I was messing up with Steelbeast when I noticed something minor that began to bug me.
After playing other sims and getting used to use Track-IR I wanted to use it on steelbeast as well. And as I have often been tunnel visioned there I got an idea... On certain vehicles namely cv9030s... there is this screen called VIS, that allows a secondary view, and to top that there is as well small monitor for thermal imager. So... crewmember doesnt have to look at the main optics, but can observe and follow these secondary sights. I tested it and found it very usefull.
Though... there was just problem after another until I cave up.
first problem. Gunner cannot use joystic while not tunnel visioned into optics. - On commander this is better, he can since he overrides with P-key.
Solution - Gunner can choose to use option "control handle" instead. This requires that he has to press palmswich while steering joystic to control gun.
Second problem... while in cabin view... F1... neither Gunner nor Commander cannot Zoom TIS even when it is on their control handles. But when they tunnel vision into optics... they can. FUN!
I tried to solve this by taking all other controls away... but no it remains like that. apparently such option was never considered while making steelbeast.
