POV-hat for look

Post by Maj. Tom »

Hi everyone,

I noticed in regards to POV-hat there are two settings from what I see. One where it springs back, but POV-up looks up without panning, and down looks back. The 2nd setting pans as I would want it, but doesn't spring back.

Is it possible to have POV panning in all directions while still having it spring back?

Thanks

There isn't a spring back option for the manual pan control. However, re-centering is made a little easier in that mode by only requiring you to be close to the middle for it to automatically re-center the view. Easiest way to do that is to use the gunsight as your guide and just get it close to the middle of the screen, the game will re-center the view once it's within about 5 degrees of center.

Yeah, I did notice that it snaps back into place though, so that's good. Thanks, that answers my question. I won't go looking for a feature that doesn't exist.

:cool: If my HAT refuses to re-center, I simply press the Home key. Works every time. ;)

That's handy, actually... I can probably map the button near the pov hat to do that.

:cool: I think the default "view" keys are Insert, Home, Page Up and End ... any of which will re-center your view after releasing the key. (Btw, there is a keyboard reference "sheet" located in the main game folder.)
