You can cycle through the available viewpoints, by pressing V, shift + V.

All viewpoint are also accessible via the F1-F4 keys

By press and hold the right mouse key you can move the viewport in any direction.

With ctrl + V you fix the view to the heading of the ship

Binocular view

In every viewpoint except the external view, you can zoom in/out with the mouse wheel. On maximum zoom level you enter automatically the binocular mode where bearing and distance to the found object at the binocular crosshair is displayed.

Once you target another vessel with the haircross, it will be marked as unknown contact within the radio menu. See VHF radio chapter for more details.

On every viewport you can move around by using the arrow keys. The movement is limited to the ship dimensions.

Once you leave a viewpoint the position and view direction is stored. The position is also stored when closing the game until you enter the selected ship the next time.
