Looking around the cockpit - I must be doing it wrong.


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm watching a lot a really great tutorials by awesome content creators and I'm watching them pan around the cockpit as a cursor sweeps over or uses a cockpit control.

 

I seem unable to do that.

 

My mouse has no functionality and when I go to map controls the column for the mouse is not available. It seems I'm limited to the number pad on my keyboard. It's doable but far from optimal.

 

Thank-you in advance for any insights.

Most players use head tracking via TrackIR, VR Headset, etc. - that is most likely what you are seeing.

The number pad (and joystick hat) are the default controls to slew the camera in a clickable cockpit but you can use the mouse control toggle ("LAlt+C") - to switch between interactive (clickable cockpit switches) and mouse "look" mode i.e. the default Su-25T mode.
