Views Question

[doright]

Is there a way to set a viewpoint at a particular spot then track your aircraft from there?

Two reasons I would like to do this are, watch my Huey approach to hover over the numbers, and view from a ground target towards in coming attacker (aka as my A10C).

You can use free camera mode- LCTRL+F11. Position your camera using mouse and * and / (to move forward and back). To track your plane from that view just press "NUMPAD ," with view pointing toward your plane.

You meant NUMPAD . (period), not comma. ;)

 

Unless European keyboards have a comma there.

Thanks now I r edugmacated. Good to know those beatings with a stupid stick weren't permanent.

 

I always surprise myself when I ask a question how often the answer is simple and right in front of me, I'm just not thinking in the right terms.

Still glad you asked the question... I had the FreeTrack view LCtrl+F11 down, but didn't think to do the "Lock View" using Numpad .

 

Good stuff, thanks for the info peoples.
