Apps Drone Camera Pro 0.3.6

MaxFrames · Aug 21, 2023

I had to delete the app because the issue was prominent (on one occasion the drone camera kicked in when I was on the starting grid and I had to quit the race because no key combination would disable it). As soon as possible I will reinstall it, restore my key bindings and post a screenshot. Anyway I just assigned CTRL+ALT+D to "activate", CTRL+ALT+N to "next car" , CTRL+ALT+P to "previous car" and CTRL+ALT+A to "altitude".

Tsuka1427 updated Drone Camera Pro with a new update entry:

0.1.8 - 2023.Aug.21

Supported the second combination of the keyboard in the key assignment.
This allows to use combinations such as Ctrl+Alt+something.

Added a multiplier setting to the cursor movement speed and wheel rotation speed during mouse control.

Originally, that keybinding should not be available, so there is a possibility that an unintended key assignment was made.
I have released a new version to support your desired key assignment.

What I can tell you is that when I assigned CTRL+DEL+[whatever] to a function, the GUI reported it as "Menu + [whatever]", dunno why

I unzipped 0.1.8 in the apps folder and took a screenshot of how the key binds looked like.

I'm 100% sure that I'd entered the key combos in the same way, yet they looked different after closing and reopening the app: "keyboard menu" for "activate" and "keyboard" for the others. I'd entered all of them as "CTRL+DEL+key".
After reentering the binds with the new version, it looks like this:

So now all binds seem to have sticked and are being read "correctly" (I guess "menu" stands for "alt").
Anyway, even with the incorrect binds, dunno why the app was kicking in w/o me touching the keyboard at all, and would not disable.
I'll try now and post back.
Thanks

EDIT: now when I'm watching a replay, as soon as I activate the drone camera (ctrl+alt+d) the replay starts playing backwards (from end to beginning).

I didn't figure it out either, but it seems to be a duplicate of AssettoCorsa's standard keyboard shortcuts.
Therefore, the combination with the Ctrl key is not recommended.
For example, Ctrl+Alt+D overlaps with Ctrl+D for Rewind Replay.
If you want to use key combinations only in this app, you need to avoid overlapping with the following combinations.

In-Replay mode:

Ctrl+S - toggle slow-motion on/off
Ctrl+D - rewind, cycle speed 2..5x
Ctrl+F - fast forward, cycle speed 2..5x
Ctrl+N - next lap (green marker at timeline)
Ctrl+P - previous lap (green marker at timeline)
Ctrl+R - exit replay
Ctrl+space - pause replay

In-Game mode:

Ctrl+Q - damage display (enabled/disabled)
Ctrl+L - labels, driver names
Ctrl+I - toggle ideal racing line (on/off)
Ctrl+J - show damage status for a few seconds
Ctrl+G - auto shifter (on/off)
Ctrl+H - toggle HUD / hide/show apps
Ctrl+O - session restart / return to session menu
Ctrl+R - replay, exit replay
Ctrl+C - AI driver (on/off)
Ctrl+P - ??? (input is lost)
Alt+Enter - switch fullscreen/windowed fullscreen

Don't worry.
Some events may be bugs, so please continue to report any oddities.
Thanks for taking the time to report it.

Hey, I love the new app for drone cam, settings are more intuitive and easier to control.

I do have an issue though, where the drone is locked in heading mode (either yaw or movement) the car looks jittery, as if the car is replaying at lower frame rate but the scenery/track looks as normal.

Any help or know issues of this?

In Heading Lock movement mode, it rotates according to the vehicle's velocity.
However, there seems to be a case where the Velocity frame rate that can be obtained with the API implemented in CSP is slow.
I don't think it will be fixed until we think of alternatives to velocity or improve CSP.

Tsuka1427 updated Drone Camera Pro with a new update entry:

0.2.0 - 2023.Aug.30

View attachment 691017

Changed raytracing related processing to greatly reduce Altitude Lower Limit load.
Along with this, switching between "Track objects" and "Road surfaces" to be judged has been abolished.

Added "Any objects (Simple)" to autofocus target settings.
This is a simplified version of the raytracing process, which is less expensive, but may be less accurate.

I cant seem to get this to work with camtool 2. Is it perhaps a compatibility issue?

afylio · Sep 23, 2023

Im in love with this app but, sadly 1 second after closing / hiding hide the config / main app window , the cam seems to be disabled by itself , i already assigned a key to enable , but whenever the window is not visible / opened , the cam won't enable

any fix for this?

adorable786 · Sep 28, 2023

The application is so good but there is one main problem. The car stuttering so much. I want smoothness
