iconkid Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Here's one for you: I want to do flights with an aircraft that is invisible! In other words, to substitute a craft with a null object so that nothing is rendered except the environment. In that way I can composite my own 3D aircrafts over it as background for an animation. I tried using Earth Studio for this but it was horrendously slow; any tiny adjustment you make takes a few seconds to a half-minute to refresh the screen even with a good Internet connection. It's only a ten minute flight over I495 (from Jake's 58 Casino in Suffolk to The Unisphere in Flushing Meadow Park, a 35-mile trip. If this is possible, I was wondering about the different camera views, specifically, can I make smooth changes in the camera angle and also keep the null (invisible object) as the camera's target? Can I toggle all the representative screen gauges off the screen during a flight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the "Insert" key to bring it up, then under the menu while flying you can control the speed and zoom of the drone. Move the drone with the "W" and "S" to go back and forward, forgot what the left right keys are??
