Different SnapView in SP and MP

[uboats]

I just noticed that in MP, my snap view setting does not work

I thought no matter SP or MP, DCS should load my snap view. Or is there other setting can affect this?

 

Here is comparison between SP and VA server MP

it depends on the server you go on.

 

if the server has integrity checks, it will block any custom config files you have.

Is it a public server?

Try to open .miz file with WinRAR and see if there are any config files saved in the mission. I had the same problem, saved this way.

 

yes, public server. Is it normal for all public server?

Is this happening with DCS FC3 or DCS Su-27?

 

FC3 has the views stored in server.lua and snapviews.lua (snapviewsdefault.lua) while the DCS Su-27 has them in views.lua stored within the module. I think altering server.lua and snapviews(default).lua are more sensitive to server checks.

This here is likely the cause. The MP mission itself sometimes has the creator's snapviews saved inside the .miz file, whether intentionally or not. Luckily if you're hosting the session, you can simply open the .miz using a zip application like 7zip and remove the responsible config file. But if you're joining a server that enforces integrity checks, chances are there's no way to override it.

Rshift+Rctrl all the keys on your numpad allows you to reposition in-game. Ralt + num( 0 ) will save your current position.

 

Easy enough work around :) once set, these will save for your multiplayer server.
