@FierceLV Not a bug, it is by design…
Hi.
Personally, I think Falcon BMS is beyond what is considered good, but still, it can be even more good.
I think Falcon BMS lacks intuitive camera management.
The overall camera management system is plagued by inconsistencies, just to name the few:
-
FOV in Orbit Camera doesn’t reset on reentry.
-
Position in Orbit Camera resets on reentry (case with disabled mouselook).
-
Zoom in Orbit Camera resets regardless of mouselook or NUMPAD keys.
-
Zoom in Chase Camera resets on reentry.
-
You can’t switch directly to Chase Camera from Flyby Camera (need to wait while it does automatically).
-
FOV in Chase Camera doesn’t reset on reentry.
-
After switching to Flyby Camera the Chase Camera FOV resets.
-
After switching to Flyby Camera from Orbit Camera the Orbit Camera FOV doesn’t reset.
-
There is no option to switch directly to the Radar Locked Target Camera, instead Enemy Aircraft Camera picks random aircraft, and you need to cycle through all of those to find the one you are locked onto.
All by design? With all respect I find this design to be inadequate of the awesome jet that is Falcon BMS.
Need to state one important point, just in case:
If something is truly good - then it is good, it doesn’t matter where this good already is implemented, the Falcon deserves the best possible. So keeping this camera design as it is is weird.
I don’t know if this helps or not, but:
Falcon BMS is much better than DCS.
And the main reason: the attitude towards your creation.
DCS pursues wealth, whereas Falcon BMS pursues the Dream.
I am not writing how it must be, I am suggesting the best possible for the Falcon.
And the fact alone that the current camera design appears as a bug to a player raises some thoughts.
It is up to you to decide.
