Flak Shaking.

[sammydee]

Is there a way to stop the camera shake that happens when a flak burst comes close to the aircraft?  I thought first of all it was tied in with a mod but for me running vanilla it still happens. I've looked through the various game options but I can't see anything relating to it.

Don't fly so close to the flak. ?

Camera shake in options menu.

1PL-Husar-1Esk Thanks for your reply. I've gone through all camera settings in the Camera section of Options and in Key Mapping and Realism but I can't find a Camera Shake option. The only way I've found to stop the shaking is to turn off the Cinematic option which I don't want to do. I've been playing this game for years and I can't recollect this happening before the last update. Just personal preference but I really don't like the shaking. Regards sammydee.

If you open up the startup.cfg inside your data folder you'll find this;

 

Shake=1

 

Change it to;

 

Shake=0      ...and save.

 

See if that works.

Should someone tell him what flak is?

[Dragon1-1]

Yeah, it's fragmentation rounds. They won't be shaking your aircraft unless it's a direct hit (in which case you're toast, WWII flak rounds were rather big).

[Billsponge1972]

My bad, Shake is for aircraft shaking from the onboard guns. The shaking from a near flak hit is called realism.

[sammydee]

I don't think the aircraft is shaking, it's the imaginary camera in the sky and through all the WW2 aviation books I've read over the years I never read of aircrew seeing one of those. 

=DW=_drewm3i-VR  Flak is what I get off my wife when I go drinking after a football game.

Thy do , let alone passing shell above or below airplane would ballon up or down light plane.

You should probably do it with your wife ?

This is not true. Nearby flak bursts rattled and reverberated through our flying tin cans IRL.

If that is not the case, I don't know any other option. I do not see that effect in the game and many times was near flak burst. Video/replay recording of that effect would be helpful.

[MajorMagee]

Perhaps it's tied to having cinematic effects turned on?

[sammydee]

1PL-Husar-1Esk That's interesting. Do you have Cinematic effects turned on? 

 

MajorMagee Yes if I turn cinematic effects off there is no shaking but I prefer Cinematic effects on so, it is what it is. ?

[DragonDaddy]

As you see, camera shake is part of Cinematic Effects. Can’t have one without the other.

Rattled, yes, you'd certainly hear them. The rattle itself would be shrapnel glancing off the skin, but the boom would certainly be audible. It would not shake the aircraft, though, like a turbulence would. Camera shake is inappropriate, but bass shaker going off would be OK.

[DragonDaddy]

Combatants who have experienced heavy flak in real life say things like “ the flak was so heavy you could walk on it”. My guess is you could hear it and feel it even if not a hit. 

[Art-J]

Shrapnel aside, an air pressure wave is an air pressure wave. The plane is not moving in vacuum. If the shell big enough goes boom close enough, it could bump the plane a bit.
