seems like god mode F5-F8 isn't working right with the BowlMA seen this before when AH3 late beta and when 1st released
you can get a resemblance of it with F5-F8-F3
-
Think it was disabled in the MA, maybe because it can be used to spot tanks around the field???

That would be unfortunate, as you can't even check the base for B-29 takeoff opportunities anymore. F3 from tower doesn't help much when judging tree & hill coverage in the area.

didna see anything about diableing it in last update
-
Only thing I can get to work is mouse pan toggle that I've mapped to shift_H when I'm in F3 mode. F5 sets me in the grass and F8 has no effect on it.
-
I haven't fired up the game for a few days, but what you are describing sounds like what happens when you enable and activate CMEye mode. It drops you at ground level in the middle of the base. Maybe CMEye "god mode" got turned on in the arena settings and saved as part of the default settings.

It should always have been disabled in the MA, was it enabled in the Melee previously?

If you have done a .psave previously do a .pclear to remove the file then it should function as before.

At least for all the 11 years I have been here.

F3 then F8 works with the view keys.

Could you move around with your joystick using CME commands? I just verified its not enabled, so wondering if you are confusing fixed view where you just sit at the center of the field, can rotate but not move.

No, that doesn't work for me.

What we are talking about is indeed "Fixed View Mode" (as called per key mapper), by default F5.
With F5, followed by F8, we used to rotate and pan around a point centered on the base we are on (or plane, if on ground or if bomber, in the air). While doing that, view was always centered on that point. Of course that could be used to look for vehicles directly on base, but as you technically were still in tower, you couldn't use range vox or room text to relay that info.
It was more convenient to spot for a CV nearby. But for a B-29 flyer it's an extremely important tool to find a place to lift off from, especially for new maps, even more since AH III with it's more obstructed airfields.
Now all it does is planting your nose on the grass in the center of the base.

Ok now I understand whats going on.
BTW Fixed mode and gods eye are not the same thing.

It's just the terminology under which it has been known in the main arena all the years, I guess only very few players have ever used the real 'gods eye'.

Spend too much time making your charts and not enough time making a dictionary for Aces High terms Snail....shame on you :aok

Noticed that god mode was not working anymore with the new update. Hope it's a mistake. It was useful to look around a base when it was flashing to scan and then decide what to up to defend. :(
-
Do you mean in the MA or offline? God Mode/CM Eye has never worked in the MA.

The OP meant the "Fixed View Mode" (F5), which is known to the general populace of the MA as "God Mode". It is not related to the actual God Mode / CM Eye, which is commonly only being used of arena admins or (by special setup) on offline mode.

Is just a bug.
-
As many people as I see spawning and dying over and over to tanks on their field, you would think nobody uses it.
