Todt Von Oben Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Hi Guys! Before I bought OFF/BHAH I was watching a lot of videos on Youtube that I believe were from this game. I also see some of the latest screen grabs here. I've seen images of, like when you're looking down into your cockpit you can see your hands on the controls...and when there's a gunner standing in the back of a two seater, you can see him moving and firing the gun. Is that part of this game or another? I'm not seeing my own hands, for example. Haven't tried being a tailgunner yet but would like to. Don't see anything leading me to that job, though. Is it an option when you sign on to be part of a bomber squadron? Is there something else I need to download to make this happen, or is it part of the game I haven't found yet, maybe? How do you guys accomplish that effect? Thanks again in advance. TvO Quote
+Polovski Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Not all a/c have the pilot model in there but many newer ones do. Try another craft (e.g. Fok DVII, DFW, N11, N16 etc) Quote
gandi Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) yes that is part of the game, but not in every plane which is why you might not have seen 'your' hands and feet. aaaarg....beaten to the post by the demon typist again lol! Edited March 10, 2009 by gandi Quote
Todt Von Oben Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 Groovy! (Yes, I still use that word.) Thanks! Quote
Todt Von Oben Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 Okay! I got into a D-7 and Praise De Lord, I Gots HANDS and FEEEEEET! And now for something completely different... I think I remember someone on the old forum saying something about being able to get closer to or further back from the instrument panel, for a better view. And I sure could use a better view from the D-7. Is there a way to do that? Like: zoom in toward or out away from the instrument panel? As always, Thanks In Advance. TvO Quote
2Fish Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Longtime lurker, first time poster... Use [ and ] keys to zoom view in and out (if I remember rightly, it is persistent from mission to mission) Cheers 2F Quote
77Scout Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Use [ and ] keys to zoom view in and out (if I remember rightly, it is persistent from mission to mission)Cheers 2F The zoom is not persistant unfortunately. (It can be done but you have to edit the correct 'viewui' file.) Pretty easy to just hit the '[' key once or twice at the start of each flight. Two clicks is fully zoomed. Quote
Gous Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 And now for something completely different... It's......... Quote
Zommoz Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 The [ and ] zoom your entire image, i.e. they change your FOV. You can also move your eyepoint through a certain range in cockpit without affecting your view of the outside. This comes in handy for those like me without TrackIR. I mapped the keystrokes to the hats on my stick and can now look over the cowling or over the side etc. Move Back=Ctrl + Enter Move Forward=Ctrl + Backspace Move Up=Shift + Enter Move Down=Shift + Backspace Move Left=Ctrl + Shift + Backspace Move Right Ctrl + SHift + Enter Recenter=Ctrl + Shift + Space Quote
