Spectator Seating - Third Person Observation
« on: January 13, 2014, 02:01:04 AM »
Based upon CM god eye and F11 auto-tracking

Instead of relying upon joining a persons plane to watch a fight first hand, you can type in the following:

.watch <user 1> <user 2>

Doing so, it would give you a fixed-center tracking view in between both selected users....

When the two planes get close "let's say 3k" the tracker doesn't zoom in any further and will zoom out up until "let's say 8k" from each other giving you a constant panned center view that follows the fight from a respectable distance...

This arena option would only be enabled in the dueling arena and training arena...

Wouldn't you like to freely watch a good fight between two good pilots without relying on the film viewer or harassing people with plane join requests? Especially during KOTH, tournaments, and even training demonstrations...

 I used to do this with Godeye mode in the DA all the time!

  you simply need to map move forward and move backward and you can fly around and watch the fight and no one even knows you are there!

  While that may not work exactly as you wish it works goo enough to do as you wish.
