Title: problems with film viewer
Post by: Sonicblu on July 03, 2008, 12:30:24 AM
Isn't the normal defalt view in the viewer window supposed to be in the cockpit.  I can't get back to a normal view in my cockpit when i review my films

It is always a view from behind the plane. Even when i hit the defalt view key. What may I be doing wrong. I do remember using my arrow keys one time while I was viewing a film to look around. I hit f10 to set the view and i have never been able to go back. Any help would be appreciated.

I think if you hit the "home" key it reset the view you are in to the default view.

ya if you use the recorded view thats what it will show you. I'd try turning off the recorded view, reset all my views, then try it again.

Hit the home key to return the view to the default view, and then press F10 to save that view.  Now whenever the view changes and goes back, it should go to that new saved view.

What donkey said.  Hold home key and press f10.  A head position set can be saved in the film viewer exactly the same way it's done in the game (arrow keys, page up/down, f10 to save).  Also, you can set head positions while playback is paused, and you can turn off the number_lock key to stop windows from "dinging" when you use the number pad to look around.

I hate to hijack this thread but I'm wondering why so many of my films show up as it being dark, or dusk, when before they were in full daylight?
Any ideas?

I don't know if this info helps, but...From my experience, the "clock" in the film viewer is always running forward when you open up a film no matter what you are doing with the playback.  Arena setting have the arena clock skip from 1800 to 0600.  Films are not designed to reproduce that.

So if you started recording a film at 17:45 hours on the arena clock.  The film playback will continue to get darker and darker, the longer you have the viewer open.
