its a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
no more clues.
-
Which one of the forward views are you referring to?
-
3
-
looking directly ahead through the gunsight there are a certain number of views. each one is adjustable and can be saved to a different position. it does a good job simulating the pilot rapidly changing his point of view by moving his head around the cockpit to perhaps look forward along each side of the nose or through the gunsight.
akwabbit is incorrect (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

4:
Default
forward hat
forward right
forward left
5 if you include forward-up too.
But you cannot see the gunsight with that one.

Wait,
I know the answer.

f4udoa is incorrect. in fact f4udoa's callsign is also incorrect.
f4UDOA needs a name change to F4UDUI

Hmm lets see,
Forward
Forward Zoom
Forward Left
Forward Left Zoom
Forward Right
Forward Right Zoom
Forward Up
Forward Up Zoom
Forward Down
Forward Down Zoom
Forward Down Left
Forward Down Left Zoom
Forward Down Right
Forward Down Right Zoom
Forward Up Left
Forward Up Left Zoom
Forward Up Right
Forward Up Right Zoom
And for buffs? Include Forward gun position in all the above positions.
And Upper turret for all the above
And Lower turret for all the above
And Bombadier position in both normal and zoom mode.
Answer? 74 forward view positions.
And no doubt, I've left out a few others (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Hehe nash.... Not our fault Citab doesnt know how to ask a question. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
-
In the P-51 alone I counted 76 (rapid transition rate may have boogered the count a tad). I didn't change the head position at all, except in the z-axis (forward and back)

The question was how many forward views are there in aces high.
I am predicting that the answer will be
The number of aircraft in aces high + the positions of those aircraft + the movement positions. You can move yourself left and right, up and down of the nose by using the movement keys. I yave them mapped as
Page Up
Page Down
Home
End to move my forward view around the cockpit while facing forwards.
There has to be in excess of 100-200 forward positions in each aircraft if you count each one.
So I am guessing
35 + AG + FG + VP = V
AG = Aircraft gunners
FG = Fleet Gunners
VP = View Positions
That would be my guess

If your talking purely forward straight down the nose view then 4.
regular
regular zoomed
alternate (forward on the hat or KP 8)

Pure straight forward and not counting zoom:
2
Default view and "forward" view.
I use both of these. My default view is adjusted up in the seat for my special gunsight and moved forward so I can only see the minimum of instruments I need for dogfighting. I have another key mapped to the "forward" view that gives me the same view, but adjusted back and down to give me a full view of the intrument panel.
If you guys are interested in my "adjusted" upwards sight, you can grab it on my web page. http://users.andara.com/~sconrad/ (http://users.andara.com/~sconrad/)

If you hit F8, then scroll/Pan, the number of forward views is infinite. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
-
"Infinite" is a bit high. I'd say about half that many.

LOL popeye, point well taken. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

huh ? where do we meet for the Classes ? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/confused.gif)

Haven't any of you studied? The answer is 42. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) We will need some mice and a whale to verify that though.

nope
not counting zoom or pan.
-
the answer is 10 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
10 individually savable directly forward looking views.
1. normal (no buttons pushed)
2. keypad 8
3. keypad 8+1
4. keypad 8+2
5. keypad 8+3
6. keypad 8+5+2
7. keypad 8+4+1
8. keypad 8+6+3
9. keypad 9+1
10.keypad 7+3
in some aircraft 9+1 and 7+3 are only one view save setting. so the answer can be either 9 or 10 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) fdski wins (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
