camera pitching

Postby atomicsheep » 27 Oct 2012, 22:32

Hello from a supcom 2 guy.

Ok so I buy FA and see that controls are all the same as SupCom2, good.

However i notice that when using space to pitch around a little, whne i let go of spacebar the camera returns to its original position.

I hate playing the game in such a top down view, id always played it with a slight tilt.

How do I get the camera angle to stay put once i let go of the spacebar (like it does in supcom2)

You can change the camera pitch (near and far - that's how it's slightly tilted when zoomed in) with console commands, don't use free camera for that.

There is a UI mod that allow you to run console commands each time you start the game.
