Hi Everyone!!!

Post by Random Code »

Greetings Commanders!

Wow, what can I say... Had a bout of nostalgia this evening and came across this amazing piece of software... :lol: Absolutely awesome stuff. Kudos, respect, and undying gratitude to everyone that's worked on this game and the OXDs - I'm totally awestruck by how great this all is!

So, just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. HELLO!

Oh, and a quick question... Is it possible to view your ship externally so that you can take prettier screenshots? If so, what are the keys - I can't seem to find them.

Cheers,
RC

Hi and welcome Random Code. Regarding your question, the external views key is 'v'. In order for it to work, the ship you are trying to view must have the key custom_views in its shipdata file. However, there is no free roaming external camera at the moment, only fixed predefined camera positions.
