Pochi Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 Hi, Coming back to DCS after a while, I am trying to understand how external views are exactly working but I can’t find any description/ explanation of each F key function and sub-function ( using ctrl or shift). Any help would be appreciated, Best regards, Pierre
Exorcet Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 You can try opening the control menu while in flight, then pressing a key. It will bring you to the binding so you can figure out what each does. This is not a complete list: F1 - cockpit F2- external F3 - flyby F4 - external chase F5 - look at nearby external F6 - missile F7 - ground units F9 - ships F10 - map F11 - free camera / stationary camera / airbase camera F12 - static objects 2 Awaiting: DCS F-15C Win 10 i5-9600KF 4.6 GHz 64 GB RAM RTX2080Ti 11GB -- Win 7 64 i5-6600K 3.6 GHz 32 GB RAM GTX970 4GB -- A-10C, F-5E, Su-27, F-15C, F-14B, F-16C missions in User Files

Pierre the way to do this would be F5 and toggle through the different units then pan around. no other way that i know.

They change the type of chase view...

Hence, the warning about the list not being complete. I didn't feel like typing every single option out, so I just listed the general view type for each F key and mentioned that the controls list can be used to fill in what's missing. 2 Awaiting: DCS F-15C Win 10 i5-9600KF 4.6 GHz 64 GB RAM RTX2080Ti 11GB -- Win 7 64 i5-6600K 3.6 GHz 32 GB RAM GTX970 4GB -- A-10C, F-5E, Su-27, F-15C, F-14B, F-16C missions in User Files

In any external view you can press Ctrl-F11 which will free the camera and you can fly it around with the mouse. Use the scroll wheel to accelerate/decelerate. 1
