Views, head tilt and pan
« on: September 26, 2008, 10:03:11 AM »
With all the talk about the the views and head movement in the F6F after the 2.13 install I started wondering about manual head tilt and pan.  I did a search of the forums and found that both Hubsonfire, http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,222246.msg2680481.html#msg2680481and Saxman, http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,179233.0.html have started threads on this subject but neither thread were really discussed much, so I decided to bring it up again.  It would be nice to be able to manually adjust the amount of head tilt and pan in each view even if it was a few degrees giving us the ability to look around cockpit obstructions or give us a better angle to look at the instruments.  Weather we were able to adjust then save the views or look around in views that are already saved I think the added abilities to pan and tilt the pilots head would be helpful. Looking back right at 145 degrees would give me a little extra peripheral view to the rear.  Or being able to move my head position all the way to its highest position then tilting it down a few degrees could help me see over the cockpit.  What do you guys and gals think?


(I understand this will do nothing for the current Hellcat view problems, also I know Pyro has mentioned the Hellcat views will be fixed in an up coming patch.)

We already have an extremely superior view system. And to stay on top, we need to continue adding a few more features here and there.

Yes. :aok

Yes, this would be nice.  If I understand what you're saying, it could take quite a lot of getting used to (in terms of setting your views), but once that's done it sounds like it would be excellent.
