Problem Storing and reloading VC camera ID?

[Thunder Chicken]

In the R-4 the VC has three camera positions, VC ids 0, 1, and 2. clbk_LoadVC seems to default to position 0 any time F8 is hit. Even if the glass and default cockpits are set to return false (VC only), hitting F8 will automatically go to ID 0.

Is there any way to get the VC to store and then apply the last requested id? For example, if one shifts to id 2, then hits F8 to cycle to the glass cockpit or do something else, and then returns to the VC, can id 2 be restored?

One more difference between the VC view and glass cockpit view is that the VC view remembers camera orientation whereas the glass cockpit reset camera position to "forward".

This is a separate issue.

Even if the glass and 2D cockpits are completely disabled (VC is only option), hitting F8 will always bring you to view ID 0, no matter if you were previously at another view.

And camera orientation is restored in the VC view after switching with F8 key.

That is true. There is nothing that allows the camera orientation to be preserved either.
