Better Cameras for Controllable Ships
https://flightsim.to/file/18668/controllable-ships-fleet
New views available for:
- Hesperides
- Titanic
- Whale
- Nordkapp
- Bardu
- Skandi Santos
- Dannebrog
Due to the fact that these ships do not have an "interior" model it was not possible to create classic cockpit views like in an aircraft, where you can actually SEE the ship. You will have views like that but you will NOT be able to see the ship
To be able to see the actual ship I opted to use the so called "Fixed Views" (thanks to fosheem for the idea!)
You can create a special profile and bind them to your joystick, or just use the "A" key to rotate through the four views I provided:
- Front
- Starbord
- Port
- Port Aft
- Starbord Aft

Wonderful, just what these delightful ship models needed:

There are no interiors defined for these ships, so normal cockpit cameras are not available. This mod uses Fixed Cameras (like GoPro cameras) on the exteriors.
There are 5 views/cameras, most from bridge deck railings:
- Forward, centered where practical.
- Looking port from the port side.
- Looking starboard from the starboard side.
- Looking rearward from the port and starboard sides.
To use the Fixed cameras:
1. Choose Drone mode.
2. Use the button you use to switch between cockpit and exterior views, this will toggle between Drone and Fixed cameras.
3. By default, "A" will rotate through the various Fixed camera positions.
4. Now when you use the Drone mode command, you'll toggle between the normal exterior view and Fixed camera.
Note that Fixed cameras allow you full control of the ship while using them (unlike Drone mode).
Recommended places to sail:
The Humber Estuary in the NE of England, the 3 bridges look great a sunset from the water.
The Italian Island of Capri after you download the great scenery:

New York City harbor, especially when piloting the Titainic.
The Suez Canal, with the great Global Shipping mod installed, the canal can get busy.
