Title: The new padlock
Post by: MANDOBLE on March 21, 2002, 03:03:32 AM

Is just excelent, but there is a problem:
While padlocking you can select any snapview except the current one. That is, when you are tracking an enemy at your five o'clock, you can choose any snap view except dead six one and so on.

Boy did I miss the memo on this one!  HT made the ultimate padlock!  Much better then before imo.  Just tried it out but didnt notice ur problem, I'll have to give it another try... for testing purposes of course!

Works fine for me Mandoble.

Awesome for formation flying.  Fly formation with someone and do a slow roll under him from one side to the next.  This padlock adds to the immersion factor and enhances AH artwork.

I tried padlock once when it first came out. What's changed?

Virage, so if you are tracking a plane at near your six you can press KP2 to have a pure dead six snapshot view?

Exile, padlock now is smooth instead just changing snap views.

i use a joystick hat switch and have no problems.

using the keyboard would sometimes 'lock' the current camera direction and not give the 'centered' snap view.  It happened on other views, not just 'Six' view.  So you are not crazy.  Well...

This padlock system is like a SSI Luftwaffe Commander's one...
