I will be doing an overhaul of my tool soon to reflect recent changes to the object camera system. -7/13/24 Cinematic Camera's Menu & Automatic Xbox Controller Input Tool I was able to make a cinematic cameras menu using steam input, but the steam version of DCS is not required for the tool. When using my tool you can tap once then press down on the d pad of your xbox controller for the camera menu to appear. If you select an option from the camera menu, the tool will switch to that camera and automatically switch the control scheme of the Xbox controller to best manipulate that specific camera type. You should theoretically be able to create a DCS cinematic video without having to the touch keyboard with my tool. In Depth Video Tutorial Here: A Quick Text Based Guide This is assuming you own the stand alone version of DCS but if you own the steam version skip to step 3. Within Steam, enable steam input for xbox controllers. Add DCS to steam as a non steam game. Enable steam overlay while in game: Steam Settings, In Game, Tick Enable steam overlay while in-game. Enable steam input for DCS (for stand alone users its' the one you just added) With DCS selected in your games library, click on the controller icon on the far right side. Refer to step 3 if you don't see it. With the steam controller input window open, click on browse community layouts. Then under community search "DCS FILMIING" Apply the highest version number of DCS FILMING created by the user Crow(Me) If you don't see my layout in the community tab click on show all layouts towards the bottom hopefully you will see it now. To test it, load an instant action of any DCS officially created aircraft. Once in game press escape and make sure to clear out any commands that DCS may have applied to your xbox controller. Clear any commands it applied under the general controls tab and the current aircraft your using or plan to use for film making. Tap and hold down on the D pad of the xbox controller for the menu to appear. Move your thumb around the menu then let go on the camera you want to select. You don't need to hold down for the menu to appear to select another camera menu option on the d pad. But the menu helps if want to enter any options that exist in the diagonal selections. Refer to my most up to date controller input guide image on my DCS user file page in screen shots to understand how manipulate the camera, but its pretty intuitive. I initially created this tool for members of the flying community I'm apart of but I thought I might as well improve upon it and share it publicly. This is the sort of thing I wished existed for me when I first trying make videos in DCS. So I hope others find it helpful. Refer to my DCS user file page below for updates to the steam controller input guide image and denotation of further updates to my tool. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3334129/ I have not had much experience with creating tutorials so hopefully it all make's sense.

Could we get a simple advanced waypoint action to, "Patrol Route"?
