Can somebody help guide me?

[jasonstory44]

Two questions...I'm trying to get my setup and cockpit fine tuned.

 

First, can somebody point me to the camera controls so I can adjust the default view?

 

And two, is there a good explanation of the different views, both cockpit and external, so I can try and map them to some keys? I see people on youtube switch to excellent weapons and target views but can't seem to get them with the default F1-F12 setup.

 

Thanks, Jason

Just go to the controls section in options. The camera controls have their own sub-section, including the ones you seem to be missing as those use modifier keys.

There are also some pretty usefull settings in the options menu, (where you set-up your controls) like the zoom view, view weapons, ect.

The camera view that follows (like F2 view) a fired weapon is F6, but only works AFTER a weapon has been fired and the external views need to be activated in the options.

Is it usual for the follow weapon camera to go back to cockpit view when dropping a cluster bomb and it disperses? I never see it reach the actual target.

yes it is unfortunatly. There used to be a 3D representation of cluster bombs. But clusterbombs are taxing enough on perfomance as they are already. Maybe someday we see the return of the 3D representation.
