Cockpit View

[Nyapon]

Hi there!

I have a rather weird question regarding the Viggen. In the past few days I have been watching many videos of the Viggen to see how she is and she seems awesome. Now I am considering buying her. But before I can do that, I need to know something about the cockpit view.

 

 

In the videos it seems to be necessary to lower the view into the cockpit to see/reach all indicators and switches of the Viggen. The thing is, for head-tracking I use an EDTracker. It only allows 3DOF, but with the right setting I can use real-life head roll to move the in-game view left and right. It works perfectly for the A-10C and the K-50.

 

 

So, will my inability to move my view forwards/backwards and up/down be a problem for me in the Viggen?

 

 

Thank you! :thumbup:

Well for up and down you could assign a hat switch and for in and out assign zoom in/out slow.

 

Easy peasy. But you need enough buttons for it on your stick, cos it's gonna be something you need a lot.

Also look at setting up some snap views of key areas of the cockpit. I find them handier than zooming in / out and they stay stable.

We should also have the ability to raise and lower the seat so that might also help with getting to some buttons / Switches.

Using buttons or snap views are great ideas. I'm using a Cobra M5 Defender and the new Thrustmaster throttle, so there should be a button available for this. This would also make it easier to input things into the A-10 computer.

So, I guess I can buy the Viggen without fear. :wub:

 

If I remember correctly, it’s possible to lower/raise the seat in the A-10. No idea about other aircraft.

We should be able to raise/lower the seat in the AJS 37 im 90% sure about that.
