More neat crap I just found out...
on: November 15, 2004, 06:48:05 pm
....that wasn't even mentioned in the manual or here. That means more news for me.

If you press the keypad 0 and 2 together, you get this cool red dot in front of your sreen.  :eek2:

But that's not all! :eek:

 Now you can let go of the 2 and use the other keypad numbers to rotate the camera without  moving your ship!

I don't know if the SCP did this but it's a sure damn cool neato fantasic  leet ass feature that make this flight sim game more simmy. Yum yum.
I finally destoryed the Shivan armada and all I got was this lousy T shirt.

It's been there since Retail.

I always switch the afterburner from Tab to Pad0, but occasionally I forgot to do it with new pilots, so that's how I found the freelook.

I thought it was the '.' on the keypad?  Anyways, can also use the hat for this.  Sadly a bit pointless IMO.

"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

I still use my HAT for POV - quite handy when you have someone on your six or to dodge AAA fire in Inferno.
