Free Camera ????????

[ex81]

Hello,

in some videos of missions I saw camera positions which I was not able to retrace.

Can anybody give me a hint where I could read about the "free camera" possibilities.

F11, but then you have to move it to your position, i'm sure there are also some other strokes, some of them are in the options

Left ctrl+F11 (default) puts you into a free cam relative to your last camera position. i.e. If you're in first person the free cam will spawn in the cockpit, or if you hit F2 to see your wingman and then ctrl+F11 the camera will spawn there. Also mouse wheel increases and decreases the velocity of the camera, so you can "fly" the camera.

And while in free camera, rctrl / and rctrl * will zoom in and out like an actual camera lens, which is what you see in many of the trailers to give the impression of terrain rushing by or aircraft being in closer proximity to each other than they actually are (great for dogfight footage :) )

While I haven't used my Space Navigator (3D Mouse) while in flight, I have used it during playback. It is an extremely easy and smooth way to navigate and view from every conceivable angle.
