Option to have F6 "weapon view" auto-switch to ctrl-F11 "free view" on impact


Recommended Posts

Posted

Currently when using the F6 view, upon weapon impact or destruction, the camera zooms out a little for like 1 sec and then returns to F1.

Would be nice to have an option where the F6 view automatically switches to ctrl-F11 free look.

 

(I only fly VR and normally don't use external views. Though occasionally I like to get a close up on what I'm blowing up and it can be a hassle for me finding the ctrl-F11 keys, while the F1 key is easy to find)

+1, I think it should do that anyway - I find that the camera is too quick to leave the F6 view.

I see no reason after selecting Ctrl+F6 if you are following a bomb till hit that you wouldn't want to remain there as opposed to returning to the cockpit.  For that you use F1 with no timing constraints.  On the other hand, timing the F11 is really tricky as some bombs may start a very high process (like the GBU-105) and you have to hit the F11 perfectly or you are back at the plane missing the in-situ action.

So you don't crash. Honestly I'd prefer it returning to F1. It's easy enough to press F11, and without adjusting the F11 camera there is nothing to see in many cases, especially with air to air kills. It all flies off screen.

 

On a side note there seems to be more ED feedback in the wishlist area. It's much appreciated.
