Guide - Enhancing head movement on TrackIR


Recommended Posts

I cannot get this to work with the F-86. The F-86 entry .lua says that it should be named "F-86F" and I named it thusly in Server.lua:

 

ViewSettings ["F-86F"]= {

Cockpit = {

[1] = {-- player slot 1

CameraViewAngleLimits = {20.000000,140.000000},

CockpitLocalPoint = {1.677 ,1.151,0.000000},

CameraAngleRestriction = {false,90.000000,0.500000},

CameraAngleLimits = {200,-90.000000,90.000000},

EyePoint = {0.05000,0.100000,0.000000},

ShoulderSize = 0.25,

Allow360rotation = true,

limits_6DOF = {x = {-0.9,0.90},y ={-0.95,0.90},z = {-0.95000,0.95000},roll = 90.000000},

},

}, -- Cockpit

Chase = {

LocalPoint = {-5.0,1.0,3.0},

AnglesDefault = {0.000000,0.000000},

}, -- Chase

Arcade = {

LocalPoint = {-21.500000,5.618000,0.000000},

AnglesDefault = {0.000000,-8.000000},

}, -- Arcade

}

 

However they do not work.

Hello,

 

 

I will check on my DCS and get back to you .. I'm not currently using the Sabre but last I remember it did work ... let me see :)

I do not have a Server.lua ?

Does anyone know where to find it ?

 

From the first post of this thread:

 

"The 6DOF parameter is adjusted on a file called server.lua, located on the folder Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\ .... but rather than directly modify this file, which would have several disadvantages such as having to repeat the adjustment every time that the DCS updater overwrites this file, and failing the integrity check if we play online; what we will do is copying it to the folder Saved Games\DCS\Config\View; like shown on this picture ...."

The correct name is "F-86F Sabre" ... and with that name it does work, this is the standard 6DOF:

 

 

U9kNbCDly3s

 

 

... and this is my custom version (limits_6DOF = {x = {-0.2,0.40},y ={-0.40,0.10},z = {-0.20000,0.20000},roll = 90.000000}

That worked, thanks. How did you find the proper name for it?

 

 

You are welcome :)

 

 

Every DCS Module has a file called "Entry.lua" that specifies its basic characteristics, for the F-86 it is located on: \Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F-86

 

 

Within this entry.lua file is this parameter:

 

 

displayName = _("F-86F Sabre"),

 

 

I tried it, and it worked :) ... this isnt a rule, as other Modules use the name displayed on the Mission Editor, but for the sabre it is this other name.

 

 

Best regards

I can't make it work for the MiG-15. The "Server.lua" file is located at:

 

 

User/Fred/Saved Games/DCS/Config/View

 

 

In the end of the "Server.lua" file I have added the following:

 

 

ViewSettings["MiG-15bis Fagot"] = {

Cockpit = {

[1] = {-- player slot 1

CameraViewAngleLimits = {20.000000,140.000000},

CockpitLocalPoint = {1.829509 ,0.868164 ,0},

CameraAngleRestriction = {false,90.000000,0.500000},

CameraAngleLimits = {200,-90.000000,90.000000},

EyePoint = {0.05000,0.100000,0.000000},

ShoulderSize = 0.25,

Allow360rotation = false,

limits_6DOF = {x = {-0.4,0.4},y ={-0.5,0.2},z = {-0.19,0.8},roll = 90.000000},

},

}, -- Cockpit

Chase = {

LocalPoint = {-5.0,1.0,3.0},

AnglesDefault = {0.000000,0.000000},

}, -- Chase

Arcade = {

this line should be:

CameraViewAngleLimits = {20.000000,140.000000},

},

}, -- Cockpit

 

Here I have these line insteads:

 

[1] = default_fighter_player({

CockpitLocalPoint = {1.677, 1.151, 0.000000},

CameraAngleLimits = {200,-90.000000,90.000000},

limits_6DOF = {x = {-0.2,0.40},y ={-0.40,0.10},z = {-0.20000,0.20000},roll = 90.000000}}),

}, -- Cockpit

 

The 6DOF parameters are:

 

x = backw & forw,

y = down & up,

z = left & right

Thanks for a very quick reply! Unfortunately it still doesn't work. Actually I had already tested:

 

 

 

ViewSettings["MiG-15bis"] = {

 

 

but it didn't work either. I also tested:

 

 

[1] = default_fighter_player({

 

 

 

though I don't know exactly what it does.

 

 

Am I the only one that doesn't seem to get this to work. I have always edited the View.lua for individual models before and it has worked. I have to do something wrong... :cry_2:

I havent flown the MiG-15 in a while .. I will give it a try and check if it is still working, maybe a recent update has bugged it .. I'll be back :)

OK, I've just tested it and can tell you that on my DCS the customization does work ... this is the MiG-15 with the standard 6DOF:

 

knLcH5tyuew

 

and this is the same, but customizing the 6DOF parameter on server.lua:

 

 

rUN7WNpq7F8

 

 

I'm attaching my server.lua, so you can try it out on your DCS.

Best regards

I'm having issues with the Harrier now as well. The entry.lua claims the display name is "AV-8B N/A." The make_view_settings attribute is "AV8BNA." I tried both and neither work.

 

 

On my PC, I have this entry on the Server.lua:

 

 

ViewSettings["AV8BNA"] = {
Cockpit = {
[1] = default_fighter_player({ CockpitLocalPoint         = {0.00,0.000,0.000},
        CameraAngleLimits         = {200,-90.000000,90.000000},
        limits_6DOF               = {x = {-0.050000,0.40000},y ={-0.300000,0.100000},z = {-0.20000,0.20000},roll = 90.000000}}),
--         limits_6DOF             = {x = {-0.050000,0.30000},y ={-0.100000,0.100000},z = {-0.20000,0.20000},roll = 90.000000},
}, -- Cockpit 
Chase = {
       LocalPoint      = {-10.0,1.0,3.0},
       AnglesDefault   = {0.000000, 0.000000},
   }, -- Chase
   Arcade = {
       LocalPoint      = {-21.500000,6.618000,0.000000},
       AnglesDefault   = {0.000000,-8.000000},
   }, -- Arcade
} 

 

 

The commented 6DOF line is the stock setting, the uncomented is my custom values. Just tried them and it does work, but dont have time right now to make a video of it :)

 

 

Best regards

Hi Rudel

I have been following this thread with great interest. Perhaps you can help me?

My problem is with the F/A-18C's FOV. I am using Tir and I dont have any view limitation problems, I can zoom in (Z axis) very very close, etc... My problem is rather how to save or how to tell DCS a default FOV setting for my F/A-18C...

 

I am using 3 screens with TripleHead2Go (3840X1024) and TiR

 

I tried the solution proposed by David OC in THIS thread... But the minute I activate (unpause) my TiR, the FOV reverts to its original 80 degrees (which makes a very very closed in zoom with 3840X1024...) I need a FOV of approx 120 degrees to be comfortable...

 

I remember that in the old days of Flaming Cliffs, there was a clear line in the view or config LUA file where one could edit the FOV of the game and later of each aircraft, but now I am not sure anymore how to do it, thanks

 

Any hint?

 

thanks

Cant really test it, since I have a single monitor and mostly fly with Oculus ... but try to add this line on the F-18 section of Server.lua:

 

 

CameraViewAngleLimits = {50.000000,190.000000},

 

 

The default is 20,140

 

 

Hope it works better than your current setup :)

Try this. Start dcs and load a mission. Set your view how you want. (don't do anything else!) Then press RAlt + Numpad0. Exit dcs and then start it up again and see if it saved the default view.

 

I think if you press RAlt +Num0 it saves the default cockpit view. You have to do this first. If you go to any other views it won't work. You have to save it before looking at any other views. I've had this work.

To find the correct name to use in server.lua, just save a snapview first and grab it from there.
