Instead of messing around with the config, I would suggest to write a custom MM patch. The whole point of MM is to modify config entries without editing the original file

In this case, you are looking for the Module "MuMechModuleHullCameraZoom", which contains the value "cameraMode". There are 9 different modes which come with different filter:

Normal = 0,
DockingCam = 1,
BlackAndWhiteFilm = 2,
BlackAndWhiteLoResTV = 3,
BlackAndWhiteHiResTV = 4,
ColorFilm = 5,
ColorLoResTV = 6,
ColorHiResTV = 7,
NightVision = 8

The booster cam comes with "cameramode = 7". AFAIK the only option which doesn't got the crosshair and provides a "better resolution", would be "normal", so let's write a MM patch for this:

@PART[hc_booster]:AFTER[HullCamera]
{
	@MODULE[MuMechModuleHullCameraZoom],*
	{
		@cameraMode = 0
	}
}

The patch will change both cameras on the booster cam to "normal" mode, just create a textfile somewhere within your GameData directory, name it however you like but put the extension .cfg on it. Copy&Paste the patch into your file, save it and enjoy your crosshair free cam

That is pretty cool! Thank you for this. I should learn how to create MM files... Where do you suggest I start?

It is C#

How did you translate all the other stuff without code changes? Did you just edit the config files?

If you can wait a few hours, I can do the code changes, send you a pre-release to make a proper translation (with a "localization.cfg" and "autoLOC" tags) and than we open a PullRequest for @linuxgurugamer?

I can start working on it in one or two hours and it shouldn't take too long.

Finally!  the stupid "Activate Camera" its now into Chinese!!! Your project is successful！

Thanks for Ur hard work ! Buddy ! @4x4cheesecake

Can you add a feature, that I can see multiple cameras at once?

Thank you.

[linuxgurugamer]

Sorry, no.  If someone were to submit a PR with the change, I'd gladly accept it, but I'm just keeping this mod running, not really adding anything to it on my own.

How can you use the Launch Camera on the pad? I am assuming I am missing something, but in order to use it, doesn't that mean it needs to be attached to the craft you are launching?

Been a while, but you could mount it on a small rover and then position the rover where you want it 

[theJesuit]

You could attach and offset from a launch clamp, or launch another vessel with the camera on wheels earlier and move it to a 'safe distance'.

Peace.

1.7.1?

It still works, if this is your question.

[MikeZDB]

Yes it works in 1.7.1, but if you have the Distant Objects mod, the , parts are correctly show but activation shorcuts didnt work (almost for me), can anyone confirm the same problem? I solved it unistalling Distant Objects Mod and works perfect.

[garwel]

Has anyone experienced issues with the picture freezing when you press F2 to hide UI while the camera is active? I wanted to make a grainy screenshot, but it just doesn't seem to work for me. Might be a conflict with one of the other mods (e.g. Camera Tools, ProbeControlRoom or something else).

KSP 1.7.1 with Hullcam VDS 0.1.13

Is there a way to increase the max zoom of a camera?

Modifying the configs of course

well, is not working to me, i cannot see the parts in the utility tab, only one cam, the cardboard one and is not working... i guess because RPM is not updated...

I've tested all the cameras.  If you are playing career, you won't see them all in the beginning.

and I have no idea what you mean by "cardboard one", please specify a name

I think he means the "Basic Hull Camera Deluxe". I have the same problem. The only camera i can see in the utility tab is that "Basic hull camera Deluxe".

Are you using Filter Extensions?

what happens when you search for “hullcan”?

I don't see anything when I type "hullcam". I also used one of the camera's in a craft... which didn't load because it was missing the camera. (Fixed it by removing the camera in the craft file though)

And what do you mean by "filter extensions"? Is it a mod?

Yes, it is a mod.  Search CKAN for it.  Here's the forum thread:

Sounds like you don't have it installed properly, if at all.

Please provide a log file

Indeed, that one. 

I did some tests:

a) Clean Install, New Sandbox game (So i can see all the parts), with latest HullCameraVDS and latest ModuleManager= All cameras are there.

b) Same install and game, with HullCameraVDS, ModuleManager, RPM + ASET props = only "Basic Hull Camera Deluxe" aka "Cardbox Camera" is showed, and is not working with RPM.

Conclusion, is RPM or ASET props wich are not been updated in a while... 

besides the problem with the cameras, RPM is partially fuctional, with some plugins have issues like ScanSat, but the screens are showed, the attitude sceen have some info flipped... Well, and i dont think RPM will be updated anymore...
