NEW Mini-PAT mod, DBW compatible (F9 Camera Only)
« on: July 13, 2012, 12:56:38 PM »

eventually, after spending many hours tinkering with the last PAT camera mod version, i seem to have ironed out the bugs that were plaguing many users, which made it almost impossible to work in 4.10 based installs, specifically DBW.
i have sorted this out, and the mod now works with DBW and, although not tested, should work for most 4.10 installs.
when it first appeared, there were several more features to the mod, and it weighed in at a hefty +-150 classfiles!  :o
i've managed to reduce it to a mere 5 classfiles, also removing most of the original features which, unfortunately, had many incompatibilities with some mods which are essential for a DBW install.
so, the only feature that this version has, is the camera 'tilt' option, which allows you to move the camera to angles not previously available in the stock game.
this is really just useful for guys who want to take screenshots, or movie-makers.
it allows a bit more freedom for camera angles.
other than that, it doesn't serve much purpose, so unless you are one of the afore-mentioned screenshot/movie type guys, then there is really no point in downloading this.
you use it by pressing F9 button when in external views, and the mouse, and you can cycle between 'tilt' and normal view with F9, until you get the camera angle you are looking for.
I've tested this on my DBW1.71 install, as well as DBW 1916, and it works like a charm.




my thanks go to all those involved with this mod from the beginning - the PAT team members, one of whom was the original creator of the mod, as well as HaDeS and ZUTI from UltraPack, who helped me to get past some initial hurdles.
big thanks and respect to all of you!  8)

enjoy, and i hope to see it being used in some of our great screenshots, and in some cool IL-2 movies.  8)

Apparently I do not have authorization to download from SAS because when I clicked on the link, I went into eternal wait mode.

umm, there shouldn't be any authorisation issues, it's a direct download...?
anyone else had issues trying to d/l it?

thanks Mark.
let us know if the new link works, US_G, i really can't say why the old one doesn't work for you - i suspect it's some kind of setting either on your machine, or perhaps your service provider, which is causing that.
seems to work for most everyone else...
similar to the problem i have with being unable to download from gamefront, whereas, seemingly, no-one else has problems with it.

Malone,

I loved the orginal PAT mod. But I have a question, can you change to a different key from F9? This is the pause key for TrackIR.
