Oh I didn't realise it set a separate set of angles for each ship, that's super helpful! I hadn't thought to use these for CCTV but I do use them for top-down landing cameras, checking exit ramps are touching the ground, and a nose cam for beauty shots 😄
Another thing you can do instead of holding free look is to simply hit right shift which will lock your ships movement but in camera mode it allows you to look freely.
THANK U SO MUCH, never seen or thought of using them in this way. Have one setup looking down from under my ship that was setup in eva and another looking back on my ramp to see if it's clear and on the ground.
This is amazing! I hope they save the setting each time so we don’t have to reset them. If we have to reset them each time idk if I can be bothered tbh. Very cool tho! Very good for communication and ship security
@Vioblight Gaming another thing I forgot to mention. Ever wish there was a way to turn off the HUD? Set up a camera view just in front of the cockpit, basically the same as 1st person, but without HUD (and other obstructions)
For even more immersion, i only place the view where a camera could be attached, no 3rd person floating camera. Makes landing a challenging simulation.
what a great idea, I never new the cameras could move into the ship. I have tried saving cameras in the past but it always seem to loose the saved positions so I stopped bothering to set them up
Two questions : Does saving these camera angles persist if you get out (since MFD's don't save) and/or logout completely ? And is this per-ship saved accordingly?
Great tip and great videos! But how do you save a different profile for other ships? Is it a complete keybind profile with only a diff. camera setup or am i missing something?
This is genius, I’m going to start doing this. My question is do these saved profiles carry over even after quitting the game if so are saved per ship or do you have to customize it every time you get in that ship?
They’re saved as your nine presets between saves, but for example it’s not possible to have profiles for multiple ships at the same time on a modifier (you’d need to adjust them for different ships if you switch). I know some people just have a few cam set for a few different ships (1-3 Carrack, 4-6 C2, 7-9 vanguard etc).
I had set up ship views for landing in horizontal (looking forward at gear) and vertical (looking down onto top) hangers. Both views can be used to observe movement. It's a shame I have to click "F4" plus a keypad number, versus a single number or single key that cycles through my programed views? ;-)
With some software (be it your keyboard's official one like Logitech or some other third party software tool if you have some generic keyboard) you can make each numpad key a macro. I.E you pressing 1 on numpad has it actually press F4 + 1 via the software. And so on for the rest of the keys. I don't have a numpad section on my keyboard (Logitech G15 TKL) but i use macro's to have this function as a landing cam on the F keys
does the presets save per ship (aka can you make presets for every ship you have)? can other "passengers" also use these presets when on the ship or do they have to do their own?
"...with Camera angles covering front and rear entry point." hey, just like my onlyfans! heheh, j/k, quite a nice vid, i hadnt thought of using the extra camera modes and such for cctv purposes, i may have to mess around with it a bit
Yeah actual ship defences like internal turrets or cctv that could be hacked and turned against the defenders would make for some incredible gameplay. I figure we might start seeing this on bigger ships.
This will eventually have to be patched out. It seems to unintentionally wreck Stealth gameplay and smuggling. If a player is searching a mercury for contraband, they can just fly through the walls with a immaterial camera.
Damn I had no clue that this was a thing. Ima setup immersive ass rearview and landing cameras on all my ships now. Thanks brother.
No worries mate! Yeah they’re really useful as landing cams 👍
Very good, been using this method to make landing cameras for various ships, but I really like the CCTV idea
Yeah they’re really useful as landing cams as well for sure!
Oh I didn't realise it set a separate set of angles for each ship, that's super helpful! I hadn't thought to use these for CCTV but I do use them for top-down landing cameras, checking exit ramps are touching the ground, and a nose cam for beauty shots 😄
been playing since 2017 and was news to me! thanks:)
And just as I am thinking to start back in RUclips with Star Citizen content, I get a tutorial for camera controls. Much appreciated!
Another thing you can do instead of holding free look is to simply hit right shift which will lock your ships movement but in camera mode it allows you to look freely.
Thought I was the only one who did this. Good stuff as always. :)
This makes sense how these guys get such good shots in their videos now.
THANK U SO MUCH, never seen or thought of using them in this way. Have one setup looking down from under my ship that was setup in eva and another looking back on my ramp to see if it's clear and on the ground.
Thats is so cool. This can change so much. I can't believe CCTV was in the game since so long
This is amazing! I hope they save the setting each time so we don’t have to reset them. If we have to reset them each time idk if I can be bothered tbh. Very cool tho! Very good for communication and ship security
It does save each time, even saved through the wipe!!! ALSO, saves unique settings for each ship in your fleet.
@@gregalden1101 that’s amazing! Ok I’ll be setting these up 100%

Fantastic! This is exacly what i need for my cutter. A quick backup camera for scooping stuff out of space
Thank you Awesome and great infographic full credit to Mr. Hasgaha too.
Truly underrated SC video.
Anyone familiar with XPlane or even MSFS will be pretty comfortable with this. Great guide man, thanks!
Yeah very cool feature! If you have something like gameglass you can setup all the feeds to display at once on your iPad or phone. Proper CCTV system!
I knew about the various camera positions but as cctv is a great idea
Awesome video. I've been trying to figure out advanced camera controls. Keep it up ❤
Simple concept but brilliant. Definitely going to try it.
Sometimes simple is best 😂
Smart!
Just like using reshade presets for nightvision to solve the darkness, this uses the ingame tools to solve another!
Thank you so much for this! Very helpful!!
Wow thank you for showing us this!
what a great idea, I never new the cameras could move into the ship. I have tried saving cameras in the past but it always seem to loose the saved positions so I stopped bothering to set them up
Wow ... Very nice ! Thanks
its good to know thanks ^^ Duno if i will bother with it much at this point but knowing about it is a good thing ^^
Brilliant!! I haven't put much time into the camera stuff, you've made it look easy. Time to make it work I guess... Cheers
Two questions : Does saving these camera angles persist if you get out (since MFD's don't save) and/or logout completely ? And is this per-ship saved accordingly?
This is a great video thanks!
Awesome video, thank you mate, i feel safer in my Carrack already :)
why should we wait for cig when we can make our own features for the game? great vid
About time someone made this I might of guest you would of been the one to inform us well done.
I realise that much like many things a lot of people realised this was a thing before me but nobody decided to tell anyone else 😂
Brilliant!!!
Thats cool, i never knew!
Cool idea ! 👌
Great tip
Love it!
when you save presets, are the presets global or per ship?
Found my own answer…on foot and Eva presets are global and each vehicle has its own presets. Also presets are stored on your computer.
Loud Guns Rules!
😂 Cheers Ryan!
Great tip and great videos! But how do you save a different profile for other ships? Is it a complete keybind profile with only a diff. camera setup or am i missing something?
Did I miss something or is there a way to save the camera views so they don't have to be re-configured everytime I play or switch ships?
This is genius, I’m going to start doing this. My question is do these saved profiles carry over even after quitting the game if so are saved per ship or do you have to customize it every time you get in that ship?
They’re saved as your nine presets between saves, but for example it’s not possible to have profiles for multiple ships at the same time on a modifier (you’d need to adjust them for different ships if you switch). I know some people just have a few cam set for a few different ships (1-3 Carrack, 4-6 C2, 7-9 vanguard etc).
@@LoudGuns Good to know! thanks for the reply.
Do the saved views persist between sessions, or at least when exiting and reentering a ship entirely?
Annoyingly I have a TKL keyboard. Wonder if I can make it work with the stream deck 🤔
is there a way to output the camera view to a separate program so you can use it like a true cctv??
Cheers.
My camera sways constantly while in any of the cameras, is there a fix for this?
GameGlass has these setup already.
Interesting, not something I’ve used really but cool that it has it.
had no idea
every time I relog to the game I gotta set it up again,
right?
never tried it to get view inside ship but interesting
I didn't know you can save the views, do they save different per ship?
I had set up ship views for landing in horizontal (looking forward at gear) and vertical (looking down onto top) hangers.
Both views can be used to observe movement.
It's a shame I have to click "F4" plus a keypad number, versus a single number or single key that cycles through my programed views? ;-)

Epic!!!
Nice

It does save unique presets for each ship. No, to passenger use as the camera views are part of character profile.
@@gregalden1101 Thx
Very cleaver and useful. but actually hope this goes away and is replaced by actual cameras(that can be hacked or disabled) as it is kind of a sploit
Are these views universal or saved per ship?
Great!, want aware these views can be saved.
Damn that's useful thanks 👍
Wow, is this unique to each of your ships?
"...with Camera angles covering front and rear entry point." hey, just like my onlyfans! heheh, j/k, quite a nice vid, i hadnt thought of using the extra camera modes and such for cctv purposes, i may have to mess around with it a bit
I wish the cameras were static on acceleration. The bouncing around is annoying and doesn't look good.
Good idea. Too bad you gave our secretz to the enemy tho!!!
Haha this is true, I’m secretly a pirate don’t y’know 😂
Lel, I recently explained this to people too
couldnt get it work for me 🤷♂
Hope we get proper interior CCTV! maybe it could even be hacked to give boarders an advantage
Even better, auto turrets that would kill all the borders on sight. Unhackable!
Yeah actual ship defences like internal turrets or cctv that could be hacked and turned against the defenders would make for some incredible gameplay. I figure we might start seeing this on bigger ships.
FIRST! Hi Loudguns.
Howdy Ian! Enjoy your medal - 🥇
@@LoudGuns YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!
