Advanced Question Free roaming?

[Hurricane]

Heyos there! :hello:
The question is, can I integrate free-roaming into the VC of my addon (yeah, I hope that's the right place to ask! ), like the way X-Plane's VC's work?

~Thanks in advance, Oz.!

In your own add-on, based on a DLL? Yes, you can. you can make the camera move just as you like.

Otherwise, no.

i gather it should be possible using LUA as well....


haven't tried it, tho - so can't tell for sure.... with C++ you can have it whatever way you want :thumbup:

Man, you guys are quick!
What do you mean by 'otherwise'?

Okay, thank you very much!

to-do list:

*ask this question, done.​

*learn C++, uhm...​

Since you can't have a real VC without c++ currently, you better should. :lol:

But C++ is really simple in the context of Orbiter, you learn it rather quickly here.

The problem here isn't the learning or the syntax, it's the tiny amounts of free time I get. High school is ain't no kindergarten! (;
How do you suggest me to learn C++ in the context of Orbiter?

~Best regards, Oz. :tiphat:

You will know how much free time you had in high school, when you enter university or go working. :rofl:

Simplest way to start: Get a good C++ book for reference, and modify one of the example spacecraft, like the Deltaglider or the shuttle-A.

Well, let's hope I won't (;
Okay, will do sir!
