Greetings, fellow aviators!
Lurking from the darkness, I decided to finally post here, because there's something I'd like to ask. I searched the whole forum searching for some clue on how to do it, but found nothing - hence this post.
What I wanted to do was a chase camera, but a specific kind - kind of like a combination of fixed view from behind and shoulder view - In such a way, that You take a fixed view, tracking the plane's pitch, yaw and roll, place it on the rear end of the plane and add a small time-lag in the movement of the camera, like in the shoulder view.
The problem is nothing I tried so far worked - SHOULDER_VIEW type is limiting the roll and pitch witch are pretty essential to what I'm trying to get. Adding e.g. LimitPitch=FALSE didn't help it. FIXED_VIEW works pretty much the way I want it to, but it lacks that lag of the SHOULDER_VIEW. And TRACKING_VIEW works perfectly on roll, but turning the plane any way other than... a certain pre-set direction messes up the camera, making the plane disappear from the view.
So My question is: Would it be possible to make something like that? A good example of what I'm trying to get is in FlightGear (the reason why I decided to try and do it by the way).
