How do you manage flying with your slaves mounts in your face?

Increase camera distance?

This. I actually set up Octopus to write the SetCameraDistA/b/c/d variables so I have default camera views that are close-up and far-away to compensate for these various issues.

You can set your camera distance beyond the standard game one.

/script SetCVar("cameraDistanceMax",30)

I believe 30 is the cap, you can decrease that number if you want.

I think 30 is the max for the UI set MaxDistance (Where you move the slider) I think 50 is max value.

/script SetCVar("cameraDistanceMax",50)

You can go quite a bit past the UI Max camera distance.

Another great one is:
/console pitchlimit 99999999

Lets you fly upside down! (Other people see you as upside down too) Love that macro...

Slightly offtopic,..
I hardly ever have trouble with running/ground mount, but on flying mount with /follow I lose follow pretty often at the edge of zones/phases it seems and my slaves will not be visible on my mains account nad visa versa untill I pass this border. Once I go 20 yards over this border I am then visible again.

Since I am not visible I can not use follow, any idea how to get round this ? I've been hitting autorun then hammering follow again but it happens soo often in certain zones, it almost seems more efficient to just leave autorun on then correct the flightpath a bit every few mins :/

You want independent slave movement keys.
My arrow keys send movement instructions to the slaves, but not the active character.
Meanwhile my WASD send movement to the active character but not the slaves.

I use follow 99% of the time for movement.
But if you need the slaves to cross a phase line, hold the forward arrow for a few seconds.
Or that can be useful to have them move out of puddles of acid in instances too.

[Protlover]

Yeah, thats what I mean, I have up/down arrow to only move on my slaves. Was hoping there was another way around this phasing :/

I tend to use ground mounts to get around this issue or the flight path gryfons

Australian latency means my slaves follow at a visual distance of over 40 yds.

I just push forward using the arrow keys when I'm coming up on a phaseline and let Jamba's follow strobing pick everyone up after the phase. It's just one of those things you learn to deal with and get used to.

[JackBurton]

For those of you like me that dont like using Jamba Strobe all the time. Scenerios that its essential are Phasing, Swimming, and Flying.

[Ualaa]

I don't use strobe ever, well haven't in forever anyway.

I have follow on a mouse thumb button, which I use frequently.
And then independent slave movement keys, to get them across a phase line (forward arrow, to continue moving in the same direction) and then hit normal follow again.

Pretty easy, if a bit annoying at the frequency of phase lines in some areas of the game.
