Using cargo view adds an horizontal offset in pilot/copilot views

[Redglyph]

In DCS version 1.5.6.4546.280.

 

If I switch to cargo view (LALT + LSHIFT + Q), I have the expected down view, to help with cargo operations.

 

However, if I hit the shortcut again to get back to pilot view, the camera has moved left and is almost in the centre of the helicopter, not in the pilot's seat anymore. After that, if I switch back and forth between the pilot and copilot view, or any view, it cannot be set back to its original position.

 

The copilot view is correct though.

 

The only way I found to get back the pilot view is to start a new mission.

 

 

If I try the same from the copilot's seat, the problem is the same in the other direction, its position has moved right.

 

UPDATE:

 

I also found that tuning the view with RCTRL+RSHIFT+NUM4 / NUM6 was not working anymore after a camera has been switched to the cargo view.

 

So for now, this cargo view really shouldn't be used.

Hello, BSM support? Any reply?

 

This bug is still in 1.5.7.9411.361.

[Redglyph]

bump. Is Belsimtek reading those error reports?

 

Also, there seems to be a problem with the update of the Huey weight. When I hook a cargo the first time then unhook it, as soon as I hooked a cargo for the 2nd time the helicopter gets a lot of buoyancy and climbs quite fast, as if its mass was suddenly reduced dramatically.

So, finally updated to 1.5.8.12823 (delayed due to other problems in campaigns). Went to try if this had been fixed.

Well, it sort of has. There are no issues after returning back to normal view. Big thank you for that.

But, sorry to say, Cargo View are more or less useless now anyhow. Now the pilot head does not lean out the window during Cargo View as it did before, so you can not see the cargo underneath. This goes for 2.2.0.12843 as well.

 

Hope you can correct that when time permits.
