Option to hide seat and stick?

[LeCuvier]

I was trying to execute the cold start training mission. I use the TrackIR.

Whenever I had to check or activate a switch in the rear part of the consoles, my view was blocked by the seat. By the time I had managed the necessary contortions, the yellow arrays pointing to the controls were gone.

 

I would like to see an option to hide the seat. It adds no value (in my opinion anyway).

 

Also the stick hides some gauges. I have checked the option to hide the stick, but the stick is still there. Is that a bug, or is the "Hide stick" option only for WWII-type sticks?

+1, but it's probably due to my TrackIR setup, because I can see other people doesn't have this issue.

I added these lines to the server.lua file, to have more freedom of movement for my head on the cockpit, by widening the 6DOF limits:

 

ViewSettings["F-16C_50"] = {
Cockpit = {
[1] = {-- player slot 1
	CameraViewAngleLimits  = {20.000000,140.000000},
	CockpitLocalPoint      = {3.259,0.796,0.0},
	CameraAngleRestriction = {false,90.000000,0.500000},
	CameraAngleLimits      = {200,-90.000000,90.000000},
	EyePoint               = {0.05000,0.100000,0.000000},
	ShoulderSize		   = 0.25,
	Allow360rotation	   = false,
	-- limits_6DOF            = {x = {-0.13,0.30},y ={-0.06,0.16},z = {-0.18,0.18},roll = 90.000000},
	limits_6DOF            = {x = {-0.17,0.45},y ={-0.30,0.10},z = {-0.22,0.22},roll = 90.000000},
},
}, -- Cockpit 
Chase = {
	LocalPoint      = {-5.0,1.0,3.0},
	AnglesDefault   = {0.000000,0.000000},
}, -- Chase 
Arcade = {
	LocalPoint      = {-21.500000,5.618000,0.000000},
	AnglesDefault   = {0.000000,-8.000000},
}, -- Arcade 
}

 

Here I have a short video of how it looks (no zoom, just moving my head On the cockpit):

it makes it easier to see each console :)

Consoles are indeed blocked by the seat a bit, when using TrackIR. But you can work around that (maybe I have to tweak my settings a bit).

No probs with the stick though.

[David OC]

I have a video on how I setup my

, new updated one coming soon. Bit smoother now.

It's quite quick tho for competitive MP fights and will take a little bit to get use to. It does make it easy to see things far back in any pit, without moving your head / eye's as much.

 

Also consider setting up some snap views on the throttle if you want too. I do this for the A-10C CDU panel.

Snapviews is a good idea. Didn't think abou that. Rear consoles will be used more for startups and such.

THANKS!!!!! This is exactly what I have been looking for, not just in this module!!!

I have adjusted my TrackIR settings and that helps. But it would still be better if the seat could be invisible.

I'd add a way to get the throttle out of the way when going form pri to sec mode on the engine
