Can you take control (I know you "can't control" it recorded) but can you switch to see from the other planes point of view during your playback? If so how? The key I map is not working. I can select it with select nearest enemy aircraft but cannot jump into position to see what they saw. If that makes any sense. If you know how what commands do I need to bind?

Thanks

Haven't tried it but i think it's the same command that you use to jump to a different aircraft during gameplay. I think the default key combination for that is alt-F1 and it will give you the cockpit view of the aircraft you are currently following in external view.

I found it. It's "next enemy" aircraft not the "take control" command. Using this you can jump from one enemy AI craft to the next.

I was able to see from the AI POV this run on them.

Ah, i thought you wanted to get into their cockpit after viewing them from external view while you simply wanted to cycle aircraft in external. Obviously the "cockpit view of AI aircraft" command probably won't work in non-flyables ones that don't have a cockpit model :grin:

Another way to quickly switch the camera to a particular aircraft without having to cycle through the rest of them is via the on-screen menus. Enable the mouse cursor if it's not already there (default key is F10), right click on your screen and you'll get a menu listing all aircraft and objects in the mission (flak guns, vehicles, trains, etc), which you can then select to view. ;)
