Couple of questions/quality of life issues

[Mohamengina]

These are pretty obscure parts of the game so hopefully someone can help me.

How do you enable a setting to latch onto planes/units in the F10 map once you've clicked/selected them? The game used to let you click on a plane/unit in the f10 map and it would stay selected even if you went into another view and came back to it. It was way easier to enter ground target coordinates into planes when you don't have to constantly click on a unit.

Secondly, is there a way to make sure you can see all the explosions from your weapons hitting targets? Sometimes the camera will go back to your plane just before a weapon impacts a target which is really annoying.

 

Thanks.

Yea we lost that ability some time ago, I don't know if its even possible now.

That is also something we don't have any control of, I usually try to bring F11 camera from some airfield (if it is close) to the site where my target is, so that way I can see explosions and target site.

I usually hit F6 to view the weapons falling/ flying to target, then before they connect, hit Lctrl + F11 to get the free view cam on the position when the buttons were pressed.

Brilliant. I might just bind the L control and F11 view button to something.

 

Thanks.

I have a gaming kb made by logitech. There are several keys that can do macros of multiple pressed keys. For example a screenshot or start a recording. Lctrl + F11 would definitely work.

I usually just bind one set of buttons on my joystick for views - I can just add a modifier for the left control and f11 view.
