Hi Outerrans,
Is it possible to add more cameras?
I was thinking for the tanks, where we can switch between driver, commander, radio operator, loader etc...

It's possible but such functionality isn't available in the API now. My proposal is to attach the camera to a bone. It means you can create a dummy object in MAX/Blender orient it to initial position/rotation and then mark it as bone in importer. Then in the script you will be able to call this.add_camera_attach_point("bone name", ...);

Just was thinking to ask about the same question :)
One thing to mention - it wouldbe good if the camera rotation angle (orientation properties) can be specified (Locked, Unlocked, Limited + degrees)
- Basically if it's second Pilot - then camera unlocked and controlled by mouse.
- If it's a Wing camera or Gear camera - then locked - just watching the same direction as it was set up.
- And if it's small window in a tank or the passenger in airliner (with no 360 interiors) then the camera can be limited. So pointed specified direction, can be controlled but within the specified angle.

that those camera constraints are hidden in the "..." :)

I always imagined camera's could be set in game and saved. Go into UFO mode around a set vehicle, adjust the FOV and positioning and press a key combo.

A bone constrained individual camera is an awesome idea.
But first off all, fixing the wingman cam would also be nice :D :Þ

Lost a bit...
//Add camera
this.set_fps_camera_pos({x:0,y:3.5,z:2.45});?
