While externally viewing my aircraft, I cannot rotate my view with mouse - help! :-)

[Emryse]

I know that I used to be able to use my mouse / TrackIR to rotate the external view on my own aircraft, other aircraft, missiles, etc... but now, doesn't work.

 

Could someone please let me know if I need to assign my mouse axises for this functionality, and if so, specifically which ones?

 

Appreciate it! :thumbup:

Really? Nobody knows the answer to this? ;)

I was flying along and switched to external view to help pass the time. I was scrolling around with my mouse and to my surprise a smoke plum headed right at me...I fumbled in my panic (out of flares as I was RTB for ammo) I for some reason couldn't get myself back into the cockpit quick enough (F1 I know). I just grabbed the controls and pulled up hard, but not TOO hard and the TOW missile went right under me. It was the kind of missile maneuver that you only see work in the movies or HAWKS and I managed it in black shark.

 

Lucky to say the least...but a testament to that external mouse controls and it's usefulness.

 

I know hardcore don't use external views, but I just wanted to admire the blades whirling away hhehehe.

Tnx Viper, I was looking for this for days! I believe I've deleted mouse view settings.

Hm... strange. I don't have all those actions. Is it because I don't have TrackIR?

[Mirtma]

I've deleted mouse.lua, so I've got default settings back. And now is like Viper's picture.
