Pilot View

[Scud 0]

I normally just use the preset values but this time I need to restrict the pilots field of vision.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class ViewPilot

   {

                initFov=0.5500;

      minFov=0.3200;

      maxFov=0.6500;

    initAngleX=0;

      minAngleX=-5;

      maxAngleX=60;

    initAngleY=0;

      minAngleY=-90;

      maxAngleY=90;

          };

This is what I have at the mo.

Looking left and right is fine. It stops where I want it to but

looking up and down is not working proper.

I assume the X value controls this?

I need to restrict the pilot from looking down so far.

hmmm tough question I know but I thought someone would have an idea.

Scud - I'm not sure the config values work as they are

supposed to.

The other slight possibility is to 'tip' the pilot, so that straight

ahead (for the pilot) is actually looking up, relative to the

plane.

Yeah might have to do that even though it upsets the panning view.

As I said the Y values work fine.

Thanx for reply Footmunch

the direction of min is towards the skies, max towards the ground.

you might try this:

minAngleX = -60;

maxAngleX = 5;

Right on the money   beedee thankyou very much.

I would have never of thought that minus meant up.

Thanx again.
