BiBa Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Leaning forward with TrackIR in the F18 cockpit is for some reason limited to approximately 30 cm. It is working fine in all my other aircraft cockpits, so it's not a TrackIR setting issue. Any idea how to fix that?

Scotch75 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I think that may be designed as is for more accurate simulation of a pilot being strapped in very securely. There is limited movement anyway if harnesses etc are properly tensioned, especially for carrier recovery. You may want to bind "view zoom" to a hotas axis. Cheers!

I don't see why it should be otherwise in the F18. And if it is indeed so, they ought to set the harnesses tension tied up automatically only when the Hook is activated :doh: Pilot risks Claustrophobic Attack tied up so tight :mad: BiBa...............BigBang WIN 11-64 Pro.

David OC Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 It's just the field of view, if you set it to look real it's all good. Problem is your looking through a very small box 27 inch box in my case. The correct FOV depending on screen is around 75 or something, most of my default FOV's are 90ish so I need to zoom in on the controls sometimes. I also have snap views that I use sometimes. i7-7700K OC @ 5Ghz | ASUS IX Hero MB | ASUS GTX 1080 Ti STRIX | 32GB Corsair 3000Mhz | Corsair H100i V2 Radiator | Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe 500G SSD | Samsung 850 EVO 500G SSD | Corsair HX850i Platinum 850W | Oculus Rift | ASUS PG278Q 27-inch, 2560 x 1440, G-SYNC, 144Hz, 1ms | VKB Gunfighter Pro Chuck's DCS Tutorial Library Download PDF Tutorial guides to help get up to speed with aircraft quickly and also great for taking a good look at the aircraft available for DCS before purchasing.

The correct FOV depending on screen is around 75 or something, most of my default FOV's are 90ish so I need to zoom in on the controls sometimes...Excuse me - but Field of View and Head-Panning Radius are two different things, and it’s surely not the VR-IPD (distance between eyes) we’re talking about. It’s the limited movement while panning / leaning the head forward; it stops about 30 cm before reaching the front panel, and you can see then clearly the limited position of the head in the cockpit when you yaw your head 90° sideways. In all other ten aircrafts I have, TrackIR allows you full movement of the head until it touches the front panel. It’s better than zooming for two reasons: first it’s real and not zoom-cheating & second, it’s healthy sport for the blood circulation to stay active while sitting stiff for hours in front of the monitor. So before my pledge dissipates out of the context, I just need info on the name, file path and the needed parameter for this modification. Thanks BiBa...............BigBang WIN 11-64 Pro.

Emmy Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Look through your control bindings and make sure nothing is stepping on your attack IR Z Axis.

BiBa Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 Look through your control bindings and make sure nothing is stepping on your attack IR Z Axis.That's the first thing I've checked, and as mentioned, no problem with my Z Axis in all other aircrafts. I assume you can lean full to front panel stop with your TrackIR in F18? In any case I still need info on the name, file path and the needed parameter for this modification.

sniperwolfpk5 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 It is an old thread but this is an issue. Leaning forward is very limited in f-18 as compare to other modules. I have updated my lua files it works on single player but not on multiplayer. I would request ED to update leaning forward. If you allow more authority, one does not need to use zoom. People like me with smaller monitor (24 in). It is hard to read on some occasions and I have to zoom for central display which very hard to read when map is on. Win10, Intel 3rd Gen.

People like me with smaller monitor (24 in). It is hard to read on some occasions and I have to zoom for central display which very hard to read when map is on. Agreed, it's almost impossible to read the contacts details on the Attack Radar by leaning forward for example. I still have to have a zoom slider mapped in order to move that little bit further forward which seems a bit silly. If I map the "Zoom" function to My TrackIR to try and get around this, then the default head position is too far forward and the top of the HUD is cutoff. Yes I can lean forward, recentre the TIR view and then lean back, but that's not ideal in a dog fight for example. In terms of the amount of additional Z axis TIR movement needed to solve the issue it's not an awful lot, so it would be nice if ED could sort this or there was an IC compliant workaround. I know there are LUA edits that will fix this but they seem to break IC :cry: Edited May 24, 2020 by zildac 14900KS | Maximus Hero Z690 | ASUS 4090 TUF OC | 64GB DDR5 5200 | DCS on 2TB NVMe | WarBRD+Warthog Stick | CM3 | TM TPR's | Varjo Aero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I still use the method I linked on post 9, it works fine on the Hornet .. on this video I didnt use any zoom at all .. just head movements: MN7ZaVUNfEw It doesnt work on VR tough, only for 2D .. still, it is much better than stock.

zildac Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Thanks Rudel, I'll try it out Thanks that worked a treat!! I had started to read that post just after asking the quesiton. I changed the X from .30 to .50 and I can actually read the Attack Radar info now Edited May 24, 2020 by zildac 14900KS | Maximus Hero Z690 | ASUS 4090 TUF OC | 64GB DDR5 5200 | DCS on 2TB NVMe | WarBRD+Warthog Stick | CM3 | TM TPR's | Varjo Aero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzU Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I can't use the lean forward in Trackir. I wear glasses for the computer and leaning forward makes my vision blurred. I have to use the sim zoom to look closer. I find it better because I can stay in one position in my seat and get real close if I need to.

zildac Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 That's fair enough, zoom works too.... 14900KS | Maximus Hero Z690 | ASUS 4090 TUF OC | 64GB DDR5 5200 | DCS on 2TB NVMe | WarBRD+Warthog Stick | CM3 | TM TPR's | Varjo Aero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Digby_ Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 The method in post #9 does indeed work, thanks Rudel! P.S If anyone is struggling, make sure you are using the name 'FA-18C_hornet' and not 'FA-18C Lot 20'. Regards, Digby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBStu Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I use zoom also. My Warthog throttle has a slider that has a slight notch in the center of it's travel so I use that as my normal view. Moving it forward zooms me in and I can easily get back to standard by moving the lever to the notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
