Title: Question: Difference of two variable pairs in FS2SCP source
Post by: razorjack on September 28, 2007, 06:44:53 pm

Hello,

Can anybody tell me why does FS2 have two different camera transformation pairs?
One is (Eye_position, Eye_matrix) and the other is (View_position, View_matrix).

Thank you in advance for any answer

Perhaps one is the cockpit normal view, and the other is the external ship view. ?

I'Ve tried to look at both. For me it seems like the View_matrix variable is the inversion of Eye_matrix.
But I'm not 100% sure, FS2 source is somewhere redundant and a little confusing.
