KDog35 0 Posted April 4, 2005 I'm trying to keep a fixed view from a chopper using the number pad but when I let off the key it snaps back to the forward position. I've tryed everything. How do I fix this, I'm running 1.96 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hardrock 1 Posted April 4, 2005 That's a bug (or "feature", however you want to call it) introduced by 1.90 (?). There are several long threads about it, you should be able to find them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Mc 0 Posted April 6, 2005 I thought hitting * ( on the numeric keypad..) unlocks the camera view...?? So those of you who are budding pilots, can use your stick for flight and HAT switch ( or numpad keys ) for views..?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's true, but actually only for keyboard pilots. If you use a joystick, the view will always center back even if you hit * (NumPad), you can't even use the mouse to look around when using a joystick. This bug was introduced for some reason, but never changed back to how it was earlier. I think they saw it as feature, as many people complained planes being too hard to fly and so they thought if they'd always center the view, it wouldn't be as easy to loose overview and crash . . . Actually it's different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KDog35 0 Posted April 6, 2005 very useful for Hueys w/MGs. I play with a friend online, I'm the pilot, he's the gunner. I just circle around some enemy while pluges them all. I like to look to the left out the door to see where I'm at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KAOSInc 0 Posted August 5, 2005 KDog35, I'll agree with you on how annoying it is!!! I've also asked in 3 other forums if someone knows of or can create a patch for that annoying problem! But I've had no success at all! Like Hardrock said, it was fine until the 1.90 patch! I'm too dumb to open the patches to see if I can find something as I don't know what I'd be looking for! I'd change the config for the joystick back to pre-1.90 if I could! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted August 5, 2005 Whilst I feel your pain, consider the forums, the weight of so many identical threads is laying heavy on its shoulders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
