Wrench Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) How do I get the thing to point STRAIGHT DOWN only!!????? Here's the statment from the data ini, "liberated" from TMFs RF-4E: [Driftsight] ReferenceName= SystemType=EO_CAMERA CameraFOV=30.000000 CameraPosition=0.000000,4.062,-1.956 CameraYaw=15.000000 CameraPitch=15.000000 CameraRoll=15.000000 SightTexture=avq23sight1.tga EODisplayFlags=268435456 I'm asusming it's got something to do with the Pitch statement ... but, do I use 90 (which should be UP) or -90 (which, hopefully is DOWn!) screenie shows in-cockpit view, but looking forward; I need it straight down! (well, maybe angles slightly forward) Any and all help is GREATLY appriciated! (and will be recognized in the readme, as always!) Making the decals is sooooo much easier... wrench kevin stein Edit: yes, for those that guess what, I know it's in the wrong place, but we make do with the cockpits we have.

+ST0RM Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 Kevin, Did you try 180? I've expanded most of my cockpit views to better see over my shoulder and have used 120/-120. -Jeff Quote
FastCargo Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 Actually, I just had to deal with this while making the RS-70B....these 3 lines: CameraYaw=15.000000CameraPitch=15.000000 CameraRoll=15.000000 Are not used anymore for internal EO systems. It is now just one line: CameraAngles=0.0,-70.0,0.0 Yaw,pitch,roll in that order...use -90 and that should work. FC Quote
Wrench Posted December 11, 2010 Author Posted December 11, 2010 holy frijoles!! That works!! That is also the most disconcerting view I've ever seen in the game! The first time in 8+years playing this, that I actually started to experience vertigo!! I did have to "cheat" to get it to work (ie: has a fake radar -wait till you see the 'warming up screen'!!, perfect for the time period) excellent! many, many thanks FC!!! wrench kevin stein Quote
+Crusader Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 small mod I made more than a year ago...do you recognize that view Kevin ? Quote
Wrench Posted December 11, 2010 Author Posted December 11, 2010 can't tell you what terrain it is, but it sure looks (almost) like a bombsight! wrench kevin stein Quote
Wrench Posted December 11, 2010 Author Posted December 11, 2010 dr stranglove?? it does sorta look like a nuke flash wrench kevin stein Quote
+Crusader Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 nope the pattern of the camera .. its in a movie *think* about it .. LOL Quote
Fubar512 Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) Kevin, you must think in Russian......damnit, do I need to draw you a diagram???? Edited December 11, 2010 by Fubar512 Quote
Wrench Posted December 11, 2010 Author Posted December 11, 2010 Da! I get it now!! A bit slower than usual, this weekend! wrench kevin stein Quote
Fubar512 Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 There's always been one nagging question: What if Gant (Clint Eastwood) had thought in Latvian, instead????? Quote
Wrench Posted December 11, 2010 Author Posted December 11, 2010 then, he would have been attacked by eels! Everybody knows that!! wrench kevin stein Quote
Wrench Posted December 13, 2010 Author Posted December 13, 2010 which is EXAXTLY what Gant would have been saying!!! wrench kevin stein Quote
