New (transport) helicopter view

But yes, I like the idea -it really is needed purely for the sake of ease of landing. PR pilots, unlike real ones, tend to be the only guys interested in what the helicopter is doing. That and we obviously can't spare another player for a crew cheif or W/E. I'll have to comment on the video later...capped...

Don't worry, recycling ideas is what actually reminds people of them and helps their case

Quickly coded this into the Huey, so it really shouldn't be hard to add.

That's the entire POV code with my code added. Unlike the OP, I gave them a field of View of 1.5, so you could see more in your screen.

Normal view using Control:


My coded view (default "6"):


Secondary fire (looking further down slightly):


I personally find this very useful when landing, and when looking for any hazards in the way upon approach, especially since it's possible to look down without loosing control or an extra hand :/

You can't even look down in a lynx

[FoxShadowHound]

This would make my life 50x easier to land the bigger birds if this was put in should make it into a hotkey or something

Hehe, Brummy, you'd be the one to say that

[0blivi0us]

I would like to -BUMP- this as i'm confused why this isn't implemented.

He showed it's possible yet it hasn't been implemented in the latest patch. I mean the last post was created 3 months(!) before the latest patch release.
Can we get a dev and/or con to reply on this? I would like to know if this will be implemented because it'll make steering those more bigger choppers a lot easier.

Colonelcool agrees.

if someone was willing to code this for all the choppers then ye I dont see why we wouldn't providing there are no issues like max number of cams/weapons or something (iirc there was some kinda limit we ran into) so test it on a dedi server to make sure its all good.

We are kinda stretched at the moment.

[richyrich55]

Any news on this McLuv? Dev's?

p.s.
bump.
