In my 0.7.8 main.cxx I have this snippet of code:
// Tower View
FGViewerLookAt *tower_view =
(FGViewerLookAt *)globals->get_viewmgr()->get_view( 2 );
tower_view->set_view_forward( pilot_view->get_view_pos() );
if (!tower_view_initialized) {
tower_view->set_geod_view_pos( cur_fdm_state->get_Longitude(),
cur_fdm_state->get_Lat_geocentric(),
(cur_fdm_state->get_Altitude()+200)*
SG_FEET_TO_METER );
tower_view->set_sea_level_radius( cur_fdm_state->
get_Sea_level_radius()*
SG_FEET_TO_METER );
tower_view->set_pilot_offset( npo[0], npo[1], npo[2] );
tower_view->set_view_up( wup );
tower_view_initialized = true;
}
... and I can toggle the 'v' key to go from cockpit, to external rear view,
to a tower view (when flying at the default airport) --- works great. Is
this not part of the standard fgfs? I mentioned to Mark that we have this
working in our fgfs 0.7.8. I don't see this same piece of code in 0.7.9,
however.
