[italianofalco]

Hi all I've the problem I'not able to set my "camera" view from any ground obyect (eg. want to see action from a tank/aaa position/cars column etc. I have all views commands mapped into keyboard (like next enemy ground/chase view etc..) but I'm not able to see action from terrains groundforces.Any suggestion about what may be the fault? Thank in advance for help.

Hello italianfalco,

Are you having this problem in missions you have created yourself or by others? In order to 'see' the action on the ground, the mission creator has to have placed static cameras in the mission at appropriate places.

You're not doing anything wrong. It's not possible to 'attach' a camera to an object/vehicle.

The Camera(s) simply float in the air at the altitude you designate in the FMB.

No,no:
I mean I can't see EXTERNAL VIEWS from ground enemy/friendly grounds units perspective

External view is only available from aircraft; ground units do not have this ability.

Make sure you have a key set to look at he cameras you have placed in the mission.

Again, this is not possible.

Hmm..and then what's about (under setting.ini):

[HotKey aircraftView]
F7 = ViewEnemyGround <<<<< ??
Alt F7 = ViewEnemyDirectGround <<<< ??

even if I tryed to set this into conf.ini and don't work I really think there's a chance to have this visual.. may be good 4 a mod?

Those are two of your default control commands. F7 is 'External Padlock,Enemy Ground' and Alt+F7 is 'External Padlock,Closest Enemy Ground'.

To clarify, they are views from your aircraft to a ground object and will only work if:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE> <LI> You have the No external views difficulty setting turned off; AND
<LI> There is a ground object of the relevant type within padlock range.[/list]
