tyrspawn Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 As title. Is there anyway to freely fly aorund the map to look at terrain for mission editing?
159th_Viper Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 In the A-10C I assume? Just place the aircraft anywhere on the Map and hit the 'Fly' tab.

tyrspawn Posted November 12, 2011 Author Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) So.. I found this thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=73891 For those who are wondering you can locate a place n the map you want to see by just loading an empty new mission, flying it, then in the map screen going to where you want, left ctrl-f11, then use numpad / and * to zoom around Edited November 12, 2011 by tyrspawn
JEFX Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 One of the best way to explore the map for future mission making is to start the game with nothing in it and when the game starts it will default to the map (F10) view. From there one can scroll anywhere on the map and hit LCTL-F11 to be directly in the 3D world at that exact spot (and be able to explore with mouse and zoom functions (NUM/ and NUM*). It can be better, when in F10 view, to zoom all the way to the ground (where the NEW buildings are seen from up close) and then hit LCTL-F11 to be at ground level, for example. The advantage of this technique, is that one doesnt have to restart the whole game to look at the terrain, it is instantaneous from F10 to F11. hope this helps...

tyrspawn Posted November 12, 2011 Author Posted November 12, 2011 Yeah I pretty much figured the same after playing around for the past 20 minutes .Thanks.
nomdeplume Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 The scroll wheel can also be used to 'zoom' around the terrain without having to hold a key down. It basically works like an accelerator, i.e. scroll it one way and you'll start moving forward slowly. Keep scrolling that direction and you'll go faster. Scroll it the other way to slow down. Also LCtrl+F11 gives you the free camera from anywhere. So you can use it in the cockpit view to jump to the external free-roaming camera at the same spot. Or if you're viewing a vehicle with F7 hit Ctrl+F11 to be able to roam freely around the area.
