Few products have been requested by Microsoft Flight Simulator fans as much as the popular camera system ChasePlane, and it’s finally coming.
If you’re unfamiliar with ChasePlane, it’s an extensive and highly customizable camera system by third-party developer Parallel 42 that enables charming cinematic views and is available for older simulators.
So far, its implementation in Microsoft Flight Simulator has been impossible because the camera controls were inaccessible to third-party developers, with fans and Parallel 42 itself requesting very vocally for this to be addressed for the past four years and change.
Apparently, the change has finally come and ChasePlane is coming “soon” for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The developer has not shared whether the add-on will also come for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, for the moment.
Parallel 42 promises “effortless custom view creation and sharing, complete camera control (including roll axis and zoom), flyby camera and Cinematics mode”
On top of that, the add-on features human, mounted, and chase camera physics, promising to make “every shot feel alive.”
If you want a taste of what this all means, you can check out a teaser trailer below.
