Fighter movement/view

June 1, 2007 2:54:27 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
Wanting to watch a fighter doing an attack run I noticed that the screen does not keep up with the fighter. It causes the screen to stutter (ie the fighter will move practically off screen the the camera will adjust itself to put the fighter back in the center view causing a stuttering action.

Ctrl band box the fighter once you have zoomed in (this makes it easier to catch the little guy as he whips around).  You are probably watching the squadron's estimated control point which not neccessarily where the fighter model is.

If anyone is interested, I do 99% of all my camera movement, selection and focusing operations in Sins using ctrl-bandbox. It just makes things so much simpler.

Actually it was a single remaining enemy fighter. Maybe I had the camera too close.

I was checking to see how the other ships reacted to this mosquito.
