Why Padlock is an awesome feature you should be using | Star Citizen

  • Опубліковано 15 жов 2021
  • Padlock is a simple function that is common in many other simulation games like DCS and IL-2. What it does is tracks your view onto your target automatically and holds it. Giving you better overall situational awareness when in a dogfight. It can be a great substitute for those that do not have hardware trackers like TrackIR, Tobii, or FOIP. In this video, we'll talk about how to enable it at all times and how to enable it via keybinds. As well as briefly discussing the pros and cons.

    Edit: If you want to see Padlock in action. Check out my previous M50 dogfighting video where I am exclusively using it. This will give you a better idea of how well it works and if you feel like the feature is right for you.
    ua-cam.com/video/OmylzupQNcQ/v-deo.html
    Padlocking is an under apprieciated feature that is built into Star Citizen. It is not perfect, but for those of you that want to get a bit more situation awareness out of your dogfights but lack hardware trackers. Then this may be a solution for you. Again, I highly recommend you utilize this with the keybind as it allows you to switch off and on padlock at will. Especially, if it does anything wonky or it feels like more of a hinderance due to bugs or any other issues.
    Have you already tried it out yet? Let me know what you think of it!

      One that CIG is seriously doing right is all of the character controls, my favorite that I wish every game would start doing is using the scroll wheel to adjust walk/run speed, I hate first person RPGs where you don't have good control over your characters movement speed now, its such a little thing that makes the experience so much more immersive.

    • @jasonfrost5025

    I use my phone for hear tracking, via smoothtrack ($10) and opentrack (free). I've never tried Track IR so I can't compare it to a dedicated system, but it works great for me. For faster tracking, use gnirehtet (free) to use your phone over usb rather than wifi. The cam on your phone is already far superior to almost any webcam. Why not use it?

    Hey great vid. Not many people have mentioned this feature. Have used it in other sims and it works great. I have trackir on one rig and although a bit cumbersome (having to wear hat or head piece) it works excellent but recently set up another system without Trackir so this is a God send. Going to use the auto and a joystick key binding for this feature as suggested. Like how it breaks lock when enemy gets out of view. The one thing I didn't know about was that you can use the FOIP as a form of head tracking. I've seen the FOIP function for face movement recognition before but good on CIG to make it usable as a head tracker. Everyone has a little camera kicking around. Awesome.

    • @Jamie-666

      Good question. All padlock does put the target centre screen. You could theoretically use Tobii/TrackIR for slow-moving targets, as all you're doing with these is moving your head relative to 0,0 on screen co-ords. Fast targets would be a mess. It'd be nice to have the option, however.
