A view without actors is a no-go. It doesn't feedback players with a relative point of view. Some users may wonder if something is wrong or broken. I am sure you understand.

Next Generation CAM (NG-CAM) Mod v1.5
:: Introducing the FOVMod Animated ::




1) External Views Inertia applied to Ordnance

I thought the Ordnance view was a bit bland and decided to give it some momentum. PAL's Visual Mod External Views Inertia is now available in both Aircraft and Ordinance actors. Remember you can toggle inertia on/off anytime with the 'Toggle Snap/Pan View' control key.


2) GoPro Views Enhanced

There was a request by blackshark to always go to one particular view when pressing the Chase View key and in version 1.5 I implemented a time-based solution to allow the game remember the last view you selected: from the moment you press the Chase View control key you have 2 seconds to switch to a different view. Keep this in mind when you wonder why you have to press the Chase View key twice to switch views.

Just play normally! select your preferred GoPro view and forget about everything else. It should all flow naturally.


3) FOVMod Animated!

Yet another masterpiece by SAS~Storebror. Many FOV Mods existed before but none were this complete!

Based on his FOVMod_animated_v4, I altered the code a bit:

• Animation disabled in Bombardier and Observer stations to prevent distortions
• Default FOV is 90° (Stock FOV on 4:3 monitors is 70° and on 16:9 is 83°)
• Default FOV speed is 2x (double the original speed)
• New conf.ini FOVAnim setting (default is 1 = on). If you don't want the mod you can just delete the classfiles 19EF8DC806613AE4 and E5D3C09810641348.

Available conf.ini settings (optional!):

Code: [Select]

[Mods]
FOVAnim=1
FOVLog=0
FOVSpeed=200
FOVDefault=90
conf.ini settings explained:

- FOVAnim=1 // 0 is animation off, 1 is on (default)
- FOVLog=0 // 0 is off (default), 1 is on
- FOVSpeed=200 // A percentage value: 50 = 1/2, 100 = 1x, 200 = 2x (default)
- FOVDefault=90 // Stock FOV on 4:3 is 70° and on 16:9 is 83° - Mod's default is 90°


Forever grateful for this gem SAS~Storebror!

If you stop by say thanks to Mike for giving us the awesome FOVMod Animated!

Thanks a lot, Whistler and Mike.

This Mod is gettiing better and better.   

[sturmbock]

This mod is mandatory in my game.

Thank you very much.

Hi Whistler, its getting better with every update, thanks a lot. Small question: even with 'FOVLog=1' I don't see the FOV angle displayed on screen.

[whistler]

All clear here henkypenky

Is the HUD log hidden perhaps? Otherwise bear in mind [Mods] is case-sensitive: don't use [MODS] or [mods], it must be [Mods]

[Mods]
FOVLog=1

[henkypenky]

Hi Whistler, thanks for your answer; it seems that this isn't simple; I see messages Autopilot on etc in the lower right corner so I don't think the HUD log is hidden. Copied the text for config from the readme, so no fault there either..
 

[whistler]

I can only think of one thing: your conf.ini has two (or more) [Mods] sections and the game only reads the uppermost. Make sure you only have one [Mods] section at the bottom of your conf.ini. I have no idea otherwise.

EDIT:

[...] Copied the text for config from the readme, so no fault there either..

Don't copy the stuff with the double slash!

Wrong!

[Mods]
FOVLog=1 // 0 is off (default), 1 is on

Right:

[Mods]
FOVLog=1

Posts edited accordingly. Sorry guys, I thought this was obvious after all these years

[henkypenky]

Two flies in one blow: my config had two [Mods] sections and I indeed had copied with the double slashes, seems handy to have the explanation next to it.  It wasn't that obvious to me, sorry.

Thanks for your support and keep up your great work! O BTW now it works OK.

Next Generation CAM (NG-CAM) Mod v1.6



We keep re-introducing features from other mods and fixing bugs or annoyances. In version 1.6 you can move the viewpoint by pressing the SHIFT key. This feature is available for ALL actors except cameras but only in non-inertia mode.

Press the Shift key and move the mouse, that simple. Your screenshots will look better than ever!

I also took this chance to adjust a few things and to fix a bug in the FOVMod Animated where the animation got disabled when jumping from a Bombardier/Observer station to an external view.
