Blackhawk view suggestion

Danthesandman · 10-04-2007, 12:59 AM

Theres always been one thing about the transport choppers thats always bugged me and thats the direction u can look. only foward, left and right. there is no way for the pilot to look down and see wats happenin. there is that little circle that comes up when u touch the ground but thats very poor for workn out wats below u. but there are little window down at ur feet on most choppers that p!ss me off cos u cant look down them. what i want to know is is there any chance that like the little bird with the left or right mouse click that turns left or right that a button could be used to lean foward and down the window. if ur point of view was moved foward and down this would help for landing and not crushing any1 below. (man i hate that) u might not even need any animation. and if u say that in RL leaning on the controls would make u loose control then u try lookn left in a little bird and fly. its impossible so that would giv it some realism.

Im pretty sure its possible for a pilot to look left/right lol. Get one of your passengers to spot for you

In the small choppers the countermeasures key (default "x") looks downwards slightly. In the larger transport helicopters I am fairly sure you can look slightly downwards with the free look function but at the expense of being able to control your chopper with the mouse.
