New top gun views
-
New top gun views, with a more realistic cam positioning.
every camera, except the one on the nose, could be attached to the wingtip or tail of the plane. These angles can be seen on some special aerial footage, for test plane and such.
I set 4 views :
- attached to the nose probe looking at 6 o clock
- attached to the left wingtip, looking forward
- attached to the right wingtop, looking at the cockpit with a slightly zoomed fov
- attached to the tail, looking at the cockpit, with a fisheye view
the air intake view looking at 6o clock was interesting, but the 3d model sucks so much down there that i decided to replace it with the tail view.
If you like this mod, i’ll make it available

@Shung,
Please do make it available.
I’d like to give it a go.
Nice angles.

Shung, those are awesome views and I know there’s a lot of guys that would really enjoy using those shots for their videos! Please make it available for guys to choose!
Really, really well done! -
Wow…great!

I believe those should be in like some ctrl shift plus something or ctrl z and something as the ctrl z r that is a switch and than change topgun cameras.

Ok, these are the lines to change in the f16blkxx.dat files to obtain these new top gun views !

TopGunCamera4 7 43.0 0.0 -5.0 -7.0 180.0 0.0 47.0You’ll find them in the data/sim/acdata folder. there is one file for each airplane. Edit the .dat files with notepad ++ , and backup your original files !
ps: if someone wants me to make a pack with all the modified .dat files to just put in the folder, I can do that too.
Now, a little explanation of how the lines work, if you like to mod it :
-14.72 -15.63 -4.0 0.0 15.0 0.0 60.0
X offset (- being behind the center)
Y offset
Z offset (- being above center)

dont think it will have any influence over multiplayer, but it will work the same.
The only issues I had creating this mod was that I could not position the cameras too close to the F16 body, because sometimes we would see through the hollow body parts.

thanks mate!
-
sorry for the probably silly question
but how can I access these views ingame?
is it possible to use the other views of the action camera too? e.g. there is this nice alternate fly-by from behind (not the shift-f9) -
Assign a key to the “Top gun view” keystroke
-
Thanks for sharing hat, Shung, and noted your advise above.
Best regards,
-
Can someone explain step by step how to call those views or how to configure that key to top gun view?
Can´t find configuration or the keys.Thanks.
-
Look into the keystroke your are using for a “top gun view” command. Must be under the VIEW category.
There are three commands actually. Top gun view - next top gun view - previous top gun view
Assign a key to “next top gun view” or 3 keys to all of them, and enjoy

Sorry but ain’t that view the
ctrl+shift+`
For me it is already or this is a different view?
Sorry this must be the Action view as
