Fly-By View - F3
« on: December 06, 2012, 07:26:27 AM »

I know some members have little regard for the fly-by view, but I do like it quite a lot as it gives a good feeling of cinematographic immersion.

Anyway, there is one shortcoming of sorts and that is that whenever you refresh F3, the viewpoint is the same and you keep on getting a repeat of the fly-by angle. Now, just for variety's sake, is there any way to influence the fly-by angle or to set different angles somehow? Or even to simply randomly change the fly-by angle whenever F3 is pressed?

Hmmm ... is there any mod necessary for this? I've tried it before and just now again to be certain, both with and without the XY and Normal mouse mod by PAL in jsgme ... it's still the same fly-by angle when in F3 ...

Maybe I'm missing something? I tried it with both mouse buttons as well held in - right and left ...

Hi.
Change your elevator pitch with the joy-stick just before you press F3. If you descend you get a flyby from above and
if you nose up then you have a flyby from below.   :)

Love the fly-by view especially because the motorsound is jawdropping.

No idea why from time to time the fly-by sound disappears, later in the missin there it is again. A bug?

Thanks, this works quite well ... never noticed this before.

With the sound disappearing temporarily - maybe too many mods installed and the java wall and all that? I just re-installed DBW from scratch and all those little annoying things are now gone. I put it down to having a cleaner and much smaller mods directory.

Dont know if you run your DBW with the "TFM"
Realy recommend " The Full Monty" for your DBW 1.7. It gives yoy the most mods and are tested to work
with out any issues.

I do use The Full Monty. No idea, somtimes there ist fly-by sound in the beginning of a mission. During dog fights fly-by sound disappears and is there again on the return to base flight...

Test manouvering your AC during the flyby sequence, it takes a little practice but you can get  some astonishing views doing that. (Best done in QMB alone or with  one wingie, you  can pull some good stunts)

... are you sure you are using the 64 channels now possible with Tiger's Audiodevice mod ?

Easy check in your conf.ini you should have (in your [sound] section):

Hi, Mick,

thx for the hint. Will give it a try.

There's hope that one day there will be a big DBW pack, where all settings are already made so that Newbies will no longer have to read for hours an post unneccessary questions  :-[

Thanks a lot!!
