The Hodos Shuttle course

This had the potential to be an extremely fun and popular patrol mission.However playing this mission is far from that.because there is no camera lock so it stays facing forward.You just can't stay on track.when you are trying to adjust your camera you fly off course.To fix this so that this is a more enjoyable mission and so you have a chance to break the course record I suggest that maybe once you fly through a check point the next one becomes a target lock this way the camera will center on it,Or they could add an option to lock camera forward for shuttles.

I wouldn't mind an option like that for all ship. And I agree, that patrol would be great if you didn't have to bother with the camera the whole time.
This forum raged when "Night of the comet" came out over its course, so much it was changed. I don't think it did over this. Wonder if the player base changed or I just missed the flames.
Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!
You can set it up in the Option Menu for keybinds, so you don't need to make a keybind.
If you are handy with keybinds, you can also try ++CamMouseLook and ++CamTurnToFace. I have it and these feature are now toggles, so you don't need to hold down a key/button all the time.
Best time 129. Love the mission, hate the shoot out at the end. Why is it that we always have to fight? Because all of this combat, I don't have time to get interested in the story.
This right here is the easiest way to do the course without shifting settings back and forth.
Minor course corrections I do with the mouse.
for some of the harder turns I user WASD keys while using Q and E for throttle controI.
I fly the whole course at full impulse and just regulate the speed for the turns if necessary.
I don't use evasive maneuvers, allthough for teh really long stretches that might help sqeezing out a few more seconds. But you should know the track for that really well to not overshoot a sudden sharp turn.
Getting back on track once you missed a goal is a pain.
Of my 3 runs my end results were somewhere around 180 on first try and then followed by 119 and 121.
So I beat Paris`time twice without much problem.
It's a shame there is no Hot Shot accolade or extra reward for achieving this or even at least the game remembering your own best time.
I actually have it that way be default since I like it.

I always steer in flight with both mouse buttons held down. It took a while to get used to the course, but once I did, I could go through at full impulse the whole way with rarely a mistake.
That time is my best yet, with a Peregrine at full impulse the whole way, no Evasive Maneuvers or any other special abilities, and a Mk XII [Full]x2 impulse engine.
