Hi Carlo,
Absolutely FANTASTIC addition - and a most welcome new perspective... The panning shots across the train look very good...
If you're working with cameras - one thing we really need - taking a page from P3D (Flight Sim) - the camera controls need weight and momentum associated with them (preferably user defined) - so we can make nice smooth panning shots... It would make the experience much better all around - as the camera is really our only interface with the virtual world - improvements should be relatively high priority...
I think one thing we need to do to recruit more members - as a community - is to post more videos showcasing ORTS looking the way it should - and good camera controls are part of that... I only started making videos for just that reason - the last time someone really took the time to do this in earnest was a year or two ago - and we've come along way since then...
Along those lines - I'd really like to have an option to stop having "Camera Label Confirmations" popup on screen - I know what camera I'm selecting - I don't need the dialog or the distraction... And it we could have "Control Confirmations" selectable from within the sim... This is so we can make better videos when desired - without exiting to setup the sim as needed...
Bravo Zulu - sir !!!
:)
Thanks for everything - and yes - I voted...
Regards,
Scott

Done, look at the OR NewYear MG thread.
Thanks for appreciation!

When Chris will implement this, I foresee to follow his framework, but at the moment there is nothing visible.

Yeah... I understand. I've been asking for camera sets for, oh, maybe 8 years. IMO it has huge potential and here you are coding to the old style of camera management. It's not like there are dozens of coders these days... every hour you put in (and thank you for those) really counts as a percentage of the current effort.

Whenever I hear the phrase "MSTS style cameras" I immediately think "cumbersome and confining" because that's the way they seemed for the single month back in March, 2013 that I used MSTS, Perhaps I was missing something?
For a person, like myself, with little knowledge of MSTS, specifically...what does the phrase "MSTS style cameras" mean and why would they be an improvement over the range of cameras we have in OR ( how would they improve OR?)?
Run8 also has the ability to walk around in the environment.
I use free camera #8 for that purpose, it wasn't made for that, like the feature in Run8...So a "walk around" or inspection camera would be welcome.
