So the weapons are coded like the mini guns on the choppers then?

hi,
i would like to be clear ,the goal here isn't to to move the laser gun ( like in a helicopter simulation) but just to move the head inside the cockpit as you can do with the original battelfield 2142 , battelfield 2 and others simulation ( joint operation il2 ,lock on, arma...)
the dev's work still great in all the case...

Even if you are unable to shoot when mouselook is enabled, as in looking around, once the CTRL key is not held down the screen would snap back to normal view and teh laser cannons would continue to shoot in the last direction you faced during mouselook. It cannot be done, not even in SP.

I never knew that. I stand corrected.

Wow, thanks for the really lovely welcome. I'm someone who's been playing FS since just before 1.2 was released, and only recently got round to registering on the forum. I made a post acting on information I had aqquired, I was wrong. No need for the agresseiveness.

AFAIK, using this engine you can either have mouse look off, or mouse look on. You can't change between one and the other.

And who are you?

Mouselook in Fighters = Impossible.

No, it would look dodgy, especially in a view where the gun geometry is visible such as the chase cam. Even in a cockpit view where you can't see the guns it looks wrong.

That might not be a problem if you could make the crosshairs move with the mouselook. Tie lasers can fire at angles to the ship- it'd make the trench run a heckuva lot more interesting... Flying straight? check. (drops stick, picks up mouse)

I believe the problem is the way the laser cannons are coded, because of this if we implemented free look your cannons would fire in the direction you looked rather than centered on the HUD crosshairs.

THEN COULD WE IMAGINE TO IMPLEMENT IT IN THE SINGLE MINI MOD, EVEN THIS WOULD BE ENOUGHT FOR ME....
you have done such a great work,the mouse view is more than an easter egg.

thank's.
