F18C Closer default view in cockpit while in VR?

[Sirbum]

Just a quick question, sometime ago i change the viewing angle when i was using TrackIR so that i could see a little better. i know where those settings are but what i am trying to find out now,

 

Now i use the Rift S, and in the F18 i notice that i sit way back in the seat, to the point that if i look straight down im almost outside the seat. i know that i can just physically move my chair closer to the monitor but thats not really an option due to my desk.

 

In the F16 i noticed that i sit way closer to the UFC, so i am thinking its a setting in a config file maybe?

 

Anyways just wondering if anyone knows of a way to default the view a little closer in the F18 when using Rift S.

Do you try to recenter VR view?

yes

i actully think i figured it out. i just deleted the server file in my save/config folder and let it regenerate it and i seem to be sitting closer to the ICP now.

You can also map the move camera control to your joystick or throttle and have it there when you need it. In aircraft controls map "Cockpit camera move forward" or "Cockpit camera move back" to a switch or button. I use the paddle or pinkie switch and trim hat buttons on mine for up, down, forward and back. Just set the paddle swicth or button of choice as a modifier or switch. Then using the modifier, program and set the other ones on the POV trim hat switch to up, down, forward, back, left, right, centre etc.. You can save a new position to default by Ralt+Numpad 0 or map that as well. You can use any switch you want as a modifier (it works like a shift key) if it interferes or conflicts with an aircraft function.

 

Sorry if you probably knew most of that but some folk might not be aware.......or like me forget.

I also use a Rift S - I use centre VR zoom alot, so much so i have it bound to hotas along with VR zoom.

 

Wherever you have your head when you push the recenter VR view it will hold that position, a very very simple solution is lean back your head in the chair and your view will be closer to the HUD. Lean forward and recenter press and you will be further back in your chair.

 

Its that simple.

That is what I do each time I first get into the cockpit of the Hornet.

I move back a little and down a little, hit the re-center button on my stick and then move back into my regular position and am fine.
