9.JG27 DavidRed Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) hey guys after hours of trying out the different view options and padlock options i still cant figure out how the guys could track that missile from that perspective so smooth... im speaking about the a10c trailer and the scene which starts at 2:39 how can they first track the plane that smooth, and then make a smooth transition to the missile, and track it, without switching views? i know there is the padlock function, and thats how they probably kept the plane in sight...but i cant padlock the missile from such a view. i am only able to use the F6 view where the camera focuses on the missile...but doing that makes such a smooth transition impossible it seems... this scene is a mystery to me...any ideas how they did it?

aaron886 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 The only conceivable way someone could do that without padlock, in my mind, would be to record at verrrry slow speed and carefully track the missile with the mouse. They could then speed it up when editing. This thread should be placed elsewhere, however, as it has nothing to do with "Third Party Projects." Screenshots and Videos would be more appropriate. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9.JG27 DavidRed Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 oh waoh i must be tired to havent noticed that i put the thread in a complete wrong subsection.... anyway, you are speaking about padlocking....but how can you padlock a missile from such an angle?

karambiatos Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 you can move the camera around with alt plus F2 and then with F3 or alt F3 you can track the plane theres also a camera mode that allows you to track missiles fired from your plane, look at the camera options somethings got to be there, also they could have spliced those to together in an editing software. A 1000 flights, a 1000 crashes, perfect record. =&arrFilter_pf[gameversion]=&arrFilter_pf[filelang]=&arrFilter_pf[aircraft]=&arrFilter_DATE_CREATE_1_DAYS_TO_BACK=&sort_by_order=TIMESTAMP_X_DESC"] Check out my random mods and things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team Glowing_Amraam Posted January 20, 2014 ED Team Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Since I am the one who made that shot, I can explain: First, I used "Freecam" view, using F11, and placing the camera somewhere far away from my plane. Then i hit CTRL-F3, and the view will snap to your plane, and start tracking you (just the same as hitting F3, flyby view). Then I slowed time down some, and recorded. When i saw the mav beeing launched, I paused the sim, hit CTRL-F11 to go back to freecam mode, then hitting the "follow ordnance" key, or whatever it's called. This way the camera will track bombs, missiles, etc.. Then i resumed the recording. And during editing, the 2 shots were alligned perfectly to make the transition seamless. A similar shot was made in this scene: Edited January 20, 2014 by Glowing_Amraam https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJRhtnqA-67pKmQ3A2GsgA ED youtube channel https://www.facebook.com/glowingamraam My facebook page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9.JG27 DavidRed Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 thx very very much glowing amraam.i will try that....although yesterday i tried the follow ordnance key as well and it did nothing for some reason....anyway will try it!thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9.JG27 DavidRed Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 i tried again, and the follow ordnance key stroke does nothing when i fire the missile....i have to say though, that i try to replicate your scene with the P51...

ED Team Glowing_Amraam Posted January 20, 2014 ED Team Share Posted January 20, 2014 Try using the "Del" key on the numpad on your keyboard. This worked for me. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJRhtnqA-67pKmQ3A2GsgA ED youtube channel https://www.facebook.com/glowingamraam My facebook page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9.JG27 DavidRed Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 thx for the answer...but i already did try that many times...hitting the numpad Del key only tracks my plane....at least 99 out of 100times... i did manage to track the missile once or twice for some reason, but all the other failed attempts, well...failed. those two times, i dont know what i did different.for some reason it just tracked the missile suddenly.but by then i already lost my original view angle...im at a loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyntaxError Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Was trying now as well and got nothing. F/A-18C - A-10C - FC3 - L-39C/ZA - Ka-50 - UH-1H - Mi-8MTV2 - F-86F - Spitfire - P-51D - P-47D - BF-109K - CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irregular programming Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Actually, I didn't misunderstand, I did the same thing except I didn't pause or slowdown the video in my recording (around 1:38). r_I-DUrHFCg Wierd that it doesn't work for you guys.

Irregular programming Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 ok what exactly did you do? f2 view (should work with any) and del key on the numpad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9.JG27 DavidRed Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 well, i dont need to have it directly in view it seems...but it only works for me when im already in F2 view mode....and i have to have pressed the RCtrl+Num+ before i fire the missile.... then it will automatically switch to the missile view and track it...but again, there is then a switch of the view which doesnt lead at all to the result you have reached in your video... in all other views(F3,LCtrl+F3,LCtrl+F11,.....) even when i have direct view on the plane and the missile, it doesnt track the missile...
