How do I get a stable external view of my boat?

[HerrRitter]

Hello, fellow commanders!


I just started playing SHIII, today, for the first time in many years. I've forgotten a lot of things.


Mainly, I want to get a stable external view of my boat for the purpose of taking screenshots. What are the keypresses for this? What I've found in the control list has my boat moving away from me. Basically, I simply want to lock onto the boat, in an external view.


Thanks!

The > key.

Thanks very much. I looked all over the internet for that answer, and didn't find it.

Pressing the key multiple times will cycle you through all ships within range, starting with the most recently spotted (visual, radar, sonar).

Pressing < works the other way.

Careful around shore guns in stock SH3. It will offset your camera, and tilt the view.

It'll give you that '60s (Adam West) Batman feeling!

Have to drop back to the main menu, and reload to fix it.

You can pause the game then use the external camera ;-)
