Camera LCD Script?

[Cole1138]

Would it be possible to create a script where an LCD screen (or multiple) displays what a camera sees?

There was a while ago, in a beta stage, but I think it's broken by now.

[Cole1138]

Damn noooooooooooooo
that would be so cool!!

[DrEarlInsanity]

it might come back. who knows

[callme-jk]

yeah, its rly time for this vanilla-feature...

Not quite what you are describing but it would be a start, and easily expanded on. Put your vote in.

This was the mod in question, but it was abbandoned when it became too difficult to maintain and update, maybe once the game reach a stable status where the changes would be really minimal and impacting has much as it is now.

I wish

I dont know if anyone remembers that poll ages ago with a buch of features for us to vote on. But this was one of the options so that indicates the devs could, and considered doing it. Parachutes were also in that poll and we got them so i am still hopefull for this feature in the future :)

[Cole1138]

Sweet! I sure hope so because it would be so cool to have a sim cockpit

When I've tried this ^^ Mod = It was giving a very low fps and simspeed to my worlds so I just deleted it and never used after that.

edit

I prefer to play with a good fps and simspeed.

IIRC the capability to stream a camera feed to a LCD does not exist in the base game, so the Mod Author had to add it. The resulting mod is actually a large rewrite of the underlying game and, as dan points out, runs poorly as a result.

Better to just add a control seat and set the toolbar to access the camera feeds.

Even vanilla antenna/camera use is broken in MP now anyway

[sir_lancealittle]

The idea is pretty neat, no doubt.

I suppose it could work a lot better if the devs made it on a game-engine-level, rather than us / modders trying to parse it all through a script.

They do have a features / ideas / suggestions forum, might be worth posting it there.
Although technically the game is in beta now, and beta would mean no more features will be added.

[Cole1138]

wellllll they did just add half armor slopes along with parachutes, so who knows!

I wonder if it would have less impact if it was a core function rather than an ingame script drawing a photo into a text box..edit: Although, the mod looks more integrated than I thought, and keen would be the ones making it a core function, so it would be a long shot...
