F-15C HUD projection placement

[TAW_Blaze]

Is there a way to adjust where the HUD is projected? I mean besides resetting camera position. I'm pretty sure there isn't but I'm just asking anyway.

 

I recently noticed that the reason I was having ridiculously annoying problems in WVR is because my camera was sitting pretty low and when looking at high elevations it would either flip back and forth or if I looked forward I would be stuck below the avionics panel (this one is particularly triggering, because you won't see anything). By resetting the camera to a better height most of this stuff actually goes away, but I have to lean in to see the HUD.

 

edit: most likely raising trackIR will have the same effect without making the HUD unreadable. Will try later..

Are you effectively wanting to lower the seating position? I don't think the F-15C offers that ability, outside of potentially adjusting some lua file somewhere..?

I wish we had two HUD projections depending on wether you fly in VR/stereo3D or not. That way the position of the pilots head could be constant and still work for most users.

Not really. I was thinking to move/tilt/scale the HUD projection so you can set it to fit from whereever the hell you want to look at it. TBH it's probably just a trackIR issue I've had for a long time but I'm not really sure what's the right combination of things to make it right while still seeing the HUD. Will have to experiment some more. Atm I just put it a bit higher and it helps a bit, but still not perfect.

Ah, now I understand. Might potentially be an issue with the placement of the TIR camera unit. I was having all sorts of issues with looking left until I moved the TIR camera from the center top of my monitor to the center left position.

 

Could be an issue with the geometry of where your camera is with respect to your headset IR light thingy (forgotten the name of the 3-LED clip-on-thing).
