Description

On all UAVs?
I didn't see this problem.
What control in game - Video "PIP"? If it is switched off, will be as at you.

Hello,

thank you for the feedback.

As @Lex suggested, please try to check your PIP settings in Options. If you have PIP disabled, you won't see PIP thus UAV cameras.
Additionally verification of the game data via Steam might be good.

Thank you

@Lex @razazel, You are both correct. Seems at some point I had flipped of PIP for my main branch profile. That would make sense. Evidently I had expected a placeholder image, akin to review mirrors in vehicles.

This can be marked as resolved, or left up for others. My only further comment would be to replace the "No Connection" box with a static image, such as a brief snapshot of what the PIP would have rendered, to be clearer. But that is a minor adjustment that couldn't even be called a tweak, and is hardly necessary.

Thank you @Lex and @razazel for taking the time to review.
