Justificus Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 Okay, I'm probably having a senior moment right now but I would swear we were able to go into external view (F2) and then use the Shift or Control or Alt key while moving the mouse to alter the angle of the external view to make screen shots more customized. I no longer seem to be able to do this. Am I mixing up my games? Having a senior moment? Just way off base? Or has something changed where we can no longer do this or I need to find some other key combo to do it? Thanks for any help you can give this aging brain...

Robin_Hood Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 I think once into F2 view, you had to press Shift F2, or something like that. I haven't tried it in while, so I don't know if it has changed. 2nd French Fighter Squadron

I haven't tried it in while, so I don't know if it has changed. Thanks for the reply. Shift+F2 will get you an external view of another friendly plane. If you mean get into F2, then press the Shift key (if that's the key) while moving the view with the mouse, that's what I'm talking about. But I can't get it to work anymore for some reason. :( Wondering if adding some of the VR stuff or new planes' keys additions, for example, caused this to be altered some how... I miss it. :cry: Justificus System Specs:i7 4970K @ 4.8, GTX 1080 SC, 32GB G.Skill DDR 2133,Thermaltake Level 10 Full Tower Case, Noctua NH-D15 6 Cooler, Win 10 Pro, Warthog, CH Pro Pedals, CH Throttle Quadrant, Oculus, 1 32" & 2 19" Monitors Modules Owned: A-10C I+II, Ka-50, FC3, F-86, Mig-15, Mig21, UH-1H, Mi-8, CA, P-51D, BF-109K-4, FW-190 D-9, Hawk, NTTR, M-2000C, SA342, F-5E, Spit Mk.

Robin_Hood Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 Alright, I just checked. Go into F2 view, then press Alt + F2. Now you can rotate the camera on itself as you wish. Another Alt 9 F2 keeps the new point of view but goes back to the 'rotate around plane' mode. In the Controls options, the command is referred to as "F2 Toggle local camera control". 2nd French Fighter Squadron
Justificus Posted November 6, 2016 Author Posted November 6, 2016 Thanks mate, I'll give it a shot shortly. I only remember having to hold down the alt key once in F2 view while moving the mouse to alter the view in free camera mode...

Justificus Posted November 6, 2016 Author Posted November 6, 2016 That was it! Thanks again. It seems the change that was made was to make it a toggle instead of requiring you to hold down the Alt key to pan around while in F2 view. Glad to see my brain hasn't deteriorated that far yet... :D Justificus System Specs:i7 4970K @ 4.8, GTX 1080 SC, 32GB G.Skill DDR 2133,Thermaltake Level 10 Full Tower Case, Noctua NH-D15 6 Cooler, Win 10 Pro, Warthog, CH Pro Pedals, CH Throttle Quadrant, Oculus, 1 32" & 2 19" Monitors Modules Owned: A-10C I+II, Ka-50, FC3, F-86, Mig-15, Mig21, UH-1H, Mi-8, CA, P-51D, BF-109K-4, FW-190 D-9, Hawk, NTTR, M-2000C, SA342, F-5E, Spit Mk.
