Camera question

[Balladeer]

Is it possible to create a stationary camera view anywhere in Orbiter? Donamy had a youtube video of his Black Dart and the view seemed to be stationary while he was slewing to follow the moving craft. How do you achieve such a camera angle?

I've tried experimenting with the camera options in Orbiter but I can't figure it out.

Thanks for any help.

Ctrl + F1 and choose the third tab in the popup window that says ground.

Stationary relative to what? The "normal" external camera mode is stationary with respect to the spacecraft. The "ground" mode (as mentioned in the post above) is stationary with respect to a planet surface. Can you think of any other frames of reference the camera should be attached to?

Thanks for the help everybody. You learn something every day. I had experimented many times with the camera tab including the ground tab but could never figure out how to do much. I think what confused me was that there are only two bases to choose from for a ground camera KSC/Habana. That's what threw me off. I couldn't see how you could change it to anything else. I just now saw the "current" button and sure enough that's what creates a ground camera for me depending on what I'm currently viewing. Something simple but I didn't for the life of me see that button.

Going to try out the flyby camera view again too. Thanks again.
