Satellite Imagery Camera?

[ofpeditor]

Are there any available ways to simulate satellite images from above the islands?

Just wondering...hoping to capture "satellite" screenshots to include in a briefing...

Can't you just point the camera at the ground in your script from a high altitude, and maybe use a custom resource to show its a sat.

I haven't had a chance to use this yet but it looks rather tasty

It's obviously the Satellite script/download.

Yeah that satellite script is very, very good. But it doesn't for multi-player Well worth a download

the DL is one of the best I've had in a while...well worth it as previously mentioned.

One question, however...

The starting location for the satellite imagery is always the point at which the player started the mission at. Is there a way to change it so that the satellite, when activated is already pointing at a predefined location?

Thanks in advance for any help...

I'm not a 100% sure, but I think it shows the view from wherever the player is at the time he activates it. If this isn't the case try moving the 3 triggers around (1 at a time) I think the exec satellite.sqm trigger is the one  you need. (Just adjust the zoom parameters to fit your needs.)

Hi,

saw this thread today, and here's the solution. In the satellite/init.sqs it reads:

Code: [Select]

; default position for Satellite (you may set SAT_POS with i.e. onMapSingleClick,
; so satellite position is more flexible!)
SAT_POS = getpos player

So, in game just set SAT_POS to any position you like; the satellite view will be set to this position!
