aircraft editor so it behaves as expected on this regard? Kind Regards, Raul

Or you know… give us a camera API so we can properly do it ourselves?

@Simbol , No ETA at the moment , I will let you know when I know more In the
meantime, you can use the previous version of the Aircraft Editor by
activating it in the Tools menu too see if its better for the cameras
