You mean how to access the external views, or how to set them up the way you want?Takahashi_Yuuki wrote:Thanks, unfortunately it seems I haven't a clue how the view system works.

External views are accessed by the 'V' key on a normal setup. I /think/ there's a default set of external views that apply if the ship oxp doesn't define its own for that type. Because the view is locked to the ship, if it's not aligned/set up properly it can just look like a blank view of the surroundings with no ship visible, either because the camera is set too close and is inside the model, or pointing at a weird angle (an external view doesn't /have/ to even show your own ship, I have mine set as a series of 'zoom lenses' that magnify distant objects for a better look).Takahashi_Yuuki wrote:Diziet Sma wrote:You mean how to access the external views, or how to set them up the way you want?Takahashi_Yuuki wrote:Thanks, unfortunately it seems I haven't a clue how the view system works.
How to access them, I can see what I assume to be the internal views, but I can't seem to identify the external views.
Yes, and all playable ships should have its own external views to match to the size of the ship and avoid viewing from too close or too far.Layne wrote:I /think/ there's a default set of external views that apply if the ship oxp doesn't define its own for that type.
