External cam fixed on own U-Boot?

toby66 · 03-10-10, 04:18 PM

Does anyone now how to fix the external camera on the own U-Boot? I'm following my boat with the asdw-key like nuts.

But what I'd like to do, is sit back and enjoy the riding through the waves for a while. Was possible in SH3 and SHIV, so what about V?

It's been tried using the methods from earlier games but ended up breaking things.

I really hope the Devs will fix this, I miss this feature big time

Yep. One could argue that it isn't a huge thing. But for a player like me, who just loves to adore his boat and kick in some good vibes from the gramaphone, it makes quite a difference.

Grammaphone at sunset see the bow plowing through the waves, it gets me in a mood I can´t explain

So, to sum in up...
In SH3, external camera worked for ships and planes, but crashed on land units.
In SH4, it lost ability to track planes and worked only for ships.
In SH5, it's messed even for ships.
This is how the series "evolved"

I just bought this today and you have got to be kidding me?!! For me this is just basic to any game to be able to view the person or object you are simulating!! This is a joke right? I find it impossible to believe that in a 3D game in 2010, you cannot look at the object you are in.

Jokes aside, please, what is the key to view my sub? Or just any other object?

I think a lot of us are hoping a modder will help us. In one mod I've seen the external camera was fixed outside but fixed literally on the boat. So even while zooming out the camera was slaves to the sub. As the sub would rock side to side the camera would elevate up and down accordingly. It wasn't quite what was in sh3@4 but close. It resulted in horrible framerates compared to sh3@4 as well. But I know. Just a simple mod like this would mean a lot to ....well.... A lot of us. I personally miss being on the surface, ordering a dive to periscope depth and watching the boat silently slip under the water. I do love the graphics but like the earlier post I running around the sub likr crazy with the wasd keys now just to get my external camera fix until someone can mod it for us.

Sorry for such a rant there's just a bunch of us that would love this mod. It's the small things that make a game great and this is one of those things for a few of us.

Help us out modders! Lifeboat!
