hey guys the title says it all...

i just cannot get the camera to track any missiles with the default keystroke

RCtrl+Num+...

it just doesnt track anything...

but in the controls options menu, it does highlight this option when i keep the keystrokes pressed...so its assigned correctly...

any tips?is it bugged and not working correctly at the moment?or is it me doing something wrong?

yeah i thought about that already as well, and thats why i enabled padlock in the main options menu yesterday, and built a mission by myself where i made sure that all views and padlocks are enabled...

still, not working.

thx kripzoo but thats not working for me either...

the only view where it is working is when i am either in cockpit view, or in the F2 outside view....but this is not the result im trying to achieve, as it will then switch the view...

 

in the link ive posted above, there is the a10c trailer, where there is a scene which im trying to replicate....according to the maker, it was captured first from Strg+F3 and then RStrg+ Num +...which resulted in an tracking of the missile seemingly without switching views...

but thats just not working for me unfortunately, and im trying to find out what im missing.

Allright. For me its working and i think that scene at 2:39 on the video is made like this:

 

- Press the "lft ctrl+f11" so you get the free camera mode and then move the camera at a good distance from the aircraft.

 

-Then zoom with the camera "right ctrl+"*" key on the numpad (above the 9) so you can see the aircraft and then click the "," key on the numpad.

 

- Now the camera should be locked and tracking the plane.

And when it fires the mav, press again the "," key and it should now track the missile

 

I hope it works and it should, if u havent changed the keys in the options :)

well, i tried that a hundred times i think...i can padlock the plane from teh Strg+F11 and then Numpad+, keystroke...

but when it then fires the missile, and i hit again "Numpad ," , it will just toggle the padlock off, so im again only in the free camera mode where the plane quickly gets out of my view...if im fast enough to hit "Numpad ," again, it will only padlock the plane again and not the missile...

Well i tried it again in the editor and it works nicely.

 

Make sure u are using good amount of zoom (fov), (if that has something to do with it), and place the camera in front of the plane and press immediately "," key when the mav launches.

 

I cant help more. Maybe the settings in the options have something to do with this?

There was a command which on weapon release the camera changed view to the weapon you've releaced in slow motion but I can't remeber the command ....Was it cntrl + num 0 or num del

'Shadow'

 

Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days

well, with RCtrl+Num +, you get the camera ordnance tracking view...but, this will change the view to a totally different position....what im looking for is a way to have a smooth transition from first tracking the plane, and then once the rocket or bomb is released, to track that one...

as already said, i can do that with the a10c without a problem, just for demonstration purposes ive uploaded this to youtube...

can anybody get a similar result with the p51?
