This package contains custom camera views for each aircraft that came with the Microsoft Flight Simulator Premium Deluxe.They offer wing and cabin views, many of them beyond the virtual cockpit movement restrictions.
Version 1.1 corrects the WT CJ4 views, and adds the views for FlyByWire A320 NEO.
The custom cameras have been defined as follows (with the num pad keys arrangement in mind):
Custom camera 0 and 7 - pilot view
Custom camera 9 - copilot
Custom camera 8 - panel view
Custom camera 4 - left wing or engine view in the middle of cabin
Custom camera 6 - right wing or engine view in the middle of cabin
Custom camera 5 - cabin view in the middle of cabin
Custom camera 1 - left wing view at the back of cabin
Custom camera 3 - right wing view at the back of cabin
Custom camera 2 - cabin view from the back of the cabin
Installation instructions:
!!WARNING!! These custom camera files need to be copied in the main MSFS location, not the Community folder. Proceed only you feel comfortable with the following instructions:
- locate the "Airplanes" folder in the main Microsoft Flight Simulator installation location. This folder contains sub-folders for each airplane for which you have already saved custom camera views. Inside each subfolder there is a CAMERAS.CFG file with the custom camera views for each airplane. If you haven't saved custom camera views, then the "Airplanes" folder might be empty, or not present.
For the Microsoft Store installation, the path is as follows:
C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimObjects\
For Steam installation the path is:
C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SimObjects
- !!IMPORTANT!! make a backup of the "Airplanes" folder (see the jpg picture showing the folder location), in case you want to revert to your own saved camera views.
- Unzip this package in a temporary location
- copy the "Airplanes" folder into the "SimObjects" folder
- launch the Microsoft Flight Simulator and make sure that you have assigned keys or buttons (on controllers) for the custom views. You do this in OPTIONS > CONTROLS.
Please read the Readme file included in the package.
Enjoy!
Hello, I am not sure if you may have some answers, but I am struggling here. My version of the game is on Steam. I believe I have done everything as you described in your instructions to install the mod. However, when I am in the game and hit the keys to select a certain camera view, it doesn't change to the view I am trying to select. For example, when I try to select the custom camera 5 view, it pans to a certain area of flight controls in the cockpit. When I go into the controls settings I see where is says save custom camera and load custom camera, but when I hit the keys it doesn't take me to a cabin camera view. I am not sure if there is something else I need to do with setting certain keys up to select the desired camera views. Any insight you may have into what I am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, unfortunately it is very difficult for me to say what could be wrong there, but my suspicion is that there might be multiple assignments for the keys or key combinations associated with the camera views. As a first step I would recommend making sure that you have unique keys or key combinations for the camera views.

First off THANK YOU. I recently purchased QUEST 2 VR headset.
Seems these custom views are not the same with VR modes.
Anyone figure out how to have these in VR? can they simply be copied?

Hello and happy new year!
Unfortunately I don't have a VR headset and can't tell whether or not these camera views can be used in VR mode. Hopefully somebody else can chime in with some information.

Is there available tracker camera for MSFS what can follows the AI planes?
2 years ago
Hello, no, I don't think so, I have never heard of a camera that follows the AI planes. Try checking the forums and see if there is any talk about such camera.

Would it be possible to provide a front view without any cockpit obscuration? Like old MSFS / X-Plane / P3D have? I am using a physical cockpit and all the workarounds from the forums are just not right. Basically I want the good old "W" back.
2 years ago
The only thing that I can suggest is moving the viewpoint forward until you get out of the cockpit in front of the plane, and save the view or assign it to a different key. If you can't get it saved then let me know, and I'll try to get it done for you. Let's continue this discussion on private messaging.

What about this path? (for the NEO320 for example
Z:\MSFS2020\Official\OneStore\asobo-aircraft-a320-neo\SimObjects\AirPlanes\Asobo_A320_NEO

The camera views should work regardless of the path where the official content is installed.

Hi there, I really miss this mod, any news on an update further to SU7?
3 years ago
Hello, thank you for your kind words.
These camera views have never been affected by any of the sim updates because Asobo hasn't changed the way the camera works. I'm still using them and they are working on my system without any modification. The only things that have been affected by the SUs were the keyboard mappings (the key combinations to load or save the custom camera views in Control Options >>> Keyboard >>> Camera), so you might want to look into that.

Don't install in "Airplane" folder because this one is not more available. Directly to LocalCahe/Simobjects
3 years ago
Hello Stephrav, thank you for your comment. As I replied to Charlyzur, you can copy the "Airplanes" folder from my mod containing all the camera views directly into the Simobjects folder (please see the path in the mod description above). If you already have an "Airplanes" folder there, please make a backup before putting the "Airplanes" folder from my mod, in case you want to revert to what you have right now.

Hi I would like to install your file but I don't have CAMERAS.CFG inside SimObjects, CAMERAS.CFG file is outside SimObjects ... Can I install your file directly inside SimObjects or will it not work? Only airplanes are found within SimObjects. Thanks!

Hello Charlyzyr, yes you can copy the "Airplanes" folder from my mod containing all the camera views directly into the Simobjects folder (please see the path in the mod description above). If you already have an "Airplanes" folder there, please make a backup before putting the "Airplanes" folder from my mod, in case you want to revert to what you have right now.

I do like this mod. Can you please add some more airplanes?
Like Crj, DC6 and the new ac from Microsoft (Ju, Husky...)
3 years ago
Hello Lunoi, thank you for your nice comment. I will add the Aerosoft CRJ camera views soon (because now I own these aiplanes), but I don't own the Junkers, so I can't create views for it. If I'll ever acquire it, then I will create the views.

it seems the mod doesn't work with SU5, thats sad, I like the mod very. Any poxibility to adapt it to the Update?
Thanks a lot!
3 years ago
Hello, thank you for your comment. I am using the camera views with SU5 and it doesn't seem to be affected by it. The mod is nothing else than config files defining the view points, so it shouldn't be affected by any update, as long as Asobo doesn't change the way it handles the camera.

Hello,
I installed the addon on the latest update of MSFS and followed the instructions. All the custom camera views are flickering quickly and it looks like there are two images that are both trying to display. Any ideas would be most appreciated
3 years ago
Hello ddd, I don't really know what to suggest other than removing and re-installing the mod again. On my computer I see no problem between this mod and SU5 update, so without recreating the problem it is very difficult to troubleshoot it.

TOWER VIEW? Just wishful thinking, but as you are so adept at creating great plane views, is it possible to create a tower view at any airport? Something that is sorely lacking in the sim right now!
3 years ago
Hello, unfortunately a tower view is completely different from the interior views and I haven't looked into that yet ... maybe one day I'll try but I can't promise anything.

Thanks for taking the time to make this, I really appreciate it. However using the latest update (05/28/2021) aka Sim Update 4, I have to press CTRL+6/7 then press K afterwards to get the custom view that I am looking for.
Also on the Citation Longitude they have incorporated a wingview section complete with a window on both the left and right sides of the aircraft, if you could update your mod to reflect having those postions and also keeping the rearward (near engine) wingviews that would be awesome!
Keep up the great work!
3 years ago
Hello, unfortunately there is not much that I can do about the key combinations that you need to press for you views, you might need to redefine them in Controls. As for the Longitude, I was not aware of the changes. I will check it and adjust the views to take advantage of the new wingview sections, and upload an update. Thank you for letting me know!
