Is it plausible to save default head position?

[hideki2]

As in the title. Is it plausible to somehow save the default head position so that I don't have to adjust it every time I get in to the cockpit?

Good idea.

I adjusted the default for Num-Pad 5 in the days before using VR. Have you tried?

 

 

Customising the Default View

 

Press Num5 to reset your view to the current default.

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

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

Dalton+num0 doesn't work in VR. It used to, but hasn't for awhile.

I have tried many time in many planes and it never seems to work properly.

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.

Thanks! This is gold!

Had to delete config folder to get my movement controls back.

Actually RAlt + 0 works. Thanks everyone.

just an update, in 2022 steam version Snapviews.lua dosnt show up for me

default snap views for some aircraft can be found in

SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\DCSWorld\Config\View\SnapViewsDefault.lua"

according to a note in that file "-- result of ingame editing is saved to Saved Games/<USER>/DCS/Config/View/SnapViews.lua"

but there is no file there for me even after messing up my defualt view with ralt+0 or whatever it is

default views for bought aircraft like fa-18 i think are found in "SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\DCSWorld\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Views.lua"

i believe these are the defaults
 

local function head_pos_default(tab)
    if not tab then
       tab = {}
    end

    tab.viewAngle = tab.viewAngle  or 63
    tab.hAngle    = tab.hAngle     or  0
    tab.vAngle    = tab.vAngle     or -15.7 -- -9 -- -2
    tab.x_trans   = tab.x_trans    or  0.13 --0.0592
    tab.y_trans   = tab.y_trans    or  -0.0083 --0.0072
    tab.z_trans   = tab.z_trans    or  0
    tab.rollAngle = tab.rollAngle  or  0
   

 

 

ok figured it out: you have to use ralt+num0 or whatever to change the positon in game THEN EXIT THE GAME TO MENU, then go look for snapviews.lua in saved games, it wont show up while the game is running.

hope this helps someone else.
