I had a process to create custom camera views, then copy the relevant configuration into the plane defaults.
The reason for that is that I still want to use those plane default views, just not the ones they set. Some developers do a terrible job of setting up the hat switch views, such as forward left, forward right etc.
So what I do is use the mouse to set the view that I want, then save that as a custom camera view.
I then go into that file that gets created to find two sets of values:
I then go to the plane default “cameras.cfg” file, find the view that I wish to alter, then copy/paste those values over the originals.
So for those hat switch cameras they are “QuickView_L1” to “QuickView_L3”, and “QuickView_R1” through to “QuickView_R3”, in this layout:
L1 - R1
L2 - R2
L3 - R3
L1 forward left, R3 rear right, and L2/L3 directly left, and right.
It’s been a while since I messed with that stuff, but I believe that to be correct.
If there are many numbers after the decimal point I will most likely round those up, and “Behaviours” pane (SDK) reload the plane to sanity check them to see if they still work. It only takes a few minutes to complete.
You could also create a mod, and leave the original file alone, of course.
