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.....

I think I have found a temporary workaround to this issue, at least until ED notices / reads 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 WWII Marianas Corsair missions, and even in the training missions. Oddly enough, the 3 miz in the included zip still present the wrong level the zoom level of the default front view, and in spite of the as "read only" status of the SnapViews-lua I can still after a few tries change in that default front view the zoom level, but then other views get busted. Well, less important, as long as the corsair missions work, those should be in the WWII Marianas map... Again, MIG-15, 19 and Sabre on maps other than the Marianas, no issues at all... Go figure.... REALLY? Nobody experience a similar issue? ED? signs of life? Still-Busted.zip

OK Guys, thank you for your patience... Though, as wrote before, all of my missions are made by me. So if they are made by me, those missions should keep MY Snap views, even if said missions are saved in a way that embeds snap-views... Then why is the default view on the Mig 15, 19 and others zoomed out? BTW, I have never used Flight / Prepare Mission, I use always the green button “Fly mission”….. And indeed, I agree MAXsenna, this topic should probably be moved to the view bugs forum but I could not find a way to do it. But then again, this issue happens, as I have just extensively tested, pretty much exclusively on both Marianas maps In the enclosed .zip a bunch of my missions, ALL of these, without exception, keep the saved Snap views AND default zoom levels! As soon as the Marianas maps are involved, then this problems starts. That’s why I never experienced this before installing the WWII Marianas map. Don’t any of you REALLY experience this issue? And of course, latest DCS version....... Missions-OK.zip

Hi all, that's the rub... And yes, virgo 47, it happen with also with any other planes. Although in the case of other planes "DCS" just zooms out the default view but does not touch the other saved snap views. Much worse with the Corsair, there "DCS" not "just" zooms out the default view, but it also messes up ALL the other saved snap views! And yes, it happens also on other maps with the same planes, but far less than in the Marianas maps, both modern and WWII. See screenshots with written on explanations. I also include the Missions. Corsair-Complete-02.miz MIG-19-Complete-Marianas.miz

Hi thank you all for your comments. Yes, MAXsenna the "Save snapviews" checkbox in the settings is checked. Well, virgo47, even if missions can be done in such a way they remember snap-views, all of my missions are made by me, except the tutorials, so if they are made by me, those missions should keep my Snap views, even if said mission set in a way that remember snap-views... Let's say I play a mission I made. After finishing it, I do a Training mission, complete it Then I load the very same mission, and often my Snap views are gone, mostly the zoom level of the default front view..... Go figure....

Thanks.. Yes, I always make a copy, and the file SnapViews.lua is anyway always in my file history. But this does not explain WHY my saved snapviews sometimes get erased / resettet / reverted to defaults without any intervention from my part. Does really nobody else have this issue? By all means I am not inventing it, and I am neither a computer newbie or a DCS one......

I did not make myself clear... I am well aware that "Snapviews for maps" doesn't exist, what I was trying to convey was that my saved snapviews sometimes get erased / resettet / reverted to defaults without any intervention from my part. Again: this issue happens sometimes with the Corsair and Marianas WWII, often after a Training mission. but also with other airplanes, especially on the Marianas modern map. I did not notice this issue on other maps. Hope so it is clear what I mean.... Anybody having also this issue?

Snaps views resetting, especially with the Corsair and Marianas WWII, often after a Training mission. but also with other airplanes, especially Marianas modern. Anybody?

Well, this is odd, and the usual backup file which is made every time DCS updates to a new version does not contain the textures, only my modified .LUA file…! Also, including my clean cockpit in: C:\Users\XXX\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\aircraft\F4U-1D\Liveries\Cockpit_F4U-1D\default Or: C:\Users\XXX\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\aircraft\F4U-1D\Liveries\Cockpit_F4U-1D\AC Is to no avail. Only option is putting ALL my cockpit files in: D:\Games\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F4U-1D\Liveries\Cockpit_F4U-1D\default So it works. Though again, very odd thing, if other cockpits than my “AC” are selected, they don’t appear, in any case only my clean cockpit appears. Go figure… Do backup it in case, though alternatively, you can still re-download it. Cheers.

Hi AG-51_Razor, hello everyone, I have found that tailhook lever knob, now it is a bright red! Just replace the existing file with the one in the attachment.... F4U1D_CP_CONTROLS_001.dds

You're most welcome, If I find that tailhook knob I will paint it even red, rest assured!

Hi AG-51_Razor, well, thank you for your kind words! I have seen what you mean with the Tailhook lever knob, but could not find the file / texture responsable for it. If you can point me out to that texture / file I'd be glad to correct it for you.

Sorry about that. But as I said, as I don't have track ir, I can not tackle the problem. Please stick with the original cockpit.... But BTW, see above.. AG-51_Razor has got Track IR and does not have this problem...

Sorry I do not have Track IR, but anyway, what does this have to do with my retouched cockpit?
