Degrees of Freedom

[danielprates]

I am gearing up for the upcoming Desert Wings DLC, after some time away, and I am confused with some of the view settings. 

 

Ok. So I can Snap and Pan my head from inside the cockpit. Snap will turn it slightly and immediatelly come back to the original position, where pan will turn there and stay there. However, BOTH only seem to work in increments of 45 degrees. Can't I have a fee pan mode, where I use the hatswitch to turn my head how much I want in any direction? 

 

Also: is here no way to configure a key to MOVE your head, only turn it? Can't I raise my head to see lower below the nose, move it to the sides to reach more towards the tail etc.?

Quite apart from whether CloD can be configured in this way (honestly I don't know if it can), to do so would require 3x 4-way hats and would need a level of dexterity and co-ordination that I could only dream of.  What you have described is head tracking which does everything you want.

Ugh.

 

Look its simple, I am only asking if it is possible to configure keys or buttons to two actions, viz: a) gradual pan instead of only 45 degrees at a time (excluding using the mouse for that); b) head movement or tilting, as oposed to turning view direction. 

 

Simple queation.

 

So, nothing fancy and common in other games (BoS) for instance. If they do not exist in the game,  can someone just confirm me that? There are no options to that effect in the bindings menu but some games allow more options in, say, config file.

 

Can't anybody give me a straight answer? @ATAG_Pattle, @Buzzsaw?

I dont think in the game as it stands. But perhpas the mouse emulation of something like Joy2Key would do it. I used it  for the turret control of the tanks to TC before i lost interest. There was also another external program that i think was perfected by Stormrider to alter the head position in terms of up/down/left/right.  It was posted on the ATAG forum about 2 years ago.
