Putting a Kondor on the ground

jamesdietz · #1 01-18-2015, 08:03 PM

I have a simple for you ( not for me...) I'd like to take screenshots at different angles of a FW-200Kondor on the ground.I don't care what airfield it is just on the ground at a certain time of day.I can get the plane in the air now but have no idea on how to place it on the ground.Can someone walk me through this probaly simple proceedure.I haven't fool around with the FMB all that much...

isn`t there a tickbox that says "spawn parked" or something?

Copy the file for Notepad and save as Condor.mis inside

...\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD\missions\Single\

Select on Single Mission, since the mission don't have plane for player, after the mission load click on BACK and then on FLY.

Are two Condors, the first on runway will disappear in a minute - he don't have fuel.
If I set then On park, or Idle, or set fuel they hit the propellers on ground at spawn - don't know why (seems bugged like Sunderland).

The other is static. And have some cameras around (CTRL+F2).

One near one "It's CloD!".

Left mouse click at start of code text, hold move cursor to the end, to select the text.

Now hit Ctrl+C or right mouse click and select Copy on menu.

Open the Notepad (Start > All Programs > Accessories).

Past the text, Ctrl+V or right click on screen and select Past on menu, or select Edit on top bar and select Past.

Now click on File and select Save As.

Type the mission name, e.g. Condor.mis

And in the box bellow - Type - select "All files", not "text".

iT WORKED!!! NOW i'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO SHOOT THIS BIG BIRD WITHOUT GETTING "LENSE DISTORTION". eVEN AT 90 MM SETTING i'M GETTING CURVATURE SITORTION BECAUSE OF THAT BIG WING IN AKMOST EVERY ANGLE SHOT SHOWING THE WHOLE AIRCRAFT.

I don't know much more than yourself really...I'm technically challenged

So this is just a suggestion that may or not make sense:

It is probably better to use a telephoto angle of view, rather than wide angel, and then move the viewing point a lot further away from the plane to get it in to the frame. That way there shouldn't be as much distortion, or none at all.

I just use the standard game view settings, and chose the one with the narrowest angel of view...then move your point of view back (I'm not sure if this works for placed cameras) by using the mouse buttons...I think it's middle mouse button plus right mouse button (at the same time), and drag the mouse towards you.

In outside view (F2):

PAN around aircraft (aircraft centred) = Mouse middle + move mouse around

Point of view IN-OUT (ZOOM) = mouse middle + right mouse button and move mouse forward and back to zoom

PAN to side (offset pan, aircraft un-centred) = Mouse middle + mouse left and move mouse around

I hope you can get it to work.
Cheers.

Yes that does work better,but now something odd is happening.I easily get to the Misc Object Fw-200& yes center on it ,but I can't seem to do a 360 around it.I can get around about 180 or so but even using the mouse I get stopped from going all the way around.This doesn't usually happen with smaller aircraft,could the wingspan of the Kondor be part of the problem?
