As the title reads. So many cool replays and movies are waiting to be made with free cam. Im hoping this is included back with 1.009.

Agreed, it would lend itself well to Nate and the other quality movie makers. Flip that switch!!

Yes please!!!!! It would make for some great films! :biggrin:

I can't believe it was removed because people actually complained about it.

Please bring it back!

Yes, I am waiting for that free camera too. Did folks really complain about it?

Didn't loft say it was removed because people were using it to clip through buildings and show what their interiors look like?

You can clip into buildings with the external vehicle camera as well.

I believe so, but my answer to that is Who the &*()^ cares?  No one is playing Flight sims to make an interior decorator sim.  that is the weakest excuse for removing a feature like this I have EVER heard TBH.

Zak, any chance of commenting on this one?

I asked about this months ago and was told it wasn't coming back (hence why I started making some videos using DCS). If their position has changed on this that would be awesome, but I wouldn't expect it to.

It continues today's litany of head scratching decisions. In this case taking away something that was liked for no real good reason. Not a new implementation but an existing one. A movie makers tool that can't be used by the top tutorial maker?! Now he's focused on tutorials for another sim, with this being a contributing factor.

 

Not only poor native PR but interfering with the free PR as well.

 

Sorry for venting. I've kinda had it bottled up for months now.

After messing around in the FME a bit yesterday the potential to set up amazing shots is even greater. The F11 camera would make for such amazing films. Loft please consider adding this back...  :salute:

What I also miss from Rise of Flight is the ability to change from what position you see the plane in fly-by-view. It was such a nice feature.

It's long gone now for no good reason.

what boggles my mind is that the control settings are STILL IN THE MENU.   But now I opened my big mouth and they'll remove those too.   and what is this console command thing!!!  we need that!

I think you have to have a developer build for console. When I tried to enable it in the control config it wouldn't work in game.

What purpose could this possibly serve other than to provide us with awesome videos (which are great for the sim).

 

This sort of stuff leaves me speechless with wonder...

What I found funny is the deb version has this feature, I say it in the gamspot review when they were showing off the game.

 

Bring it back please

I used to use the mini mouse stick on my CH Pro Throttle to change the angle before hitting F3 in Il2 and Cliffs has anyone found a way to use that for video work ?

This needs to be put back in. I heard that using it crashed the game or something so they had to lock it.

 

Anyway, yah F11 needs to come back.
