Hi,

few months back I asked how to get external tank views for 2.45.  A developer responded with the correct answer and I've loved playing SP since.  Today I've finally gotten round to removing 2.45 and getting 2.47; back to interior/top view of tank only in SP.  Can a mod/developer/peer please respond and tell me how to get external views for tanks in 2.47?  With 2.45 it was a case of adding some text to config.py, but there is none in 2.47.  Thanks for any help.

Oh, the current config.py file I have in that python folder actually has only two lines of text, very little.  Is that okay?  Do I just add the line you mentioned at the bottom?

So I'll update you on what I've done so far. 

I found out, from a developer's old post on the forums, that to get 3rd person views tankwise on singleplayer could be done by editing gameplayplugin.py, adding the word 'testing' to one of the lines of text, after the word spawnwave.  However, since that post, the developers made the file a .pyc file which was humanly unreadable. 

So I managed to find an online decompile tool to make the file readable again, pasted that text into a notepad file, added the word 'testing' in the right place and called the file gameplayplugin.py. 

Now that's all well and good, but I'm guessing that if I replaced that .pyc file with the .py file in the relevant FH2 folder, the game just wouldn't work.  I guess it's got to be converted back into a .pyc file.  That's where you guys come in.  Please tell me how I could do that.

Better yet, maybe one of the developers could quickly edit and send me another .pyc file that allows for SP 3rd person tank views already. 

Many thanks.

Hello sirs,
so two issues.

I installed Bf2, then 1.5 patch, then FH2.  I head over to FH2 to play Singleplayer maps (I don't use Multi, bad connection issues).  But with several of the maps I'll click to play/join game and the game just closes back to the desktop.  HP Laptop with IntelHD4000, 6GB RAM, Windows 8, 750gb HDD.

Second issue; I see that others have asked about this but I want to make sure what the correct answer is.  I want to see the tank I'm driving it from the outside.  I press the 'c' button and, to my immense frustration, nothing happens!  Please help.  Remember, this is for Singleplayer games only.  To repeat yet another poster's findings, the file which appeared to have the answer was gameplayPlugin.py, but that no longer exists - it's now gameplayPlugin.pyc with strange characters etc.  Solve this mystery!

Many thanks.
