Apologies if this has come up before, but would it be possible to mod a camera view to follow ordnance, in 1st or 3rd person such as bombs and rockets, when they're fired or dropped?

It'd make the player guided weapons such as fritz-x and HS-293 more fun to use (although less accurate of course), and would come in handy for videos. It could also be used for TV-guided weapons for more modern aircraft.

Excellent idea!!!

Search for the CmdActorView (4 09 and 4 10 1) mod here in SAS. It'll do the job!... At least for missiles...

BT~walker, how do you adress the missile with the view command?
I tried with F-4E with 4xAIM-7E+4xAIM-9D+2xD-Tks.
But I can watch only ie the droptanks but missiles aren't in the views objects list.

Please, wich Phantom is it in your vid, wich weapons settings and what have you
typed whe using the concole view command?

Thanks!

[BT~walker]

  Well, nothing special...
Default Ordnance with harpoons. When viewing the track, after missile launch, stoped track, followed instructions as per post of CmvActor, & there
was a 0_rocket (if i remember exactly)... That was all... then >view 0_rocket

[SAS~Gerax]

I did what is in the short readme text,
shift-tab -> view -> whats on the list -> choose one, -> view this.
But, AGM84 Harpoons were not on the list, also
I tried AIm7s, AIM9s, AGM65s, but they were not on the list too.
Droptanks (!) was the only object the CMDActor viewed,
(apart from the static (chief) and planes objects).

But really, its not so exciting watching a droptank on his way to ground. 

So can you please have a look again how you did this vid
or can anyone confirm that he has some missiles etc on the view list,
so I would know that there is something wrong on my side.

_rocket_
that is what i get... then : >view _rocket_
i tested with aim7 & 9 and tracks all of them. But can track only the latest missile fired (ie even if other missiles on air)

Don't understand why this CmsActorView is so "choosy"  ...
