fixcamera setting still partly working

[jollyjack]

Hello. - fixcameras question.

 

I was able to change fixcamera Alt-F2, folder .... \data\LuaScripts\worldobjects\fixcameras\planes, for the FC planes,

for the better battle overview above the pilots head in Arcade-view and still being able to shoot etc. See Example 1)

 

But doing this for a Bf109E7 did not work: all changes made did not work and default views were showing only in the game .... what am i doing wrong?

Bf109E7; it has also a convex parameter I don't understand what it does. Not present in the FC plane txt files. See Example 2)

 

1) EXAMPLE AlbatrosD5.txt file, changed first block and shifted [attach] numbering:

============================

 // attach ID should be in range from 100 to 110

[attach=100] // forward view 1m high above pilot's head
    position = 0,1,0
    rotation = 0, 0, 0
    object = "LuaScripts/WorldObjects/GoProCamera75.txt"
[end]

[attach=101] // Gun camera over the cocpit
    position = -0.227,0.289,0.525
    rotation = 0, 0, 0
    object = "LuaScripts/WorldObjects/GoProCamera75.txt"
[end]

 
[attach=102 // Forvard camera located on the vertical fin
    position = -3.820,0.806,0.236
    rotation = 0, 0, -10
    convex = "VO"
    object = "LuaScripts/WorldObjects/GoProCamera90.txt"
[end]

[attach=103] // Forvard camera located on the horizontal fin
    position = -3.688,0.471,-1.391
    rotation = 0, 0, 0
    convex = "GO_L"
    object = "LuaScripts/WorldObjects/GoProCamera90.txt"
[end]

 
[attach=104] // Backward camera located on the engine cowling
    position = 1.354,0.586,-0.647
    rotation = 0, 150, 0
    object = "LuaScripts/WorldObjects/GoProCamera90.txt"
[end]

[attach=105] // Side camera located on wing
    position = 1.025,0.717,-3.860
    rotation = 0, 100, 0
    convex = "Krilo_Top_L_3"
    object = "LuaScripts/WorldObjects/GoProCamera90.txt"
[end]

[attach=106] // Forward camera located below the plane tail
    position = -3.768,-0.168,-0.272
    rotation = 0, 0, 0
    convex = "Fuse_3"
    object = "LuaScripts/WorldObjects/GoProCamera90.txt"
[end]

=====================================================================

 

2) Example Bf109E7.txt file, unchanged:

=====================================================================

// attach ID should be in range from 100 to 110

 

[attach=100] // Gun camera over the cocpit
    position = 0.7, -0.3, -1.1
    rotation = 0, 0, 0
    convex = "WingL_Mid_0"
    object = "LuaScripts/WorldObjects/GoProCamera75.txt"
[end]

 

[attach=101] // Forvard camera located on the vertical fin
    position = -5.2, 1.5, 0.2
    rotation = 0, 0, -10
    convex = "Fin_Ctl_0"
    object = "LuaScripts/WorldObjects/GoProCamera90.txt"
[end]

 

[attach=102] // Forvard camera located on the horizontal fin
    position = -5.2, 0.85, -1.3
    rotation = 0, 0, 0
    convex = "Stab_MdlLft_0"
    object = "LuaScripts/WorldObjects/GoProCamera90.txt"
[end]

 

[attach=103] // Backward camera located on the engine cowling
    position = 1.9, 0.8, -0.6
    rotation = 0, 170, 0
    object = "LuaScripts/WorldObjects/GoProCamera90.txt"
[end]

 

[attach=104] // Side camera located on wing
    position = 0.75, -0.2, -4.2
    rotation = 0, 80, 0
    convex = "WingL_Out_0"
    object = "LuaScripts/WorldObjects/GoProCamera90.txt"
[end]

 

[attach=105] // Forward camera located below the plane tail
    position = -4.8, -0.3, -0.4
    rotation = 0, 0, 0
    convex = "Fuse_Ctl_7"
    object = "LuaScripts/WorldObjects/GoProCamera90.txt"
[end]

Found this post from Jason, maybe why it does not work with the above Bf109E7. I have a trackhat, only it's also when opentrack is not running.

How ever it works with the FC one planes, but there's no convex parameter in the txt files.

 

PS: Weird, the default P51D15.txt file is nowhere in the folder .... \data\LuaScripts\worldobjects\fixcameras\planes.

Don't touch your mouse or use TrackIR when in this camera more.
