Can you please ack a couple of things...

[Saintaw]

Here I go :
1- No outside View in fighters ?
2-No padlock View ?
3-No "no cockpit" View ?

I am NOT complaining about these things, just wanted to make sure that I Didn't miss a function somewhere...

Also, how do I get someone to come in my "Buff" as a Gunner ?

Cheers for answering a total newbie who, don't get me wrong, LOVES the Sim...

Not online... offline there is.  Can't have that online since it's a visibility cheat.

2-No padlock View ?

No, blech.  There won't be one either.

3-No "no cockpit" View ?

Uh.. talk about a view cheat.

Saintaw, AH is designed to be as realistic as possible from what I have seen.  To that end realistic visibility limitations are in place.  In this way a plane like the F4U has it's real view limitations as it should.  You will find any "un-realistic" view method will either not be in AH, or will not be enabled during online play.

BTW, do you know about moving your head?  You can use the arrow keys (not the number pad ones, the other ones) and the pageup/pagedown keys to adjust your head position for each view.  To do this hold that view, adjust as I mentioned, and then hit F10 to save that head position for that view.  You will need to do this for each view in each plane.

Cheers Lephturn,

Thx for the acks, I am now sure I didn't miss something, and will do my best to use the available views.

I found out about the "Moving head" keys, and have used them already, Hell, I love it, especially the Gunsight that gets "negated when you move out of the original position..."

I'm still looking for a good key to "look up 30-45 Deg"...I think i'll need that in turning fights...

  this looks tough, but Cool...I already passed the info to a couple of colleagues who are "Week end pilots" (hehehe, they will kill me when viewing this post... ...)

Meet you up "there" (Still in the mud for me, but it will change...)

A gunner/observer can join you (also inflight) with the ".join playerid" command. He will be also taking off with you on subsequent missions unless he enters the ".unjoin" command in the tower.

You can map the 45 degrees forwards and upwards view to any key or joystick button in the setup (ESC > Setup > Key mapping / Joystick mapping)
