Problem with ","and "."

CapZap1970 · 07-20-07, 11:17 AM

I like to go to external view using "," and "." to take screenshots, but sometimes when I click on any of those keys, the view goes far, very far and the cam is completely misaligned, sometimes it's pointing to the sky and others to the sea. The arrow keys also act funny when this happens.

When this anomaly happens, it's impossible to use , or . and if I want to take a look I hav eto use F12,but it's a PITA trying to focus it on an aircraft for example, because the view is not locked on the object.

Any ideas what causes this and how can this bwe fixed?
Thank you very much for your help!!!

I guess its a land unit
IIRC you are not using GWX

The land unit camera " Bounce " was introduced in one of Ubi's patches

GWX has reclassified land units so they dont show on next unit view
Of course your crew wont say they see them either so its a trade off

Usually a save and reload will put the camera back to the correct positions
Until you come across another land unit

I forgot to mention that when this happens, I am not near land, i am generally far from land, in the middle of nowhere.

Did you find any solution MM, other than the one BBW's?

Hmmm if you are far from land then thats a mystery
I doubt its a problem with a ship though tis possible
None I can think of would cause the problem

Bit of a mystery that one then
