Saving camera settings.

[Leo van den Broek]

I like to use the fixed camera settings. But they apply to the entire program.
It would be desirable for the camera settings to be saved per airport.
I now have to set my camera positions every time I change an airport
can you fix this?

Cameras F1 to F7 are general positions.
Cameras F8 to F11 are airport specific.

There must a limit to how many airports we can apply F8-F11 to. I went though each airport one by one saving camera positions with the F8-F11 keys. I have ALL of the airports and only the first 7 airports work with the camera positions I saved. Unless I'm missing something.

Yes, I know, but that's not the question.

It's about the following.
I mainly work with two airports,
Barcelona LEBL and Amsterdam Schiphol EHAM.
Schiphol is quite complex so I have defined various camera positions.
But when I start Barcelona and define the cameras there, they also change in the background at Schiphol, while I'm not playing it. That's what I'm concerned about. Those camera settings are stored centrally in Tower3, not per airport. Every time I change airports I have to redefine my cameras
Is it clear what I mean?

Yes, the issue is clear.
What camera numbers are you using to store settings in?

All From F1 till F9 Because EHAM is very complex.
But I still find it strange that the camera settings cannot be saved per airport.

As said before, only the cameras stored under F8, F9, F10 and F11 are saved per airport.
The other ones are general ones, so saving them at LEBL and then using them at EHAM, will give totally other views.
If you then go and change them to fit EHAM, they will be in weird spots at LEBL.

Clear, srosdo

But if it is possible to define F8 to F11 per airport, why can't we define F1 to F11 per airport?
Why can we only define half of the available function keys per airport?
After all, the technology to define them per airport is there.
Don't you think so?

[srosdo]

That's a design choice that has been made at some point.
The F1 to F7 cameras were designed to have certain tower views and are therefor general settings.

[Leo van den Broek]

I solved it differently.
I now have it running on two different PCs. 😂
On one is Barcelona LEBL and on the other EHAM Schiphol 👍

[srosdo]

Hahaha that's another way to solve it :-)
