Need a little help on this module and hoping those a lot more knowledgeable about the F-15 can help. Attached is a (horrible) screenshot of what the HUD looks like when I attempt to fly and I can't seem to find out how to change how the HUD is viewed in all views. I've got a multi-monitor setup which explains the horrible screenshot since I had to turn my head to the right since my far most left monitor is the 'main' screen and I can't seem to find any other way to take a screen shot from a different monitor. But I digress... back to the reason for the post. I've looked up every thread I can find on changing the default view and have changed the default 'center' view by setting the amount of zoom away from the HUD with Num/ and Num* that I would like to start at and pressed RALT Num0. Now when I press the Num5 button I have the proper length from the HUD that I want but the view in the HUD stays the same. This had no effect on what I see in the HUD, which is the lower left portion. Now, when I press RSHIFT + Num* it zooms to the closest view possible to the HUD and looks natural with what the HUD is showing since I'm so close and any other Num# that I press to move my head it's just as close to all of the other gauges/dials/etc. I have attempted to use RALT+RCTRL Num/ and/or Num* to move the cockpit camera but it has absolutely no effect whether or not I'm in the cockpit panel view or not (by pressing RCTRL + Num0). I use TrackIR5 but the views are exactly the same with or without TrackIR5 enabled or even turned on and running. I've tried a repair twice and this has no effect and it defaults to the same HUD view every time. I've got A-10C and that works perfectly. I even made sure that I went into the Config/View/View.lua and ensured that line 30 (UseDefaultSnapViews) = false. At this point I am tapping out and asking for help :helpsmilie: as I just can't seem to figure this out. I'm sure it's something simple but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I've attached my view lua to see if maybe I did something else and don't know it. I disabled all mods and tried everything listed above but the results are the same as with all mods enabled. I appreciate any and all help and can't wait to get this fixed! Thanks everyone! View.lua

Too late? Hope it's not too late to reply, just got the day cleared by the CO... errr, wife. Cold start if it's still available or not an even number already.

diveplane, this sounds very close to the real thing, unfortunately it's a 406 and the current engine is known as a 408B (more thrust, more whine). This is one subject on this forum that I feel I'm qualified to discuss. PM me if you need/want any details. --forgot to mention that the 406 was phased out sometime around 2002ish. It sounded excellent though and pretty accurate to what the real one sounded like. Very impressed and the cockpit view was pretty spot on! Excited to see the real deal.
