Santus Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 You are correct, it is just that my preference for the past 20 years is Ctrl + Shift and these habits die hard! Shouldn't the input languages hotkey be Alt-Shift by default? I know it is for JP/EN. - Livery Catalog - Youtube channel
CL30 Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 Is there a way to increase/decrease camera altitude without changing the view "spot" with the mouse? Meaning, I want the camera to travel in a straight line, and then increase/decrease altitude (like a helicopter) while still looking straight ahead. i5-9600k @ 5.0 GHz| Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master | 32 GB Trident G.Skill RAM @ 3200 MHz | Thermaltake Floe Riing 360 AIO | Samsung EVO 860 500 GB SSD | Crucial MX500 500 GB M.2 | SanDisk 1TB SSD | EVGA RTX 2080 Ti Ultra Gaming | EVGA G3 850W Gold PSU | Thermaltake View 71 TG Snow Edition | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | MFC Crosswind pedals | Oculus Rift-S [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Bucic Posted July 26, 2020 Author Posted July 26, 2020 hi all, I remember there being a way to start-stop recording a track from the keyboard , but i can't find it... is it gone? I'm sure it's not gone. Just wanted to make sure you're not expecting such a recording session to be recorded into a single track. I.e. there's no 'recording pause/resume' in DCS.

Yes, but, IIRC, it resets camera rotation to leveled, retaining just the camera heading. For the command please refer to the key commands list in the game docs. It involved numpad 2 and RCtrl IIRC.

SorelRo Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 Hi guys, any talented and artistic guys that can help a fellow with a few screenshots? Cheers and thanks,
RADARCH58 Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 Sure.What sort of thing are you looking for? Easy to to- why not do it yourself?
9thHunt Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 Stupid question, but how do you even take screencaps in DCS? I checked the input settings and the keybind is apparently locked as "SYSREQ," which doesn't exist on my keyboard.

Nealius Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 SYSREQ and Print Screen are the same key. Depending on your country, your keyboard may have both labels on the key, or just one. Here in Japan, standard keyboards only say "Print Screen" and no "SYSREQ," while the DCS controls page always says "SYSREQ."
Flailing Falcon Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Hi I'm new to the forum, I orginally asked this in the how to forum but here may be better. So I'm wondering if the Ctrl + Shift + Numpad keys to pan the movement round the aircraft, can be used on an AI aircraft or vehicle or am I out of luck. Is this case and is there a workaround?

If you're talking about the F4 view (in which case it's Right Ctrl + Right Shift + Numpad), It works only with planes and helos. You must be spawned in an aircraft in order to use it tho, it wont work if you're in spectator role Find The Links To All My Mods And Liveries Here (in the gallery)

F2 is a floating cam, F4 is "attached" to the aircraft. Like a gopro if you wish 1 Find The Links To All My Mods And Liveries Here (in the gallery)

The Numpad position keys don't work from multiplayer server tracks.
jonsky7 Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) In free camera view, when pressing "Numpad Del" for the padlock view to an aircraft, there's some kind of boundary that moves the camera out of the way if the aircraft gets too close. Anybody know how to remove it, perhaps like the terrain boundary trick? Edited April 30, 2021 by jonsky7

I'd round up the camera-related lua files and text search the #$#t out of them for "free" The only other options I can think of are: 1. Manual tracking 2. Cheating with a combination of higher camera distance but narrower FOV (zoom).

REDEYE_CVW-66 Posted May 4, 2021 Posted May 4, 2021 How is the extremely low camera angles achieved, where it looks like the cam is almost at the tarmac, looking up at the aircraft? Example;

Ktulu84 Posted May 9, 2021 Posted May 9, 2021 Hi all! If anyone at DCS World by Eagle Dynamics could help us, DCS movie makers, with this little issue: Since the release of 2.7, when using the LCtrl+F11 camera tool, I can't set my speed (using the mouse wheel) while being in pause, anymore... Now, I have to catch up with my planes each time I want to look for an angle and record a shot... This is a bit annoying unfortunately, and makes us loose some time and potential... Any advice is welcome. Do you think it's something that we could get back on future updates? Huge thanks for all the incredible work you've done so far! I personally can't wait to fly the Mossie!! Cheers from France ++ 1
