External View in TMO 2.5
I just installed TMO last night, and I have found that I can't use the external view in campaign mode. I have gone into the Options menu and unselected the "no external view" choice, applied changes, then restarted the campaign, but everything resets and I have no external view. I have tried using the F12 button, as was suggested in another thread. Nothing. The free camera button also does nothing. I saw in another thread something about an options screen in career mode, but the one I have doesn't include the external view choice.
Is this something I can fix in the cfg file, or am I missing something easier? |
There is a separate options menu inside the campaign, you have to change the option there too.
You can do this when you are on the screen of the captains office, one of the books on the left hand side shelf is a shortcut to the campaign options menu. that should do it.:Kaleun_Salute: |

Thanks guys! I found the elusive Options menu in the campaign and fixed the problem there. All is now good!

One of the things I did long ago was change the defaults to my own personal preference. That's in the \Data\Cfg\GameplaySettings.cfg file, which can be edited with notepad. Every time I start a new career I chose the "Hard" setting;
[Hard] LimitedBatteries=true LimitedCompressedAir=true LimitedO2=true LimitedFuel=true RealisticRepairTime=true ManualTargetingSystem=true NoMapUpdate=false RealisticSensors=true DudTorpedoes=true RealisticReload=true NoEventCamera=true NoExternalView=false NoStabilizeView=false MPShowPlayerNames=true MPShowTorpedoes=true But I edited that in the GameplaySettings.cfg file; [Hard] LimitedBatteries=true LimitedCompressedAir=true LimitedO2=true LimitedFuel=true RealisticRepairTime=true ManualTargetingSystem=false NoMapUpdate=false RealisticSensors=true DudTorpedoes=false RealisticReload=true NoEventCamera=true NoExternalView=false NoStabilizeView=false MPShowPlayerNames=true MPShowTorpedoes=true So I don't have to remember to change those in gameplay options before leaving the office. Edit then forgedit. :rock: |
Thank you !!! I just posted about this as well. I should have looked 1st for this answer. :)

Is there a way to get back the external views using the comma and period keys? The view that cycled between your sub and all nearby ships? I got the F12 key to work in the gameplaysettings.cfg file but I really miss haveing my sub "locked" on view when underwater..
|
Yes.
Edit: Found it: Quote:

Thanks Mate !!! you are my best new friend !! LOL
I know TMO is all about the realism, but with all of the time spent on the stunning Ship and Sub detail.. it's tough to stay couped up inside all the time. :) |
