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! :p), 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.

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.
