If you've played my mod, you've notice my tanks having a static 3rd person camera, and allows the player to aim. Should I do this with airplanes too?

Re: 3rd Person airplanes
I like how you make it 3rd + 1st person camera on the tanks. I would love a 1st/3rd option!
A picture is worth a thousand words, but takes up three thousand times the memory.

Re: 3rd Person airplanes
I can do that but there won't be a cockpit. Just the 3rd person and the "in front of the nose" cam. The problem is that I can't use the 1st person mesh when doing the 3rd person cameras. It was easy to do that for tanks, but airplane cockpits are a completely different problem.Vilespring wrote:I like how you make it 3rd + 1st person camera on the tanks. I would love a 1st/3rd option!

Re: 3rd Person airplanes
I don't use a 1P lod system at all for the planes in the my BFH'42 mod. So I am able to cycle through 1P view, and 3P view at will. Perhaps you can try and merge the cockpit Geometry with the exterior geometry in Gmax/3DSMax?
You could also just addTemplate the cockpit directly to the complex bundle and skip the lodobject process all together if the cockpit geometry overlaps without clipping issues. Otherwise you would need to edit the mesh to make them get along.

I have cameras in your head!
Re: 3rd Person airplanes
If that is possible with the vanilla airplane models, then I can do it.

Re: 3rd Person airplanes
I just found something weird with the Audax biplane in my mod.
There are basically two cameras attached to the Complex bundle:
... Then if you scroll down further ...
Now ... either this was a mistake by whoever coded this vehicle or I'm just not seeing something.
