DCS Camera Bookmark Calculator

Convert world-space camera coordinates to object-local bookmarks.
Supports batch processing, aircraft orientation, and manual spherical placement.

Center Reference (RCtrl+F2, right-click to open menu, select CC 0, then Camera to Clipboard)

Aircraft Orientation at Capture

Heading (deg)

Pitch (deg)

Bank (deg)

These values rotate world-space offsets into the aircraft's body frame.

From the DCS info bar: use the true (second) value from HDG, not magnetic. Enter PTH and BNK as shown.

Stationary, level captures produce the most accurate results due to rounding and unsurfaced values such as yaw.

Camera Positions (paste one Camera to Clipboard string per line)

Define a camera position using angle and distance from the aircraft center. The camera will point toward the aircraft origin. Azimuth 0 = directly ahead, positive = left. Elevation 0 = level, positive = up.

Azimuth (deg) 0=ahead, +left

Elevation (deg) 0=level, +up

Distance (m)
