Lixma 06 Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Just picked up the F-15 and it's great apart from the weird head bouncing. I have natural head movement turned on because I love the effect (though I tune it down a bit) but this is something different. There doesn't appear to be any damping so after rolling the aircraft your head continues to ricochet left and right like a pinball. Any chance it could be tweaked to match the other aircraft?
WildBillKelsoe Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 can you post a video? AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
Lixma 06 Posted January 1, 2018 Author Posted January 1, 2018 I put in a Su-27 for comparison. Maybe the F-15 is more realistic (and if so the other aircrafts' virtual heads should behave similarly) but at the moment it's the only one that I know of that bounces like this. 1
SDsc0rch Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 good point ---- really wish this was an "option" we could turn on or off also... that "zoom out" effect as the sim starts - would love to kill it once and for all... i7-4790K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 MkI | 16Gb DDR3 | EVGA GTX 980 | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswind | Panasonic TC-58AX800U [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Shadow KT Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Do you have your "Head movement by G-forces effect" enable ? Are you using some sort of headtracking ? If you are not using any headtracking, try disabling this option I am using both a headtracker and that effect, and I can definitely tell you that I am not experiencing such wobbles. I might go as far as to say that I don't even feel the effect, but that could be, because I am used to it. If it was that much, I'd definitely have complained by now. also... that "zoom out" effect as the sim starts - would love to kill it once and for all... Yeah, I can agree with that 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days
thrustvector Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 be interesting to know what your using as I have never had this effect, so just wondering if its something on your settings?
Lixma 06 Posted January 4, 2018 Author Posted January 4, 2018 I'm using an IR headtracker with open track and with the 'natural head movement' thingy turned on in the options. Every other aircraft behaves itself (like the Flanker in the vid) it's just the Eagle seems a bit over-enthusiastic.
Svend_Dellepude Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 This has been there since the F-15 got PFM. No way to turn it off. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win10 64, Asus Maximus VIII Formula, i5 6600K, Geforce 980 GTX Ti, 32 GB Ram, Samsung EVO SSD.
PeaceSells Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 That head bouncing for me is one of the cool things on the F-15 module. It gives me the sensation of actually being there. My DCS modding videos: Modules I own so far: Black Shark 2, FC3, UH-1H, M-2000C, A-10C, MiG-21, Gazelle, Nevada map

SinusoidDelta Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 There may be a way to modify it in a lua file somewhere. The parameter is something like head_shake_amplitude IIRC
26-J39 Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 This is most definitely an option. Options, Misc tab, Head Movement by G-Forces in Cockpit. I just verified that you can turn it off.. I'm using 2.2
26-J39 Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Just to make sure, if you uncheck the g-forces ALL head movement will stop? In 1.5.8 and 2.0 all head movement stops except the horrible side to side movement when banking. With it unchecked it reduces the side to side bobbing by 80% or so. It's still there just significantly reduced. I guess this what people are referring to when they say it cannot be completely removed.

dehowie Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 One of my pet peeves of any flight sim the infamous head bob. The thing is your head in the real world is stabilized by your neck and upper torso. Your head doesnt flop around like a springy man on a truck dashboard. To add to that your brain does a great job of cancelling movement from your eyes so the suspension you get ie dampening created by your body cancels out almost all movement except in the worst turbulence. Aerobatics etc are the same buffet being absorded. The elimination of the head bounce function should be the elimination of it it is highly unrealistic But what would i know i have only been flying for 33 years lol...
