I'll get back to you when I'm back on my gaming computer, but it basically involves holding down a joystick button and then zooming in and out with the mouse.

Oh, that's not an option in combat
Why don't we have normal zoom in/out buttons?!

Great video, thanks!

Why was all turning red after you were shot in the leg? Blood on your goggles?

Reflected, well, I actually think it works nice in combat.

Macademic, Yeah, I was hit. I guess it is meant to simulate partial loss of consciousness, or pain, or some such thing...

To reflected and others: to get the smooth zooming in/zooming out, you have to go into:

Control options,
Camera,
And set "Hold to adjust view" to whichever button you prefer (keyboard or joystick)

- If you then hold down that button and move your mouse forward or backward it will change the field of view in a gradual way.

It is an ok option to have, but it would be much better if CoD allowed you to set a "zoom in"-button and a "zoom out"-button, as in - for example - RoF.

nice video again, enjoyable to watch ( btw, what are your system specs and detail settings ?)

has this been requested as a feature for BoB ? when i watch your video's i always skip forward over the initial 30% which has the boring wait time. the extensive waiting times for engine warmups at frontline and forward airbases is just not realistic. its a classic case about trying to be "full real" about something that isnt realistic at all.

should be easy enough for luthier to amend, add an option for "allow pit crews to warm engines in correct historical setting" (ex a complete cold start in some situations might be realistic, eg for bombers/fighters going on an offensive mission from a rear base)

a dedicated thread could attract luthiers attention to it, i am sure it wouldnt be difficult or time consuming to amend

Another little movie from Cliffs of Dover. Flying online this time and scrambling in my Spitfire from Hawkinge. Since the sounds were revamped the engine start-up is even more enjoyable than before. Also the whine of the Bf-109 superchargers as they fly by is just superb. The same cannot be said for my prowess against human opponents, but I'm sure I'll learn, and meanwhile it is lots of fun, even when I'm clobbered! ...

Enjoy this one, and as always, comments very welcome!

Cheers,
Freycinet
