Initial position of the camera in "client" missions.

[daemon1808]

Hi,

Is there any way to center the view in one particular chosen unit, at the begining of the mission when the free client slot panel is shown?

 

I mean:

You make a mission with a couple of "client" aircrafts.

You start the mission, and the panel with these slots free appears in the front

In the back, where the camera has been randomly positioned, some unit appears until you choose the slot and enter the chosen aircraft.

This random initial position of the camera can be configurable some how?

 

Thanks!

unfortunately there seems to be no way to do it. there is a logic to which object is shown in the background and as a workaround one can deliberately manipulate units settings to get a desired unit in the view. for example it will show running aircrafts over parked aircraft, aircrafts over ground vehicle, redfor over bluefor and low unit id over high unit id. if one wants to start the camera on a blufor craft for example one can use the "late activation" on redfor aircraft, or deliberately set some aircraft to parked and others to engine running to gain some control. it is not ideal.

ummm, it's a pity. But thanks for your answer!
