Use of " Take Control of Selected AI Aircraft"

[Bf109Ace]

Hi All,

Does anyone know if the feature in Options/ View/ Take Control..... works or not?

If it does work, how does one set it up?

I fly in FMB most of the time setting up missions and it will be very helpful to be able to continue flying after one has been shot down/ KiA'd.

Thanks in anticipation

It works.

In your realism options you need to enable it though.

Then cycle through the aircraft while playing using CTRL+F2 / SHIFT+F2. When you are seeing the plane you want to control (flyable), press ALT+F1 and you should be in control.

Hi 9./JG52_J-HAT,

Tried your suggestion but as of to date no luck.

In the realism options, (Aircraft Switching) which box/es need to be unticked?

"Cannot Switch Positions", "Cannot Switch Planes" , or " Cannot Select Planes " or all?

My settings are F3 [ your CTRL+F2? ] for External View - Cycle Friendly Aircraft

and F4 [ your SHIFT=F2? ] for External View - Cycle Enemy Aircraft

Then pressing Alt+F1 seems to have no effect.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

"Cannot switch planes" - unticked

 

Fly. 

 

Default keys

 

Shift + F2 to change view to a friemdly

 

Ctrl + F2 to change view to an enemy

 

Once you find the flya Le you want to take charge of Alt+F1

 

Not 100% sure but I think you ha e to ha e external views enabled.. but not sure.
