Title: view keys for diff planes
Post by: onyer6 on January 10, 2000, 02:59:00 PM

I'm new here so bear with me. I noticed my "F" keys allow chase view and my hat allows front view of the B-17. The "F" keys do nothing with the fighters? I've done nothing with the setup as yet.
Beautiful artwork, though!

WW2 veteran combat pilots, in a recent poll, preferred a reset button to realistic flight mode.

Only Bombers (currently B-17) and Transports (currently C-47) have a external view.

The view keys are per default set to:

F1 - cockpit
F2 - interior view
F3 - external view
F4 - chase view
F5 - point view (camera stops at current plane position)
F6 - bombsight (B-17 only)
F7 - snap view (view keys on numpad 'snap' into position)
F8 - pan view (view keys on numpad move head around
F9 - instant view (no transition between head movement change)

Default view is (obviously) F1 + F7.

You can change views with numpad keys; also you can change head position with arrow keys and save that position with F10 key.

For further information the game play section on the AH site is highly recommended.

Thanks. Is this a diff setup. I remember seeing my fighter from the front in an earlier version of AH, ? Or is it too much single malt on my brain?

External view was removed from online use.
