This is very strange. I thought I had turned OFF "No external view". I even tried deleting Documents\SH4, restarting the game, re-doing the realism settings again and ensuring "No external view" was off, restarting a campaign, saving the game, quitting the game, restarting the game, loading my saved game, and ... free camera was still disabled.

So, i poked around inside Documents\SH4. It turns out that all instances of GamePlaySettings.cfg somehow had

Code:

NoExternalView=true

instead of

Code:

NoExternalView=false

I changed all instances of GamePlaySettings.cfg so that "NoExternalView" was set to false, restarted the game and ... voila, free camera now works.

Now, if the guy who keeps saying "Passing thermal layer" while we are sitting in port, depth 0, speed 0, waiting to start the 1st patrol would be quiet I would be happy :) ...
