REQ - Camera location on Carriers
« on: April 15, 2012, 05:55:54 PM »

Current situation:  Camera "on board" an aircraft carrier is centered on the ship limiting viewing options.  When my group flies coop missions the first member who is shot down or crashes etc always assumes "control tower" duties back at the carrier.  This includes acting as LSO to returning planes, however the current camera for the carrier does not allow an LSO-eye view so to speak.

Request/Suggestion: As you will see below having the camera located at the LSO location would provide an ideal spot for acting as LSO (as well as providing a good perch for recording approaches etc for training).  I achieved these shots by simply placing a static camera at the LSO position (at 17m alt) on a stationary carrier.
Is the camera location on the active carriers hard-coded or is it possible to relocate it?
This is the FMB view of my 'experiment' (the static camera is located at the LSO position to the aft port corner of the carrier)

The view available from the LSO position


This may not be a mod but maybe a simple parameter adjustment to the carrier object?
thanks.

Able to move camera to ANYWHERE on the plane and any angle, even while in flight. Also has a button to drop a cam at your current location and able to move it all over the map

So if you drop the PAT mod at the LSO position on a moving carrier it will stay with the moving carrier at that location?

No, it changes the default camera that you would use while flying. So you didn't need to do anything special in any map. But there isn't one for 4.101
