VR - use snapviews to read the small print

To help reading all the small stuff, use snapviews. It wont alter the orientation, but you can position the view almost any where you want.

How to:

- Rudel already made a good snapview write up, so using that here.

Customising a Snap View:

 

1. Set your current view up as you want it saved.

 

2. Press LWin+NumN - NumN being whichever numeric keypad key you intend customising. Your view will briefly snap to whatever the current snap view setting is for that key, then return to your previous view.

 

3. Press RAlt+Num0 - The snap view should now be saved.

 

Test it by changing your view, then holding down LWin+NumX - you should see your customised snap view!

 

 

Important: Disable/Pause your Track-IR/Head-tracker while doing it !

 

 

Keys to use when setting up the view:

 

 

"Num/ - RCtrl - RShift" Cockpit Camera Move Back

"Num5" Cockpit Camera Move Center

"Num2 - RCtrl - RShift" Cockpit Camera Move Down

"Num* - RCtrl - RShift" Cockpit Camera Move Forward

"Num8 - RCtrl - RShift" Cockpit Camera Move Up

"Num8" Turn Cockpit Camera Up

"Num2" Turn Cockpit Camera Down

"Num/" FOV- aka Zoom-in

"Num*" FOV+ aka Zoom-out

"NumEnter" Default FOV aka Zoom

 

 

Best regards

Then when you have moved around and saved the snapviews you like, you can toggle them on/off, by first hitting RCTRL+Numpad 0, followed by the snapview (given numpad value). To get back to default view, simply hit RCTRL+Numpad 0 again.

I attached how my snapviews for the RIO seat looks. Its even better ingame (usual VR thing). The close up of the Weapon Type selector was just me leaning forward in that snapview. Im not using zoom in any of the shots, and my texture is medium quality setting.

Another bonus is, you dont break you neck as easily, when trying to read the not so accessible switches / labels.
