3D View after ejecting
-
Sometimes when I get hit and have to bail out it’s right in the middle of a thrilling fight
I often stay in 3D view a little longer to give ACMI time to capture more action before I exit to 2D.
When I’m hanging from the chute, my view options don’t seem to work. I’m hoping that I can at least pan, rotate, and zoom with the skydiver in view, but even better would be the free cam (Shift+0).
Unfortunately this doesn’t seem to work. I looked in the BMS manual and didn’t see any post-ejection limitations documented. Maybe I missed something?
Are free camera views available after bailing out?
Thanks!!

Does anyone use mouselook after ejecting? I cannot make this work or find anything in the docs.
Maybe I should fight better and strive to eject less frequently?

Searching for “parachute view” or “ejection view” you’ll see it’s apparently a long-standing bug / limitation / feature-request.
In some old thread I saw a youtube vid of @Dee-Jay testing out different ejection sequences… that was really cool… ah here I found it:

Wow that’s very impressive!
Also far beyond what I was hoping for. I would just like to have control of the view angle when hanging from the chute.
Maybe it’s one of those things thats easy to say but difficult to create. If it’s not already in the sim, then probably it’s not worth the effort yet.
Better to work on other things and I will endeavor to stay in the jet a little longer. I can always watch the action afterward with Tacview.

Riding the silk does allow for “Action View”. You can watch the war for a while

I had no idea … this needs to be told to many youtube content-creators … could make for some fun last-minute views.

Not recommended in MP so far. Bubble issues.

What’s the default key combo for “action view”? Thanks for the heads-up btw, I wasn’t aware of this.
All the best, Uwe

Shift tilde works for me.
