Anyone there who also wants free cam in AFS22? 
(As it will help Youtubers a lot)
Free Camera (like in msfs,IF etc.)
-
It's interesting, maybe do plane spotting or take a nice photo.

Do you want spotter camera locations or do you want free cameras?
Please define what the free camera should be. Is it ok the ground only? How do you control the camera position on mobile?

Yep

I think they may need to add more perspective to the video playback of the game. of course, It would be great if the onboard camera would show up on the display.

Jet-Pack (IPACS) Maybe you can do it like this. It‘s only a small Idea but I think it can be looking like this.

I wrote triple click not double click, so that pinch to zoom is still available.
And the camera should move in the direction that you are looking in, e.g. looking up and moving forward makes the cam go up. Doing the same but moving backwards makes the cam go down.

This is also a great concept👍

Exactly....

Ok and what exactly are the use cases where you really need a free camera?
For plane spotting you probably would want preset camera position close to the end of the runway for example but it wouldn't need to go higher than tallest buildings plus a couple of meters, correct? What should happen to the plane when you are flying? Should the sim be paused then?
And then you would probably also want to have a camera attached to the plane that allows you to roam around the aircraft mid flight, right? This movement probably should be limited to couple hundred meters I guess.

With this feature you can move around at the Airports and around the Planes. That would be really cool to do Plane spotting. And also you can go in the Plane and make own wing views.
For later Features my Idea is that you can set own Wing Views. And than you have a list with all your own Views and go automatically to them when you choose them.

What should happen to the plane when you are flying?
The plane should continue to fly and react to inputs. Could that be problematic, because of system limitations?

It's probably similar to a P3D or IFS game.

P3d doesn't have a chase camera by default. You need add-on to use it. Ifs yes that does have. And that one is like x plane 11 and looks amazing. I recommend af to add free camera like that.

A free roam camera would be brilliant. I would use it for a walk around the aircraft. I would also use it to find the perfect spot for watching planes take off and land. This would make the other planes flying more interesting. I never really see them when I am flying. I would also use to walk around an airport. Plus anything I haven’t thought of yet.

what about a dash cam? Jet-Pack (IPACS)

Jet-Pack (IPACS) Talking about in-game camera, will we get any “head sake” camera movement when landing in cockpit view ? IMO, I think that touchdowns aren’t very evident, especially on very smooth landings and the implementation of a “head shake” camera mouvement would not only add the the realism of the sim, but also make touchdowns more “obvious” when “buttering” aircrafts.
I’m really not sure if that feature was added in AFS21 since I haven’t bought it but if not, I feel like this is would be a pretty great addition.

We probably wont ever do fake head shake cameras effects but we may start shaking the aircraft which is much more realistic. The camera can already move around because of accelerations acting on the plane (just like your head would move in the real aircraft) but it's not really noticeable unless you pull 9gs in a fighter. We may be able to adjust the parameters to allow more movement even for subtle accelerations.
