I'd like to tweak the axiz etx- as the camera is a bit offset when the camera gets closer. What do you mean by offset? not looking at the plane? or not following directly behind?

Nealius Posted August 28, 2022 Posted August 28, 2022 Has anyone figured out how to get a tracking shot of a launched weapon? Basically a Ctrl+F3 view but on a weapon rather than aircraft. The Ctrl+Num+ (toggle tracking launched weapon) function does not appear to have any function.

I think what that function does is switch to weapon view on launch. So you're flying along in the cockpit view, if you toggle that function on, when you launch a weapon it will automatically switch to the F6 view. The best I've come up with what you are after is headtracking hardware, and the use of time deceleration. Slow time down, use a headtracker to follow the missile, then speed it back up again in editing, to achieve something like..... Edited August 31, 2022 by jonsky7

It works with the free camera (F11/Ctrl F11) or the aircraft view (F2). With the aircraft view you might have to press Alt+F2 before you can lock on the weapon. I guess it also works with the other vehicles view (F7, F9) Edited October 15, 2022 by Eight Ball Find The Links To All My Mods And Liveries Here (in the gallery)

Talyn Posted December 5, 2022 Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) Hello! Quick question. Is it possible to relocate the F4 camera (RSHIFT + RCTRL + NUM Keys) in a track file from a multiplayer server? I can reposition the F4 camera from the client track but sadly, the replay is useless at that point. (Apologies if this has been asked before, I couldn't find an answer) Edited December 5, 2022 by Talyn Wrong key combination

Nealius Posted December 19, 2022 Posted December 19, 2022 I found a replacement method for that F4 camera which works with multiplayer. Rctrl F2. Use mouse to rotate about centerpoint. Move centerpoint via normal numpad keys. You will need to turn off camera model collision in View.lua in the .trk file.

You can use left alt + f2 to change the focus point in the f2 camera. You can use right control + the * and / keys on the numpad to change the FOV or the camera shot. Right shift + * or / will zoom the camera in and out. Left shift + F2 will turn off aircraft labels. This allows you to take more dynamic shots that look less like the stock F2 shots.

Levantiec Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) Hello! Can you advise on a free camera (ctrl+f11), is it possible to focus (or lock) it on the plane? I have trackIR but for example, when i click on (Numpad .), it stops moving, but focus on plane (it work only at the ground and i take view like airshow); and when i press (ctrl+f3), it also makes 1 flyby and stays behind. And also regarding Motion blur, is it possible to configure it to work on views (f1, f2, f4, f5), as on the f3 view? For example, is it possible to make a blur with a static camera so that only the background is blurred. Thanks Edited September 6, 2023 by Levantiec

Mistermann Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 I come here from time to time whenever I see changes to this topic. Since I'm not an avid follower, I may have missed something over the past 10 years and 12 pages. Is there a central source of truth for all DCS camera controls somewhere? I have tried several suggestions made in this thread with no luck at all. I've seen reddit threads suggesting specific keystrokes that also don't work. So, for clarity to anyone looking for interesting camera angles (especially when new ones get introduced), is there a wiki or repository somewhere that's maintained with all working camera angles and corresponding keystroke commands?
