Camera mode not working

[rbreckwoldt]

I am unable to get the camera mode to anything but the fixed position view. I used to be able to the cockpit and chase modes, but for some reason now they are greyed out and unable to be activated. I have done nothing differently to the program. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. I really did not want to reinstall the whole program, as I have a lot of add ons and expansion packs on this version, but if that is the only solution, then so be it.
Thank you.

Rick

Wait! No need to re-install.

Multiple camera modes are not available on Photofields.
A photofield is a panorama taken from a single spot, no way you can do cockpit and chase mode.

Cockpit and chase modes are available in 3D fields such as flight school etc. Because the scenery is computer generated unlike a photograph.

Thanks, that was the problem

Shew!! I'm glad, I was going to recommend reformatting the hard drive.

How can you tell which fields allow chase view ?

When you select the field if it's "in" a Photofields folder none of the "camera" views will work.

Thanks, I was looking for an indicator instead of having to go though all of the fields.
