YOUR FIRST SESSION
A good shot starts here.
Keep the whole app folder together. Start from a parked car and a normal driving view.
-
01
Open the studio
Close older CAM windows. Place the unpacked app in a writable folder, keeping its DLLs and resources beside CAM.exe . Open it and select your FH6 installation if needed.
-
02
Connect to FH6
Start FH6, park safely and select a normal driving camera. Close competing camera tools, then choose Connect in CAM.
-
03
Choose your first shot
In Camera , select an angle and press Start camera . For flight, prepare Fly Free or FPV Drone , capture an origin and check the arming position for your layout before enabling or arming.
-
04
Fine tune, then save
Adjust the frame and lens. Use Save fine tune for camera presets, Save current view for Fly Free, or Save flight start for FPV. Release gives control back to FH6.
Your controller.
Your flight style.
Xbox layouts give you a starting point. Every supported axis, action and keyboard binding can be remapped.
Connect an Xbox pad
- Connect to Windows, preferably by USB for the first test.
- Prepare the flight mode. Open Input → USB radio / gamepad , refresh, then select the Xbox / XInput entry.
- A new entry starts with the recommended layout. Existing mappings are kept. Apply Xbox layout resets the selected device to the previewed layout.
- Capture an origin. For Fly Free, center both sticks and release both triggers before enabling. For FPV Drone, use the arming check below.
A natural start for Xbox pads.
Recommended for a spring-centered controller. Fully release RT and center both sticks. Confirm live throttle reads 0% before clicking Arm drone.
In this layout, releasing RT lowers throttle to 0%; pulling the left stick down does not lower throttle. Zero throttle is not hover: gravity still acts in Acro.

Optional mouse aim uses right-button hold. The pointer stays visible and free. Enable it, set sensitivity and remap keys in Input; save edits before resuming. Typing pauses native input.
Set up a USB radio or other gamepad
- Put the device in its PC joystick/gamepad mode, refresh the device list and select it.
- Choose a channel and press Detect movement . Move the requested control; review mapped output and raw input.
- Capture center, then sweep the full range. Start throttle calibration fully lowered or released.
- Adjust inversion, deadzone and expo. Press Detect beside each controller action to learn buttons.
- Review and Save mapping . Release any learned button, center controls and resume explicitly.
Choosing a channel does not start detection. Cancel or Escape stops listening. Detection locks flight and never automatically saves or rearms.
USB support depends on a Windows input device. Proprietary modes are not guaranteed; physical compatibility needs testing with your actual device.

Open a category for exact options, limits and save behavior. All distances use native game units.
Camera framing & lens
Position, rotation, transitions and preset behavior
Camera framing & lens
Position, rotation, transitions and preset behavior
Framing
- Side / Height / Depth
- X, Y and Z offsets relative to the selected game camera. Each ranges from -10 to +10 native units.
- Yaw / Pitch / Roll
- Yaw and roll: -180° to +180°. Pitch: -89° to +89°. Reset framing returns position and rotation to zero.
- Blend time
- 0-5 seconds. Choose 0 for an instant change or increase it for a gradual transition.
- Suggested game camera
- Current game camera, Chase high, Chase low, Cockpit, Hood or Bumper. Select the suggested view yourself in FH6; changing this setting releases control.
Lens & library
- Follow game
- Keep the game or camera mod’s native lens behavior.
- Fixed lens
- Set a consistent 25-130° field of view. Starting points: Tight 35°, Balanced 60°, Wide 95°.
- Save fine tune
- Store position, orientation, field of view, transition and suggested view. Keep both numbers a copy; Replace keeps the previous file in history. Saved angles recall their own lens.
- Built-in angles
- Fourteen starting angles: Native framing, Calm offset, GAP · chase, Close chase, Wide chase · live, Low chase, High chase, Left shoulder, Right shoulder, Left quarter, Right quarter, Rear-facing, Cockpit · lower and Hood · lower. Built-ins preserve your current lens. Wide chase changes depth rather than FOV.
- Import / Export / Compare
- Import compatible JSON with preview, rename, add, keep both or replace; imports over 64 KiB are rejected and importing does not change the current camera. Export saves a .live.json file. Compare previous camera recalls the prior angle and lens rather than opening a side-by-side view.
- Preview controls
- Orbit/Lens, Reset 3D orbit, Side view and Top view affect the illustration only. Follow game shows an illustrative 60° rather than measuring FH6. Hide the camera library for more space.

Fly Free position & motion
Assisted movement for the world and Estates
Frame the scene
- Capture origin
- Capture a normal driving camera before enabling. The origin defines your reference position and the valid movement region.
- World position
- Adjust X (Across), Y (Height) and Z (Depth) within 300 native units of the captured origin on each axis.
- Orientation & lens
- Yaw: -360° to +360°. Pitch: -90° to +90°. Roll: -180° to +180°. Field of view: 25-110°.
- Top down / Aim at origin / Undo move
- Top down points straight down and resets roll without changing position. Aim at origin points toward the captured reference and resets roll; move away first. Undo move recalls the previous stored framing change, not a recorded flight path.
Set the response
- Precise / Normal / Fast
- The fine, normal and fast tiers move at 1 / 10 / 45 native units per second. These are not calibrated metres.
- Level plane
- Move forward horizontally while keeping aim independent.
- Where you look
- Forward movement follows the direction of the camera’s view.
- Smoothing / Look rate
- Smoothing: 0-2 seconds. Look rate: 10-360° per second. Motion changes save and lock flight. Precision scales movement and angular rate to 0.15×; Boost doubles them. Precision wins when both are held.
FPV Drone tunes & physics
Acro flight, motor response, rates and momentum
FPV Drone tunes & physics
Acro flight, motor response, rates and momentum
Start with a tune
- Cinematic
- Gentle center response and gradual motor changes for flowing lines.
- Freestyle
- Faster rotation and more direct motor response for committed banks and quick recoveries.
- Chase
- Responsive tracking with smoothing for following a moving car.
- Apply flight tune
- Previewing a tune does not apply it. A new FPV profile starts as Custom even when the selector previews Cinematic. Apply saves the tune and locks flight. Restore previous tune is available during the current session. Controls and FOV stay the same.
Shape the flight
- Center response
- 10-100%. Softens small stick movements after calibration; full stick retains the maximum rotation rate.
- Rotation smoothing / Motor response
- Rotation smoothing: 0-0.2 seconds. Motor response: 0-0.3 seconds. Lower values feel more direct; zero motor response follows throttle immediately.
- Pitch / Roll / Yaw rates
- Each maximum rate ranges from 30-720° per second. Begin with lower rates while learning. In FPV, Precision and Boost scale body rotation only; they do not change thrust, momentum or Maximum speed.
- Maximum speed
- 0 means Automatic with a 100 native-unit/second ceiling. An explicit 1-100 ceiling limits speed. FPV no longer inherits the Fly Free speed tier.
- Air resistance / Drag
- Air resistance: 0-0.15, adding resistance as speed builds; zero keeps the legacy drag model. Drag: 0-5.
- Thrust / Gravity
- Thrust: 1-60. Gravity: 0-30. Throttle controls thrust; pitch, inertia and drag also determine travel speed.
- Field of view / Camera up-tilt
- FOV: 25-110°. Camera up-tilt: 0-45°, tilting the view upward as the drone pitches forward. FOV applies live after capture.
- Custom changes
- Manual flight-feel and physics adjustments save as Custom and lock flight. Camera up-tilt also marks the tune Custom. Rearm deliberately with neutral controls and low throttle.

Input, calibration & profiles
Keyboard, mouse, Xbox and Windows joystick devices
Map and verify
- Input device
- Refresh devices, then choose Keyboard / mouse only or a connected controller. Select Xbox / XInput over a duplicate generic joystick entry to preserve independent triggers.
- Detect movement
- Select a channel, press Detect movement, then move the requested control. Channel selection alone never starts learning. Cancel or Escape stops detection.
- Mapped output / Raw input
- Mapped output includes inversion and tuning. Raw input is the hardware reading. Check both before saving.
- Calibration
- Capture center, then sweep the full range. For throttle, begin fully lowered or with the trigger released.
- Invert / Deadzone / Expo
- Invert reverses mapped output. Deadzone: 0-0.5, ignoring small center movement. Expo: 0-1; higher values soften the center.
- Controller buttons
- Press Detect beside an action, then press its button. Review assignments and Save mapping. Release the learned button before using it for flight.
Save and reconnect
- Save mapping
- Applies the edits and locks flight. Detection never saves or rearms automatically.
- Apply Xbox layout
- Explicitly resets the selected device’s axes, calibration, response and buttons to the displayed layout. A preview alone changes nothing.
- Per-device profiles
- Mappings and calibration are stored separately for each device and flight mode. Radio calibration stays saved when selecting an Xbox pad or keyboard.
- XInput slots
- Four player slots are supported, not hardware serial identities. The same slot restores its saved profile; different pads in the same slot share it.
- Keyboard & mouse
- Keyboard and mouse preferences belong to the flight mode and carry across devices. Remap by focusing a key binding and pressing a key, then Save keys.
- Mouse aim
- Optional right-mouse hold uses cursor movement without hiding or warping the pointer. Sensitivity: 0.01-1° per pixel. Typing pauses native input.

Saved views & flight starts
Repeat a shot in a location you name
Build a collection
- Current location
- Enter the Estate or world location manually. CAM does not detect it. Setting a location releases camera control.
- Save current view / Save flight start
- After capture, save position, orientation and lens with a name and location. Fly Free views and FPV starts are separate collections.
- Search & load
- Search by name or location. Load a saved view in its matching location; a view from elsewhere is staged until you go there and capture a fresh origin. Saved starts do not teleport the car, load Estates or record flight paths.
- Delete
- Remove an individual saved view or flight start from its collection. The combined library supports 500 entries.
- Movement boundary
- Coordinates must remain within 300 native units of the captured origin on each axis. There is no collision detection.

One active camera
- Connect
- Select the FH6 installation if needed. Start the game, park safely and use a normal driving camera before connecting. Close competing camera tools.
- Prepare mode
- Browsing a workspace does not switch control modes. Prepare Fly Free or Prepare FPV Drone releases the previous mode and requires a new captured origin.
- Lock / Resume / Release
- Lock freezes framing. Resume needs neutral controls. Release gives control back to FH6 and clears the origin; capture again before starting. Camera and flight modes cannot own the connection together.
- Automatic holds
- Focus loss outside CAM/FH6, unplugged controllers and stale input lock flight. Reconnecting or holding Menu cannot rearm automatically.
- Release shortcuts
- Ctrl + Alt + Backspace releases globally when registered. Escape first closes an open dialog; otherwise it releases while CAM is focused. Closing CAM releases control; a stalled sender expires after 500 ms.
- Restart camera service
- Use the error-banner action after a stopped service. It returns disconnected and released, without retrying mod installation. Connect again deliberately.
- Local failure logs
- The original service failure is saved as logs/camera-service-*.txt. A native bridge from an older build requires an FH6 restart.
FILE MODS
Install with a way back.
Browse complete and partial camera-file variants, review the source, and keep an exact restore point.
Find the variant
Open Mods and choose a folder containing ZIPs or extracted mods. Background scanning lists variants with
CameraPhysics.xml
,
CameraSettings.ini
, or both. You can keep using camera controls while scanning.
Progress and warnings explain unreadable entries or scan limits. Large mixed folders skip application and dependency folders; changing folders cancels the previous scan.
Review & install
Review the selected source and file pair. Installation preserves the original bytes and backs up the exact installed files. An XML-only or INI-only mod keeps the other currently installed file.
Use the restore action to return to the previous files. Keep the app’s
backups
folder.
Fully restart FH6.
Required after installing or restoring a file mod. The reminder does not prove the game loaded the files. Camera angle and FOV edits remain live.
Keep the shot.
Clear the desktop.
The compact Stream Panel keeps Camera, Fly Free and FPV Drone controls close without ending your session.
A compact control surface
Reveal the pinned panel with Ctrl + Alt + S . Use borderless or windowed FH6; an ordinary topmost window cannot reliably cover exclusive fullscreen.

14 common questions
Is this a finished public release?
This is the 0.15.0 community preview. Use a parked first session to confirm your FH6 build, camera view and controller mapping. CAM includes live framing, Fly Free and FPV Drone, with support for the world and Estates. Game updates and individual devices can affect compatibility.
Why can’t I arm or resume flight?
Prepare the intended mode and capture a fresh origin. For Xbox FPV Mode 2, hold the left stick fully DOWN and confirm live throttle reads 0% before clicking Arm drone; keep it down while arming. A spring-centered stick at center is about 50% throttle, not 0%, so it prevents arming. For the RT throttle layout, fully release RT and center both sticks; pulling the left stick down does not lower throttle. Center the other rotation axes and release Menu before pressing it again. Saving settings, input learning, stale input or reconnecting leaves flight locked until you resume deliberately.
Why does zero throttle make the drone fall?
FPV uses an Acro model. Throttle commands thrust, not speed or altitude. With RT released there is no throttle command, but gravity remains active. Pitch and bank direct the thrust; momentum and drag affect the resulting speed. Centering the rotation sticks does not automatically level the drone.
Why do different throttle positions feel equally fast?
Check the mapped output and the live throttle percentage for a gradual sweep. A low Maximum speed ceiling can hide differences in thrust. FPV Maximum speed 0 selects Automatic with a 100 native-unit/second ceiling. A mapped USB throttle axis owns throttle; Space cannot override it.
Will any USB radio or controller work?
The device must expose a Windows joystick/gamepad input device or XInput through its driver. A USB plug alone does not guarantee support. Use the radio’s PC joystick mode. Proprietary DJI modes, remappers and other vendor-specific drivers are not automatically supported. Compatibility must be tested with the actual hardware.
Why did my Xbox mapping change after reconnecting?
XInput identifies player slots rather than physical controller serial numbers. Select the Xbox / XInput entry assigned by Windows. If the pad returns in another slot, select that slot and apply or customize its layout. Two pads assigned the same slot share the slot profile. Existing saved mappings are preserved until explicitly changed.
Can the controller also move my car or open FH6 menus?
Yes. CAM does not suppress the game’s input. Park safely and use separate or unbound driving controls while flying. Shared Menu, B, stick and trigger bindings can also be read by FH6. Confirm the behavior with your own setup before a flight.
Why didn’t the camera mod change movement immediately?
CameraPhysics.xml and CameraSettings.ini are installed on disk. Fully restart FH6 after installing or restoring them. The restart reminder does not prove that the game loaded the files, and disk hashes cannot prove visible in-game behavior. Camera angle and FOV adjustments are separate live controls.
Can I fly through scenery or across the whole map?
There is no collision detection. The current camera is constrained to 300 native units on each axis from its captured origin. Release and capture a new origin when you relocate. Distant scenery, game camera classes and scene transitions still need in-game testing.
Do the preview and screenshots show live FH6 gameplay?
No. The desktop app’s Three.js car illustrates framing and the flight diagram illustrates orientation. The interface screenshots on this page use demo data. The interactive camera lab is also an illustration, and the cinematic scenes are generated launch artwork. Judge final framing in FH6.
Why is the Stream Panel hidden behind the game?
Use borderless or windowed FH6 for a desktop overlay. An ordinary topmost desktop window cannot reliably appear over exclusive fullscreen. Ctrl + Alt + S reveals the compact panel. Switching into the panel keeps the camera session.
What should I do after a camera service failure?
Use Restart camera service in the error banner. The app comes back disconnected and released, so reconnect deliberately. It never retries a mod installation automatically. Retain the original camera-service failure log in the logs folder. Restart FH6 when switching away from an older native bridge.
Which folders should I keep when upgrading?
Keep live-presets for camera presets and history, flight-views for location views, studio-data for device mappings and preferences, and backups for exact mod restore points. Close older CAM windows before opening the new version. Keep all DLLs and supporting resources beside the EXE in a writable folder.
Does CAM need a phone, RealCam or another camera tool?
No phone or RealCam dependency is used. Close Estate Judge, RealCam and other camera tools before connecting so their hooks do not compete. The former native legacy loader, Full setups and standalone Telemetry page are no longer part of the active workflow.
