Programming VIEWS question

[Turnip]

I've been pulling my hair out trying to get this views to a tolerable level. I do not use TIR and find it difficult to read the left and right panels when I scroll my mouse over left or right, I find that I am looking at the panels and button names SIDEWAYS! I was trying to assign a view where I can SNAP to each panel and see all the buttons / callouts in a normal way.

I have not found a way to do this and have experimented quite a bit with assigning snap views. Any suggestions?

this is the way to customize snap views :

 

By default, in DCS A-10C, DCS Black Shark 2 and DCS World, customisation of snap views is disabled. To enable it you must alter one line in one of the LUA files, as follows:

In the DCS A-10C or DCS Black Shark 2 installation folder, then folder config, then folder view, find file View.lua

Look for the line (about 50 lines down):

UseDefaultSnapViews = true

 

and change it to

UseDefaultSnapViews = false

 

Customising a Snap View:

1. Set your current view up as you want it saved.

2. Press LWin+NumN - NumN being whichever numeric keypad key you intend customising. Your view will briefly snap to whatever the current snap view setting is for that key, then return to your previous view.

3. Press RAlt+Num0 - The snap view should now be saved.

Test it by changing your view, then holding down LWin+NumX - you should see your customised snap view!

 

Customising the Default View

1. Press Num5 to reset your view to the current default.

2. Adjust your view to what you want as the new default but do not use any snap view keys in the process!

3. Press RALT+Num0 - your new default view should now be saved.

Test it by changing your view, then pressing Num5 - your view should return to your customised default!

 

Restoring the Factory Defaults

To discard your customisations and return to the factory default snap views (and "default" view), you need to delete the SnapViews.lua file from the config\view folder (i.e. the same folder where you edited the View.lua file earlier). After deleting SnapViews.lua, make a copy of SnapViewsDefault.lua (also found in the same folder), and rename that copy SnapViews.lua.
