Camera jiggle on permanently

[hopeless]

Hello, I know this has been talked about before - there doesn't appear to be a permanent way to have cockpit jiggle on by default. I think it's such a great feature which adds more realism to A-10C. The only problem is I sometimes forget to switch it on.

 

Has anyone managed to figure out how it keep it on? If not can I ask ED if you guys can implement jiggle in the options menu in a future patch.

 

I didn't know whether I should post this here or in the wishlist forum.

 

Many thanks.

I agree with this

[diveplane]

i would love to see a hollywood action camera implemented

sit back enjoy the action.

this thread is about the camera jiggle. what are you talking about "hollywood action camera"?

 

good lord, was there another incursion by the call of duty/battlefield kids again?

[leafer]

I think he may have meant ability to easily place or attach camera anywhere and on any object or more than one camera per scene. I'd love to try making a movie if one of these days I can figure out how the hell to use all of their camera modes they have.

Steady on now 213 no need for that. :(

Save the track and fraps the action from different angles. Then combine the action with your favourite movie making software.

never used camera jiggle until I saw this thread, now I've tried it I like it.. subtle and does add something.

 

Definitely make it an option to set permanently on please.

[Frostiken]

Christ I forgot this feature even exists.

[JJGray]

I didn't even know it was there, until today. I tried it, and I like it. It could be nice to move that to the OPTIONS menu.

Thats new for me as well. How can it be turned on?:book:

Lshift+J is the only way at the moment at the start of every mission but having to think of so many other things I tend to forget.

The only problem I have with the camera jiggle (in the 1st person cockpit view) is that it is just a constant jiggle and it doesn't reflect the motion of the plane at all. I mean, when just sitting on the runway, it shouldn't be jiggling around. I wish that it would react to the motion of the plane and turbulence. Especially when taking off and landing, if it reflected the bumps on the runway. That would add to the immersion immensely. It should be part of the check box in the options for the camera reacting to the G forces or whatever they call it in the options menu.

I'd like to see a on/off option too, i'll add this request to the ED devs wishlist thread in the beta forums :)

[LostOblivion]

Are there not camera effects from G-forces in the game already? :)

[Rider1]

Just tried it. That wasn't a very comfortable experience. Like my monitor was going bad or something. :) Plus, how would you ever hope to to make those precision gun shots with the pippers jiggling too? :joystick:

That would be great! Many thanks.

 

I was thinking you guys could expand on the jiggle in the next release or a patch for A-10C: The faster you fly, the more jiggle is added. I'm not sure if it works like this at the moment.

 

It would cool, when you're at the limits of a plane you can hear it and you can almost feel it too.

[Newt]

Like I said, it should be there, when the plane would actually be bumping around. If the plane is in nice smooth level flight, it would not bump around much.

 

There are some examples of times in these videos, in which there are times of smooth flight and times of bumpiness.

 

This one is just a good one for A-10's:

 

And this one has a good example of when it should be bumpy at 2:04:

 

Yes, there are "g-force" camera movements, but we're talking about it being a little more bumpy than the game's slight swaying.

 

As for being bumpier the faster you fly, that won't always be the case. You could fly faster and it could still be smooth.

cheers for the links but in the first vid if you look at 4:07-4:13 the a-10 pilot is straight and level and there's quite a lot of vibration inside and outside the cockpit.

 

edit: how about adding some extra jiggle when firing the GAU :D

Oh sure, there can still be rough air at times. But it isn't always jittering. In that same video at :50 (I use this one so one doesn't have to wait for it to buffer to get to 5 minutes in lol) on the right side the plane is jittering a little, but on the left side, top and bottom videos, are both mostly smooth. Point is, in my opinion, there should be more "force" effects and vibration, but only when there should be. If this is possible, of course.

 

Also, it probably should be slightly toned down or have the option to have it the way it currently is since the extra motion might make some feel sick.

 

And yes, I agree, there should be some when the GAU is firing. Even the pilot in that video commented on how it felt and vibrated when it was fired.

 

He said "...the aircraft shakes pretty violently, it feels like the aircraft is about to explode the first time it happens to you."

 

And, judging by the camera when they show it happening, it definitely seems powerful.

 

Probably because it is. :D

 

Edit: I post this after I stumbled on it. I know that when I get my hands on whatever the next DCS jet is, I'll be doing some of this:

Btw, Lord Vader makes an appearance at 2:23. Darth Vader is French... Who woulda thought...
