Ability to use hat siwtches in jstick to look around

Glassoid · 10-24-2005, 10:23 AM

One of my biggest gripes while flying is the inability to look around while flying the aircraft. Yes we have mouse look but that disables the flight controls. Having the external chk 6 view is nice but I'd like to look around and see where that bad guy went while flying around and still having control over my plane. It would help greatly if they added views that could be programmed within the plane or chopper to look around since it would make your Situational Awarness much better.

This was missing in '42 as well. They wont add it.

I have views bound to my hat in BF42 and BF2... just change it in your set up so that your secondary view option to the F9 thru F12 is the hat switch. Worked for me anyway.

Yes, it does,.. Tho I honestly would prefer the "Free Look" there instead, both for Jets and Choppers.

Can't you use "mouse look" via your joystick

Im pretty sure -you can-,..(cant recall if I tried it or not) but then you relenquish control over the aircraft, which for a purely *personal* reason, i find 'unacceptable'

Mouse look is just that... you have to use your mouse and you can't use the joystick. Therefore you have to let go of the joystick or operate the mouse with your other hand. Can we say crash?
