Anyone know the command or does one exist to change Player View position?? It was F4 in UT2k4. I cannot figure it out now? I liked driving my Manta vehicle from inside the cockpit much better!!!

:moreconf: Thanks for any help.

Yup, UT2004 was bloated with too many features, so they took that and many others out. :loopy:

Thanks for the info! :cool:

I am not happy about that one. NOT HAPPY AT ALL :mad:

That makes the Manta, Raptor and Fury Flying feel funny to me. The Cockpit was waaay better. I hope the idiot that made that decision reads this. Obviuosly they didn't think that one out. Flying vehicles should have the Cockpit View Option. period! :tsk:

Maybe they made a console command for this. ? That would have been the smart thing to do. :spank:

or perhaps they will see this and include it in the next 200 plus megabyte patch. I consider it a major flaw personally. :moon::angst:

Flying vehicles should allow you to feel like you are flying. Not stearing from inside severely reduces the fun/skill factor for me. :(
Plus, when you try to fly under a bridge, you really can't see and the video cannot adjust from near to far properly. ( or something like that ) It's awkward is what I'm saying.

Why it should be: As shown in the mini-clip below. Flying under a platform or stucture like this would be a very difficult manouver in UT3. Didn't anybody who plays this stuff actually test it?

Oh Well ... . . . .

ONS-Raptors_Rage (http://www.chasaha.com/Video_Clips/ONS-Raptor_0001.wmv) UT2k4 How it looked. <-- Example

ONS-PanCake (http://www.chasaha.com/Video_Clips/ONS-PanCake_007.wmv) UT2k4 MANTAS Mini-Video - Flying inside the Cockpit View

Now that was Fun. Realistic Flying

I liked the Leechvideo link above. It relates.

Ya, not having 1st perspective while flying and 3rd perspective while running sucks. They removed a lot of cool stuff for some reason. UT3 is clearly unfinished. Now, depending on UT3 sales they might release an expansion pack or a new version altogether, like UT3 2008. If they release a new version in a year or two, I'm crossing UT out permanently.

But the game did add a lot of cool stuff. I love VCTF with the hover-boards. That gametype alone makes the game worthwhile. You got 3rd perspective there, heh.

Thx. I knew it was in there but was too lazy to find out how to do it. What I miss are the adrenalines and the skills associated with them, the player trading system, the credits you gained from winning matches, the assault rifle, the spider mines, the mine layer, hell even the ripper (why on earth did they remove that weapon after UT99?). In the meantime, we are blessed with another edition of GOO GUN! Yipeeee!

What about the mousewheel?If I remember correctly use can go to first person view by either scrolling up or down(not sure) when in the vehicle.

I do like UT3. It's fun and has it's own, yet familiar feel.

However, I do really miss my cockpit view. It seems craaazy to me. :eek:

NOTE: I tested the TAB >behindview. Works for player. Thanks!!!

I guessed >cockpitview. Did not work. I figured as much.

I am hoping there is some command. If someone figures this out, that would be very good. :rockon: Maybe...

NOTE: I also tested Mouse scroll and scroll click. Nothing. View did not change. Was worth the try though.

Tried that just now and it works as I can scroll right into the vehicle and scroll out again....:confused:

I didn't know about the behindview thing, I gave it a quick try and somehow it was much easier playing with it. :p

:type: It really is Fun and more relaistic in UT2k4. I am talking mostly flying vehicles for me.

I was going to remake ONS-Raptors_Rage (http://www.unrealplayground.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=5802) and ONS-Pancake (http://www.unrealplayground.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=6205)as WAR maps, but I have decided not to now.

http://www.unrealplayground.com/forums/downloads/shot00096b1_A6q_thumb.jpg http://www.unrealplayground.com/forums/downloads/screenshot_6205_thumb.jpg

Instead I will remake ONS-Tank_Fight (http://www.unrealplayground.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=6339). The Tanks work great in UT3 and I have hope they will patch/fix the vehicle view in the near future.
