Camera zooming in and out

bikertox · Jul 17, 2015

I don't know if this has been mentioned before but is it possible to stop the camera from zooming in and out during flight? I would really prefer that it stays zoomed out. Note: I am not talking about the zoom that occurs when accessing the comms ui or the left and right panels.

It would also be nice if when 'climbing' the camera didn't pan up, which causes the enemy health bar, and the power distribution bars to drop below the viewable area. Love this game!

try switching your tv ratio settings, fit to screen setting seems to work well, you still pan up but less so

These are all aspects of the game that add to the immersion, the "zoom" in and out is relative to the speed and acceleration/deceleration of your ship, and the lpan relative to the g-forces the pilot is under.

There is a BUG with this feature/effect though. I have had it get STUCK in the full ZOOM IN, and once while I was under attack which made it impossible for me to see what I was doing. I couldn't get it to zoom back to normal so I had to save and quit, since I had no way to see any of my controls.

It did this to me all I did was quickly change to systems and it seemed to free its self up

i know what you mean, it's annoying as hell especially during combat and keeping an eye on hull capacity

No offense, but unless this is a setting within the game that I have not seen, this is not the solution. My TV settings themselves are correct.

If you get stuck in zoom mode...tap the B button. Sorts it right out

This is the effect of turning hard, right? If so it cannot be changed as it's there for the SIM part of Open world space sim.

I'm with the Op. It's a right pain having vital combat information not viewable when pulling up (as it were).
Adjusting my TV setting has not made this better.

Does this happen on the PC version also?

Currently I believe the game's aspect itself is set wron and the player cannot adjust it, first Xbox game I've seen without that option in year's.
