· Ability to padlock any point on the scenery window. Ideal for visual airfield patterns

· Approach view : ability to position the observer camera on ground by clicking on the scenery. Vertical offset added. Camera transition altitude added.

· “wobble camera” effect : kind of head latency effect in spot plane view mode.

· Cockpit sound added to head latency effect. Cockpit noise( “screeching”) when pulling more than +1.8 G or less than +0,0 G. Sound will be also played when there is enough turbulence

· View point shaking and cockpit noise when overspeed is exceeded

· Ability to assign any Active Camera event to any joystick button

External Pilot View activated
Ability to project the camera on the ground along the current track flown by the aircraft (Approach View)
Added shortcuts for Dialog Box, Fly By, External View, Approach View
On ground head latency is limited to 0.2 (hard coded) and makes rudder movements more realistic while taxiing or rolling at higher speed
Bug fixed : pre-stall buffeting is no longer dependant on ground turbulence box checked

Active Camera 2004 beta 1 (May 25th, 2003)

Ability to enable/disable all features via keyboard shortcuts.
Pre-stall buffeting effect.
Enable mouse panning and zooming in spot view.
Recording and recalling up to 10 preset views
Saving and calling a specific set of preset views for an unlimited number of aircraft
More realistic settings for head latency and ground turbulence features (limited to 2.0, recommended is 0.60 to 1.0)
Added shortcut for Internal Pilot View

Active Camera 2004 beta 0.9 (February 24th, 2003)

Programming a version for FS2004 from scratch.

ActiveCameraPro 1.3 (October 11th, 2002)

The user can now move the eye point up or down when in external view (not realistic but useful for spotters and aircraft designers).
The ground turbulence and head latency can be turned on and off via a keyboard shortcut (useful while flying).

ActiveCameraPro 1.2 (October 9th, 2002)

Just after the release of version 1.1 we discovered a minor issue related to panning with a coolie hat in a particular situation (high bank and pitch attitudes). We have corrected this but there is still a small undesired effect when you stop to rotate with the hat. Since this effect is not really disturbing, we will leave it as it is for now.
A type mismatch has been corrected in the .cfg file (crouch key assignment)

ActiveCameraPro 1.1 (October 7th, 2002)

A ground turbulence effect has been added (try it while rolling on the runway)
The head latency function has been improved (more natural head movement when turning). Now the virtual cockpit is panning slightly to the left/right.
Key commands can be assigned via an editable .cfg file (Useful for Track IR users)
The red text witch appeared permanently in the upper right corner (VC mode) has been deleted
The running speed can be defined in the dialog box (in meters per second, from 0.0 to infinity
