How to disable the F5 (nearest aircraft) view?


Recommended Posts

I am unable to disable to F5 (nearest aircaft) view when hosting.

The options I have set for the mission are in the image below, but pressing F5 will still show an external view of the next aircraft in the same group.

 

Does anyone know how to completely disable this view option?

You have to set the F10 view options to "Map Only" or "My A/C".

Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit

 

DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Hi QuiGon,

 

I tried both of those and unfortunately the F5 view is still available with both.

 

As long as there is another aircraft in the same group spawned, I can always use F5 to see it from external views...

Oh, that's interesting. Wasn't aware of that.

Hi Phil!

 

It can be changed in the host machine \user\dcs\Saved Games\DCS\Config

 

in the options.lua file under "miscellaneous"

 

Just change the "f5_nearest_ac" to false. You can do the same and deny the F10 map and the F11 airport/free camera views

 

["miscellaneous"] = {
	["Coordinate_Display"] = "Lat Long",
	["F2_view_effects"] = 0,
	["TrackIR_external_views"] = false,
	["accidental_failures"] = false,
	["autologin"] = true,
	["chat_window_at_start"] = false,
	["collect_stat"] = true,
	["f10_awacs"] = true,
	["f11_free_camera"] = true,
	["f5_nearest_ac"] = true,
	["force_feedback_enabled"] = false,
	["headmove"] = false,
	["show_pilot_body"] = false,
	["synchronize_controls"] = false,
},

 

 

Cheers!

You can also just change that in the in-game options menu.

 

Just as an FYI: if you change the ["f10_awacs"] to false the clients will not be able to go into the F10 map at all. It will be completely disabled. Last time I checked the only unit that can enter the F10 map are the Combined Arms slots, observer and game master slots.

 

This is useful for that added level of realism where the only way you can determine your location will be by using the map images from the kneepad.
