Why no ChasePlane in MSFS yet?

Microsoft/Asobo delivered a closed camera system nowhere near prior offerings. As it stands today, we can’t tap into it to make it great. The API is NOT accessible to us or anyone else outside of Microsoft.

What has //42 done to try and get ChasePlane in MSFS?

//42 shared a confidential document with Microsoft engineers detailing the necessary requirements for ChasePlane to be compatible with MSFS. After well over a year of not receiving a reply, a meeting was held at FSExpo 2023 with Jorg Neumann, Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator at Microsoft, to discuss this further.

Following the meeting, a call was conducted to explore the possibility, but it was ultimately deemed unfeasible. It was concluded that the best approach for all parties involved would be the development of a proper and functional Camera API. Such an API would not only benefit //42 but also other 3rd party developers looking for camera control options.
