If video doesnt work: YouTube - RC airplane Hover

I think the point Rudd is making is about realism. I'm no military expert but I doubt a UAV like that can turn on a penny.

We know it works like the TV mssile camera, where you click is where you end up pointing.

+1 for this idea Coolio.

the uav is based off the vanilla cruise missile. so i dont think its possible to give it more views/camera

I don't really see why not. The camera on it will be the same as on any other object, so you can should be able to enable multiple views.
Probably can't do zoom though.

If you can do multiple views, though, then Zoom is certainly possible if your change the specific FOV for every view, wouldn't it be?

Lol, If McLuv has 1 up on e-Gor there, I'll eat my hat.

I'm not sure you can change the FOV independently for each view - I thought it there was a single setting for the camera as a whole. Might be wrong though.

I don´t know if its the same thing but the Flir Zoom uses a camera, which changes FOV when you press c rather than a zoom comp.

Probably. Would you like some chilli sauce with your hat, smeg? It'll help hide the taste.

Since I assume you can't have a map icon attached to the UAV (as the player actually is still in the command post and I'd think the icon would appear there instead) - Couldn't you just put a dot in the middle of the minimap? Not a real icon, only a HUD element. Like a crosshair or speed indicator. Just over the center of the minimap? Or would that not work with some resolutions and stuff?
