Fine, thank you very much! Your guides make all the difference when learning a new plane.

Hello Chuck, well... do you plan to make a guide for the Corsair?

Hi Chuck, Any chance we'll get one of your wonderful guides for the Corsair? Kind Regards, AC

Well, thanks, I am aware of that, but the texture that appears in the mirrors is beyond ugly... I'll just fold away the mirrors in the meantime. And as mentioned, it would be nice that the rotary switches, mirrors, etc in the wonderful corsair could be interacted on as pretty much all the other DCS planes....... ("one mouse click" -Mirrors- "ONLY mouse wheel turn" -rotary switches- E.G. light intensity.).

OK Rudel, thank you very much. I have a small suggestion, It would be nice if one could fold away the mirrors just with "one mouse click" over them, as most DCS planes do, instead of "click and drag mouse" or "click and mouse wheel turn" as it is the case now in the Corsair.

Well, whatever... Enough effort with his matter.. Anyway, I have found the solution. As mentioned, I have marked the file SnapViews.lua as "read only" and after several days of gameplay, I don't have this issue any more. If I want to change something in the SnapViews.lua I just remove temporarily the "read only" attribute and then apply it again. No biggie. Also, my file SnapViews.lua gets backed up daily in my Windows 11 file history. But remember, ED / DCS had a similar issue a couple of years ago, which eventually was resolved. Period.

O.K. right.. but what now?

Also one can not assign "center view" and "reset zoom" to the mouse. It would also be nice to simply use the mouse wheel to enact rotary switches, (as most DCS planes do) instead of having to keep pressed the right mouse button to do so. And, last but not least, It would be nice if one could fold away the mirrors just with "one mouse click" over them, (as most DCS planes do), instead of "click and drag mouse" or "click right mouse button and mouse wheel turn" as it is the case now in the Corsair.

Evidence is in the screenshots above, and in the fact that The Bigger Bass also has this issue, and with the F-16, most probably not in the Marianas map. Moreover, why would he and me invent something? To annoy you? These are not anecdotes but hard FACTS. Proof is since I have marked the file SnapViews.lua as "read only" I don't have this issue any more, As this bug tries to change the SnapViews.lua does not succeed because now is "read only"..... And BTW, the corsair and the huey missions I provided do not have baked in views.

So there you have it... I am glad I am not the only one.... As already mentioned, I think I have found a temporary workaround to this issue, at least until ED notices this thread and hopefully fix this issue....... I have marked the file SnapViews.lua as "read only", and it seems to work with all my missions, and even in the training missions. Ever so astonished by ED not showing signs of life concerning this matter.....

I completely agree that the Corsair is a great module that has great potential in DCS, even possibly also the best DCS WWII warbird... And I also very much appreciate the efforts of Mag3, although not the efforts to put a pilot's head in the mirrors. Though you forgot to mention in your observations that the head of the pilot do not appear at ALL in the F-18, no matter how extreme side or up viewpoint or zoom level is used.... I also use "only" a flatscreen.

Hi Rudel, I don’t understand… If, as you say, that is out of your control, and what is seen in the reflection is the external model pilot and cockpit, how come that some planes do not show the pilot in the mirrors AT ALL, no matter how extreme side or up viewpoint, or zoom level, like the F-18 and the A-10 and MIG-21. Granted, some show the pilot in the mirror, but only with extreme absurd side or up viewpoints like in the P-51, F-5 and Sabre. On ALL this planes in the external view, the pilot is very much present, without exception. So this is plane related, don’t you think?

I could set and save the default front view FOV just fine for my taste.,as other snap views. If there is a way to get read of the pilot I 'd be more than happy.

I totally agree. And not only the reflection looks very cartoonish, but the constant movement of the "pilot"on the reflection is very distracting! Also in my opinion it was WAY BETTER BEFORE. please M3 revert it back! Or alternatively, just PLEASE tell us which files / settings .lua .DDS.. etc are responsible, so that we can ourselves revert it. I have tried to find them myself to no avail.... THANKS!

Fine, forget about those missions, not important anyway. But what about that Corsair one? No baked views in that one, as you said it yourself. As mentioned and clearly seen in the screenshots, on this mission "DCS" not "just" zooms out the default view, but it also messes up ALL the other saved snap views! Again as mentioned, I never use used Flight / Prepare Mission, I use always the green button “Fly mission”….. Still astonished by ED not showing signs of life concerning this matter.....
