This is a simple routine originally inspired by one done by Rhugouvi and posted at Combatace on 11/22/05. A few simple flaws made it sometimes unsuitable. Most of those are worked out here.

 

You can take photos ahead, straight down, or right and left side-looking views. Screenshot is forward looking view.

 

Non-mod: This is a routine made of commands native to the system. So if you wish to change it or call it your own and sell it, it is already yours. You don't need to notify me, be effusive in your gratitude or otherwise acknowledge the few minutes I spent doing this. I did it because Recon flights kick ass in Yankee Air Pirate missions and I needed it. Go play with and have fun.

 

*There are NO real recon birds yet. These are adaptations of aircraft native to WOV. I would hardly call them "mods". I just changed the loadouts, performance and drew some windows on fighters. They just allow the player or mission builder the ability to do things otherwise impossible. Drawing an RF? Take it. Like I said, you already own it.

Nice to see you fixed the pbs, and that you share it!

there is a real RA-5 on the way....

This is probably just me doing something wrong, but it doesn't work for me. I put the new commands into the *.ini file (control.ini, right?), and dropped the viewpoints.ini into the flight folder, but nothing changes. The numpad keys still do the same thing (snap view by default).

The new ViewList.INI has to be dropped into the Flight folder (so you did this right).

In this file, new views are defined with appropriate aim angles and key commands (numpad1 and so on).

But since those key commands are not mapped by default, you have to write corresponding lines in the appropriate INI file in the controls folder. This INI file is default.INI if you have not created a new command map.

Otherwise the INI file is the one you have created (eg MyControls.INI).

 

Anyway, the command INI file (in the Controls folder) should look like this:

Hope it helps. If you want to know a little more the way it works, you can have a look on the link in my sig.

Yeah, that's what I did, and it still does the same thing as without the new command entries (Snap view left, right, and up. Numpad 2 does nothing by default). I just got confused with default.ini and the folder name...

 

Edit: Wait, should it be in the default config file, my custom one, or does it not matter?

If you use a custom setting, which of course you do, put it in that file. I had some trouble with some of the keys being used in two places. This is not possible through the WOV window (which will over-write this mod) but is easy to screw up going through the INI. So, do a search for NUMPAD5 or whatever before you close it. Or you may push the 2 key to look down and find you have just ejected...in which case you still get to look down.

[Sky Captain 0]

I figured out what it was. Mostly it was me being dumb and not thinking to look to see if the game was using my control profile or the default one. And... Well, that's actually all of it.

[Guest zerocinco]

Okay. Now that we have that crap out of the way, get down low, put it on Wing Leveler (Shift-A), then hit the key and then Zoom out. A-afkjfd;lfjadl-mazing!!!!! Same on side look, etc. Take pictures. It's as good as a movie. No kidding.

 

Hey. If you are stupid enough, you can be a real fighter pilot!!!
