Obtaining Lat Lon Alt of Drone Camera

Is it possible to obtain Latitude, Longitude and Altitude of a drone camera? I have been looking everywhere in the SDK but I can’t find any info on that.

There is no such function for now - may I ask if you are trying to get this information from an external EXE (through SimConnect) a WASM module or just from the DevMode tools? If the latter we may be able to expose one of the internal tools we have that does that.

Best regards,

Thanks Eric,

Trying to get it form a WASM module. I need to know where the observer is (as in, drone camera) in order to conditionally spawn SimObjects.

I have a second-best solution, taking the position of the user aircraft, and it works, but ultimately I would need a drone camera position.

While I have your attention, I’ll post another q, unrelated but similar, if you can take a look at it. Thanks!
