Help. looking around ship.

Lankspeed · Jun 11, 2015

I have a problem.
Several months ago I crashed in a station due to a NPC getting in the way at the time Tech-support told me I should have used the look up facility HOW?
As I now have an Anaconda I do not want it Broken so I need to bind keys to look around Again I ask how?

P.S. This may not be the right for this message. So Mods Move it if necessary.

In Options, then Controls, look for the key bind for 'Headlook' - I set this to be a key, and then make it a 'Toggle' mode button.

Lower down, there is an area of controls called 'Headlook Mode' - these are the controls that apply once you go into Headlook mode.

So when you hit the 'Headlook' key you bound, it puts you in Headlook Mode and you use the keys in that area of the controls to look around, and then to turn it off, you hit the 'Headlook' key again.

I hope that helps!

Have you mapped a key for the headlook toggle? You have to press (or hold, if not a toggle) this key first, then you can look around.

Headlook allows you to 'look' around with your pilot's 'head', rather than the ship's nose.

Oh Mother! why was I not aware of this feature. I Thought this was only to do with Virtual Reality modes.

Just shows you what an old Dinosaur I am.

Lankspeed, The old git leaves Shame-faced.

It's fine - you'll never know unless you ask. I've asked for info before on the forums myself.
