Increasing default cockpit view angle with TIR

[capttrob]

Hi everyone,

 

Im trying to increase my default cockpit view angle while using TIR. Default view feels like "Granny driving"....lol. It sits you too close to the panel imo. I can adjust the view angle using snapviews.lua without TIR, however, when using track IR, it seems the snapviews are disabled and this file is moot. I have tried adjusting this, "CockpitViewAngleDefault = 90.0" in the view.cfg as well..removing the "//", no dice. Is there another file i need to adjust the default view? I have looked in the Track IR file under config/trackir and this is what i get with notepad...

 

 

/*INSERTED*/ Axis = "Axis";

 

Looking under the TrackIR file under /input, is encrypted text....

 

Any ideas?

Do you have the vector add-on? If you do, you can move your head forward, then hit the "center" button, and when you return to your normal, regular centered position, you will be positioned a bit farther back.

I have zoom in/out mapped to the up/down on the hat on my stick. I'm zooming in and out all the time I am flying, so the default setting is a moot point for me....

Thanks for the replys guys...

 

I have TIR 4. Everytime i get in the cockpit i lean forward and look up a bit to the canopy frame and recenter the TIR so that when i lean back to my normal seating postion, it "zooms out" to the perfect postion for me. I was hoping there would be some way to skip this step by adjusting the default view. I tried usiing the default "/" and "*" on the keypad to zoom out once in the cockpit, but if TIR is enabled, then the keypad is disabled.

 

When i lean forward and recenter TIR and then lean back to my normal seating postion, the TIR kinda "jumps" around because its not in its normal Z axis center postion (kinda confusing without showing what im talking about). I have adjusted the "zoom out" side almost flat so that it doesnt act so jumpy... but it still jumps around a bit. If i can modify the default cockpit view angle to about 100 degrees with TIR enabled (i found this comfortable when experimenting in the snapview.lua without TIR enabled), it would keep my Z axis centered and no jumpy views.

 

I'll make a track to show what im talking about... pay no attention to the brief stall... ;)

 

I was able to damp out most of the "jumpy-ness" with my TIR profile. But if i can figure out a way to get that view as default view so i dont have to go through the re-centering process each time i get in the cockpit would be bonus.......

It used to be changing the range of the min / max zoom values in the view.cfg. TIR then centered in the middle of the two.

 

However this does not seem to work after the patch 1.12a :(

 

Any help would be appreciated here also :)

If you wish to map the zoom to a key, instead of the TrackIR then disable the Z axis for the vector expansion.

Thanks Prophet....

 

I could do that, but my Z axis is much more valuable (especially when hunting mud spikes), than using the keyboard for zoom. I guess i'll just have to stick with setting my view as i enter the cockpit. Every pilot has to adjust the seat how he likes it when he gets in... so i'll manage.. ;)

The zoom in/out functions are working with TIR in Black Shark beta so it looks like you get it back. What I do in 1.12 to zoom in then reset like was mentioned.
