cockpit shaking

for the next update, could you tone it down a bit? i like the feeling of being physically inside the cockpit but this is a little too disorienting and makes me nauseous. is it possible to just make the camera feel floaty like in a-10?

I don't get any shaking unless I lose a rotor..perhaps that's what you're doing.. I never get any cockpit shake unless damaged..

inside cockpit, press shift+j

i would like that feature to be smoother, not so jerky.

Why on heaven's name are you using SHIFT+J which is the shaky camera feature INSIDE the cockpit????????

Quick advice... turn... it... off. :thumbup:

That's supposed to be used OUTSIDE the airframe, just to add a little more drama when you are recording a video, for example.

Fly safe. :pilotfly:

Open C:\Games\DCSBS\Config\View\View.lua

Lines 190 through 206:

-- CameraJiggle() and CameraFloat() functions make camera position
-- dependent on FPS so be careful in using the Shift-J command with tracks, please.
function CameraJiggle(t)
local rotX, rotY, rotZ
rotX = 0.05 * math.random() * math.sin(37.0 * (t - 0.0))
rotY = 0.05 * math.random() * math.sin(41.0 * (t - 1.0))
rotZ = 0.05 * math.random() * math.sin(53.0 * (t - 2.0))
return rotX, rotY, rotZ
end

function CameraFloat(t)
local dX, dY, dZ
dX = 0.61 * math.sin(0.7 * t) + 0.047 * math.sin(1.6 * t);
dY = 0.43 * math.sin(0.6 * t) + 0.067 * math.sin(1.7 * t);
dZ = 0.53 * math.sin(1.0 * t) + 0.083 * math.sin(1.9 * t);
return dX, dY, dZ
end

I'm not 100% sure what does what in there, but you can experiment with it. Obviously, save a backup of the file before doing anything to it!

thanks.
