Able to look through the seat head rest

[xavnl]

Hi,

 

First time on the Su-33, I love this bird.

 

Weird stuff though, when I look to the left or right I see through the head rest (screenshots attached).

To be able to see "normaly" I have to move my head slightly forward.

I use a TrackIR clone, never got this issue with other DCS modules.

Took me a while to get my track ir to work right in the Sukhoi cockpit. Either use the F12 shortcut or whatever button for recentering your view that your clone has, or use the key to move your head forward a bit. It’s rcntrl rshft and either asterisk/forward slash, can never remember which one.

The Su-33's seat is little bit of forward than Su-27's, but they use the same default Cockpit view position.I fixed this by set the eyepoint's x value 0.05 more than default. Copy the server.lua file from the DCS installed fold/Config/View into your C disk save game same position, open the server.lua with notebook, find the default setting line and revise it. Thus the way won't affect your installed game file and works.

Thanks.

I will try it today.

What should I change (I tried and failed)?

I can make itViewSettings[" Su-33"].

 

ViewSettings["Su-27"] = {
Cockpit = {
[1] = default_fighter_player({CockpitLocalPoint      = {7.959000,1.419000,0.000000}})-- player slot 1
}, -- Cockpit 
Chase = {
	LocalPoint      = {4.259000,3.819000,0.000000},
	AnglesDefault   = {180.000000,-8.000000},
}, -- Chase 
Arcade = {
	LocalPoint      = {-12.041000,6.419000,0.000000},
	AnglesDefault   = {0.000000,-8.000000},
}, -- Arcade 
}

It worked, after some digging in the forum.

Here are my new settings, slightly different from the Su-27:

ViewSettings["Su-33"] = {
Cockpit = {
[1] = default_fighter_player({	CockpitLocalPoint = {7.959000,1.419000,0.000000},
								limits_6DOF       = {x = {-0.030000,0.4500000},y ={-0.300000,0.100000},z = {-0.220000,0.220000},roll = 90.000000}}),
}, -- Cockpit 
Chase = {
	LocalPoint      = {4.259000,3.819000,0.000000},
	AnglesDefault   = {180.000000,-8.000000},
}, -- Chase 
Arcade = {
	LocalPoint      = {-12.041000,6.419000,0.000000},
	AnglesDefault   = {0.000000,-8.000000},
}, -- Arcade 
}

 

Maybe not 100% perfect but I am happy with it.

 

Problem solved.:)
