External camera

A question for the modders. Would it be possible to fix the external camera so that follows the sub as in SH3? Thanks.

In SH3 the was two types of external Cam.
One that was accessed by F12 key that did not follow the sub and you could move as you pleased.
The other was a External cam that was accessed by the , key if i remember rightly. This cam followed the Ship / U-boat and you could zoom in and out as you pleased.

In my short time playing with SH5 i have been unable to find a similar cam as the one accessed by the , Key in SH3.
Which is a shame as it was the best for taking great Screenshots.
Also does anyone know how to pause the game and then clear the screen to take a screenshot.
In SH3 all you had to do was just minus the TC the game would pause and the hit Del - Num Lock to clear the screen. Unfortunately approach this does not work in SH5.

i think all the camera views are still ingame just never got finished or added in time, into the new interface.

Please! I'm hoping some modder will figure this one out! A lot of us miss having that fixed external cam for viewing. I used it a LOT more than the F12 camera. Any modders/takers?

I know the info is "in game" I just can't figure out how to activate it.

Thanks!

Must admit this is miffing me off as well. Kitkat chunky for the person who manages to get this thing working.

One of the new U.I.'s uses the interface from sh4. The camera buttons work on it. You could atleast open it up to find the files and change the key commands for it, I think.
