Select Camera using C#

[Axel Reinemuth]

Hi, 

I'm looking for a way to activate a pre-defined camera using a tool I'm writing in C#

 

I'd like to activate for example "[CameraDefinition.005]", which is defined in the aircraft.cfg of this aircraft, using a button on my programm

Is this or something similar possible?

 

I'm using P3D 2.5 and the latest FSUIPC Version 4.944

 

 

Best regards

There are standard FSX/P3D controls to set the view to cameras 0 to 9. They are listed in the 'List of FSX and P3D Controls.pdf" document:
 

66851 VIEW_CAMERA_SELECT_1
66852 VIEW_CAMERA_SELECT_2
66853 VIEW_CAMERA_SELECT_3
66854 VIEW_CAMERA_SELECT_4
66855 VIEW_CAMERA_SELECT_5
66856 VIEW_CAMERA_SELECT_6
66857 VIEW_CAMERA_SELECT_7
66858 VIEW_CAMERA_SELECT_8
66859 VIEW_CAMERA_SELECT_9
66860 VIEW_CAMERA_SELECT_0

 

 

You can send these controls via offset 3110. Declare as an 'int' and write-only:

private Offset<int> sendControl = new Offset<int>("SendControl", 0x3110, true);

Then when you want to switch the view assign the new number and process the "SendControl" group: (This example is for camera 5)

sendControl.Value = 66855;
FSUIPCConnection.Process("SendControl");

It's working, thanks a lot :D

At first I didn't add "HotkeySelect=x" to the aircraft.cfg, but after adding it, everything worked fine.

 

Thanks again
