Thanks Ron, unfortunately your formula doesn't seem right, I don't think
it's giving me what I want, or I have made a flaw in my implementation
perhaps (but looking at the offset values, in most exterior views they
are basically zero anyway, so pretty sure it's just not the numbers I'm
looking for).
var distance_to_camera = func {
var model_x = getprop('/sim/current-view/target-x-offset-m');
var model_y = getprop('/sim/current-view/target-y-offset-m');
var model_z = getprop('/sim/current-view/target-z-offset-m');
var me_x = getprop('/sim/current-view/x-offset-m');
var me_y = getprop('/sim/current-view/y-offset-m');
var me_z = getprop('/sim/current-view/z-offset-m');
var x_diff = me_x - model_x;
var y_diff = me_y - model_y;
var z_diff = me_z - model_z;
return math.sqrt(
(x_diff * x_diff)
+ (y_diff * y_diff)
+ (z_diff * z_diff) );
}
To clarify, imagine you are standing in the tower, looking at an
aircraft, I want to know the straight line distance between your
eyeball, and the aircraft (for some reference point on the aircraft,
doesn't matter what).
