then you have to enter "Ground view mode" by hitting your mapped key, and seeing the system message of the view mode change.

Yep, mostly when aiming at PTs but had it happen with tanks too. I thought ground fiew was on when in a GV. Is that not true?

Post by: llama on October 06, 2004, 04:29:34 PM: OK, this is news to me.

Is there a detailed description of what Ground View is anywhere?

How does one get out of Ground View once you get into it?

Is Shift-F4 the default mapping of Ground View?

Thanks,
Llama

NO there is no "Default" you have to map it manually.

it is like full medium and short range view respectivly.

goto setup / controls / keyboard mapping in there choose "view" and scroll to graound range view or something similar.

on the keyboard above choose shift and F4 then hit set key

then ehwn in a GV hit shift F4 in game and you will get a ssystem message if it is mapped right.

remember to go back to shift F2 or F1 when in a plane

Post by: Wurger on October 07, 2004, 11:41:07 AM: What is the difference then between Full View and Ground view? Doesn't full view include the stuff you see in ground view?

Ground view is basicly the Shift-F1 short view, with ground features rendered all the way out to the terrain drawing range.

Post by: Jackal1 on October 07, 2004, 07:09:46 PM: OK, I guess this is off topic a bit, but still has do to with views.
Since AH2 came out I can no longer see rounds from fleet guns. I can`t see rounds while inflight from fleet to base, nor can I see rounds from guns to base or another vessel while in gun position. Same is true from a shore battery. Is there a cure for this?

Post by: mechanic on October 07, 2004, 10:14:39 PM: nope, think they just threw the big projectile tracers out seeing as they were not so easy to animate realisticly.

i think they need to make a sound file for air disruption, so if they are coming your way, you will here and maybe even feel the disturbace to the air.

although you would not have much chance to avoid them if you heard them and they were going to hit you ; o)_
