Gun cam?

[Panzerlang]

I did a search, nothing came up. So...will Korea have gun cams in the planes? No need for me to extoll the obvious virtues of all that.

I don't know, but I would like a gun cam for every aircraft in the game. That would be cool.

this would be a really neat addition. Something can be extracted and shared if enabled (doesn´t have to be high quality as were the cams back then)

The ideal thing would be to have a mode that actually simulates the speed of the film and the aperture... one could then use the same system for photo-recon cameras, and simulate the quality of the photograph (assigning mission success based on it).

 

I think the developers have a lot of other systems which are a higher priority though.

 

What one can do is switch to a 'cockpit less' view, then adjust the FOV, crop the footage to the right diametre, adjust the frame rate (i.e. re-encode it as the correct framerate for the guncamera), and add artefacts in post... it should be possible to do a pretty good job with a video editor.

Yes, both air-to-ground and air-to-air was used.

 

 

Also, Multi-Camera (Vertical and Oblique) Photo Recon would be cool if you could then stitch together photo-mosaics at the post-mission outbrief.

 

or have the option to take night images by the light of flares or photo-flash bombs.

It would be cool to have photo recon missions where you can see the pictures you took of the target, afterwards.

Indeed, I've done that in the past but it's a fair bit of work. A gun-cam built into the sim would be x100 betterer. 😁

In GB we can replicate the gun cam view by selecting Alt + F2 in the mission record play back, scroll slightly forward and it looks similar. Example in this video at 06:10 hopefully Korea will do the same or even more with a dedicated gun cam option.
