    How to use static cameras ?

    If there is a thread or previously asked questions about this, I can't find it.

    So, how do I activate a camera placed on the ground in IL 2 ?

    Also, checking the " Hover camera" box seems not to work. Is this a common problem?

    All help gratefully received.

    I'm playing using version 4.09 with pateches up to and including 4.11.1.


    Thanks.

    For IL2:1946 and earlier, lots of topics in the mission builder forum but search wont find anything prior to the last major software upgrade for the forum software. For IL2:CoD, I don't recall seeing any.

    In IL2:1946 and earlier versions:
    • In Full Mission Builder, place a camera at the location you want. From your question I'm presuming you've already done this or have one or missions that include static cameras.
    • Before starting the mission, make sure the "No Enemy Views" and "No Friendly Views" difficulty settings are turned off. If I recall correctly, cameras are counted as an Enemy View but I may be wrong and they might be a Friendly View.
    • Once in the mission, use the View Next Enemy/Friendly controls (Ctrl+F2 and Shift+F2 by default) to cycle through available views until you find the cameras. They will be after all the aircraft in the list.

    For Cliffs of Dover, I've not played with them but a quick look at the Full Mission Builder for CoD suggests much the same functionality.

    Where did you find the Hover Camera setting, I recall mention of it before but don't remember where...
