You can download the free version of X-Camera. You can access them from the X-Camera Tutorial Page.
There is also a four part series of tutorial videos that will help you get started with X-Camera. AI PerspectiveĪny external camera can be viewed from the perspective of an AI plane if AI traffic is configured in X-Plane. You can also view the target reciprocal which as a view from the target back to your plane. Target following cameras are a special type of external camera that is attached to your plane and it has the ability to track a selected target. Targets are locations defined by a latitude, longitude, and elevation in meters. Watch you plane or helicopter take off and land on these moving platforms. You can configure cameras on the X-Plane moving scenery Aircraft Carrier and Frigate. Cameras on the X-Plane Aircraft Carrier and Frigate You can map a joystick button to quickly switch between your aircraft camera set and the nearest camera at the nearest airport. X-Camera can also automatically populate airport cameras by reading the airport scenery files and creating cameras at runways, starting locations, taxiway signs, and airport viewpoints. You can create up to 3,000 cameras per airport. You can define a set of free cameras associated with an airport. X-Camera can create unique orbit and fly-by camera sequences by providing a few key parameters Airport Cameras Individual Zoom and Field of View SettingĪutomatically Generate Unique Orbit and Fly-By Animations.This capability, in conjunction with the auto advance feature, allows you define fairly sophisticated animations that have an ultra smooth movement between the curve control points. Bezier Curve Transitionsīezier curve transitions allows you to define a transition between three or more adjacent cameras in a category. All the transitions in our YouTube video were done with X-Camera. This capability, in conjunction with the auto advance feature, allows you define fairly sophisticated animations that can be used for automated Pre-flight inspections, scenery viewing, and cool transitions affects that can be used when creating flight videos. Linear transitions allows you to define a transition between two adjacent cameras in category.
The views for a specific aircraft can be saved to a CSV file for easy editing Linear Transitions and Auto Advance.A HotKey or JoyStick button can be used to navigate to next or previous views.
We also support LinuxTrack on Linux and Mac systems. However, if the view is a close-up of an instrument panel then having TrackIR disabled is probably the better choice since the view will be stable making it easy to click on cockpit controls with the mouse. If the view is out the cockpit window having TrackIR enabled is desirable. Each view can enable or disable the TrackIR input.
