Arne Anka Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 It is difficult to exactly see how a place looks just by looking at the map. Is there anyway to "explore" the game world without flying the chopper? Intel Duo E8500 | 4 Gb RAM | HD4850 x 2 Crossfire | Vista Home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeepeekai Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 You can use the external view CTRL+F11 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] And... Hum... Sorry for my english... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbird_242 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I think Arne means without starting the 'game' as in the actual flying world. I have asked this question a few times, and the answer is always no, but a little thing that I hadn't noticed that helps A LOT is the bar at the bottom with coordinates and ground level altitude ( the altitude is the altitude under the mouse). This can be used if you want to set a low level flight for example, without guessing heights and where valleys are etc, you can use that thing. Hope that helps Warbird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrin Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 But don't forget that the Lat/Long you find when you're "in game" are completely different to the Lat/Long of the Mission Editor.... Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warbird_242 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I downloaded tacview, but I can't find DCS terrain? Do you know how i get to it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazer Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) Uhm, google maps?? ;) If you mean in game, F11 is the only real option. Use Ctr+F11 to start the free camera at your aircrafts location. Use (numpad) * to go forward and / to go backwards. Use RightShift + * or / to go fast.

ED Team JimMack Posted July 31, 2009 ED Team Share Posted July 31, 2009 Uhm, google maps?? ;) If you mean in game, F11 is the only real option. Use Ctr+F11 to start the free camera at your aircrafts location. Use (numpad) * to go forward and / to go backwards. Use RightShift + * or / to go fast. There is another way, for use in simulating a FAC/observer on the ground. Place an object in a mission. When mission starts, press F12 to look at object. Press CRTL+F11 to get view from the object. You can move around the whole world at a speed of your choice. Having problems?
