spike2450 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I've read everything that I can find to get over it and I understand about Ralt and Num0 to save the position, I have changed to old the View.lua file and yet every time I start the cockpit view camera is toooo far forward, anyone else having this issue. Both in 1.5 and 2. Flying the piercing fury campaign, jeez is it good rescuing the aussie SAS over the city is just amazing :) seriously awesome in VR.

frogger Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 ive always found i have a pretty realistic seat point in vr. when u fly out of vr u need to be zoomed out to view more but in vr u can look around so its more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnco61 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Make sure you have use snap view saving ticked in the misc settings, when you then set your position in cockpit using Alt NUM 0 it will always return to this position when you re-enter the cockpit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few differences between flat screen and vr viewing. Like the VR Zoom function button which doesnt exist in regular play.

eaglecash867 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I've had good luck with just hunching down and forward a little bit when I start DCS World. When you sit back up into a comfortable position, it'll be just about right (but not very realistic), and you'll have difficulty seeing all of the information on the HUD if you're too far away from it. Just remember, the A-10 is a huge plane, but you're pretty much shoe-horned in between the panel and the seat.

Yes this is the only way that I can get it to save my position in the cockpit, try it, it will only take you a minute or so, you can always put it back if it doesn’t work!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 What are the exact sequence of steps you do to achieve this? "Cockpit head/camera move backwards" then "Save Default Cockpit Angle"...something to that effect, can't remember the exact command naming of each and I won't be back on my PC until Sunday. I only did this once a while ago when I first got VR and now anytime I load in or I hit the "Recenter" button it puts me back to that position.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Just adjusted the seat back (with Snapview ON) then hit RAlt /0 (on numpad). Then started up a new mission and it was NOT saved. Would appreciate if you could post the exact steps you did when you get access to your computer. Thanks!

eaglecash867 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) Move View Left: Rshift+Rctrl+Num4 Move View Right: Rshift+Rctrl+Num6 Move View Up: Rshift+Rctrl+Num8 Move View Down: Rshift+Rctrl+Num2 Move View Backward Rshift+Rctrl+Num/ Move View Forward: Rshift+Rctrl+Num* Save Position: Ralt+Num0 After you get your position set and saved, it should return to that position each time you start DCS. Just remember to pull your HMD over you eyes and sit where you will be flying when you start DCS. When you hit the Save Position keys, it will save a SnapView.lua file in the Saved Games/DCS/Config/View folder. You can save a copy of that some place safe and just paste it back into that same folder if something gets hosed with DCS and you have to reinstall it. Works like a champ. I'm finally sitting where I should be in the cockpit, with the HUD readable from top to bottom and it returns to that exact position every time I start DCS. :D Edited September 8, 2018 by eaglecash867 EVGA Z690 Classified, Intel i9 12900KS Alder Lake processor, MSI MAG Core Liquid 360R V2 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler, G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 64GB DDR5 6400 memory, EVGA RTX3090 FTW3 Ultra 24GB video card, Samsung 980PRO 1TB M2.2280 SSD for Windows 10 64-bit OS, Samsung 980PRO 2TB M2.2280 SSD for program files, LG WH14NS40 Blu-Ray burner.

Thick8 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Yes you can save your default head position. you can also adjust it in-game. And re-center in-game as well. Using the A-10c as the example. For default head position open C:\Users\(user name)\Saved Games\DCS\Config\View\SnapViews.lua with notepad++ Find the aircraft heading SnapViews["A-10C"] = { Go down to [13] = {--default view viewAngle = 80.000000,--FOV hAngle = 0.703590, vAngle = 2.784425, x_trans = 0.234391, y_trans = -0.021218, z_trans = -0.009215, rollAngle = 1.707313, Make your changes here. Small changes. It will take some going back and forth till you find your sweet spot.

Lange_666 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Save Position: Ralt+Num0 After you get your position set and saved, it should return to that position each time you start DCS. Just remember to pull your HMD over you eyes and sit where you will be flying when you start DCS. When you hit the Save Position keys, it will save a SnapView.lua file in the Saved Games/DCS/Config/View folder. If there is one thing that annoys me so much is the default head position in VR. For me it's always to low. I have to change that every time, saving cockpit angels simply doesn't work. I see that the snapview.lua gets updated (because it always changes the date modified to the time i press the RALT-Num0 combo) but the next time i rerun a mission, the default position is back. No way in the world i can make this work. Win11 Pro 64-bit, Ryzen 5800X3D, Corsair H115i, Gigabyte X570S UD, EVGA 3080Ti XC3 Ultra 12GB, 64 GB DDR4 G.Skill 3600.
