We often see beautiful screenshots of WOFF ac in this forum, taken from a variety of angles. Somehow I’ve gained the impression that these are sometimes of non-player ac.

Is this true? If so, how is it done please? I can only find WOFF keys for external views of the player’s ac, not for other machines (like the “F6” functionality in FE2/SF2). Also, I can only get a couple of fixed external viewpoints, from 3 o’clock and 6 o’clock positions.

What am I missing here? Apologies if this has been asked before.

Thanks

Mike

Many of the views you can pan around the player craft too with arrow keys etc, but to get an external view of enemy, first target one using the TAC then cycle using F1 to "Player-Target view"
Now V will toggle player-to-target or target-to-player. You can't pan that view though.
Discussed in section 22 of the WOFF BH&H II FAQ (see website support page).

To pan around other aircraft, then using the experimental "Observer" view ("J") you can fly around and look at things with stick controls and numpad arrow keys to move up down etc, you fly through the air or press mouse whilst in obs view, and now you are "stuck" to each object (cycled with each mouse click through objects). Warning observer view will show oddities please do not post screenshots of those, it is experimental.
