Elbeeyou Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Hi, I have a problem with the Num 5 key. After miscellaneous tests with the cockpit view shortcuts, I finally got the strange behavior that each time I press the Num 5 button, instead of reseting the cockpit view toward the HUD, the view is reseted as if I was watching the seat from the top of the cockpit. Even after restarting the software ! I haven't modified any file. I have the v1.0.1. Do you see what I mean ? Any solution ? Thx
Panzertard Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 I think you must have accidently "saved your snapview" to some of you numpad keys. Num0 + RAlt = Save Cockpit Angles. I really dont remember how to reset it - and I cannot find it in the shortcut list. Hm, assistance please - help this French Gentleman :) The mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open | The important thing is not to stop questioning
26-J39 Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Thats it!! Re-center your default view how you like it and RALT + Num0 to save. :) Just looked into this a bit further. There is no re-center view key for head rotation (L/R, Up/ Down). There is however a re-center key for head shift tho which is RShift & RCrtl + Num5. If you want a spot on centered default view i recommend the following: - Re-center head shift with RShift & RCrtl + Num5. - Now zoom in full and align your screen with the bottom of the HUD as per pic attached. - Save this view when you have the view centered with RAlt + Num0. - Now zoom back out and save again at your desired zoom. I save the default view when i'm zoomed right in so it's perfectly aligned, zoom out with the keyboard as to not disturb the view with my mouse, re-save and should be all gravy. :) Edited November 16, 2009 by 26-J39 1
Elbeeyou Posted November 22, 2009 Author Posted November 22, 2009 Thank you both of you. I've reinitialized my view as you said 26-J39 ;)
Loophole Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 I've tried to document what has been discovered about snap views in the DCS Wiki: see http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/wiki/Snap_views
