Film viewer broken
« on: May 15, 2019, 06:00:03 PM »
The "use recorded views" option is no longer working correctly. When enabled you still get camera movement, however you are nowhere in your plane/vehicle. For me I am on a distant hill?

OK, you use TR and on takeoff were looking low over the leading edge of your right wing with use recorded views checked. At 1:33 you were climbing to the left over the water and your views are fine.

OH!, I placed the film on pause to write this, when I got back I had been placed on the ground. Restarted the film and watched your sortie. I'm just now updating this post with what happened. Did you place your film on pause for awhile?

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

A lot of the times I have trouble switching to the "external" view. High lights/check box comes on, but it doesnt change.

Nope soon as I clicked Use recorded views it went to a hill. Its VR by the way. Was working just fine before patch :headscratch: Let me try again...get back with results :salute Heck, its working now...on every film I checked :headscratch: What would cause that? Havent changed a thing, thats weird! Thanks for checking it though, really appreciate it!

Yes, get that at times. The FIXED view is still not working forr me. This is what my film WAS doing...seems it fixed itself. I checked after I relogged to forums and saw BUSTRS response. WEIRD :uhoh
