modify the hight / cockpit sit

[Lenux]

Thanks a lot

And which values do I need to modify ?

 

viewAngle = 75.589027,--FOV

This one ( no VR ) ???

[AdmiralQuality]

Obviously, yes.

[Lenux]

I did, and it's okay now

I won't touch again the LAlt + Num0, or else the issue comes back, although the line viewAngle = 75.589027,--FOV ( modified from 75.589027,--FOV to 60.589027,--FOV ) remains untouched

Just tested before.

Thank you very much for your help

I'd recommend you back up that file too as occasionally updates seem to stomp on it. (Not usually, but I'm sure it's happened.) Just drag it to a copy in the same folder.

Day i found that seat adjustment switch in the hornet i was SO happy! Could not get my trackIR lined up without changing the seat height :D

That's a weird number to pick, but okay.

 

I calculated the angle of my real-world screen in front of my face, which turns out to be about 75 degrees, and made all my aircraft default views match it. It gives me tunnel-vision a bit, but on the other hand makes it easier to read instruments and displays and maybe to spot targets. I use a TrackIR so it's easy enough to keep my view moving around, I got used to it pretty quickly.

 

The other big change I made in SnapViews.lua was for the A-10C, which by default puts your head position out over the stick with your virtual face mashed right into the dash. (Look down from that position and you'll see.) I moved it back to over the seat, where it belongs, but then the HUD graphics overflows the glass so I have to move my head around to see it all. Still, I prefer it this way. I hope they fix this when the new A-10 cockpit art comes out.

 

Here's what I use for the A-10C's default view

 

[13] = {--default view

viewAngle = 75.000000,--FOV

hAngle = 0.000000,

vAngle = -23.000000,

x_trans = 0.126000,

y_trans = 0.000000,

z_trans = 0.000000,

rollAngle = 0.000000,

},

You just had to go 2 pages back...

the seat adjustment switch is on the right side of the cockpit, on the vertical wall, sort of a weird lonely switch that is almost the same colour as the wall, definitely help with landing.

[AdmiralQuality]

Btw, one more way to adjust seating position (for users without head tracking device) is to activate mouse look (lalt + c) click and hold mouse scroll wheel and move mouse for left/right and up/down head adjustment. If you click and hold mouse wheel, and then scroll, you can adjust head fwd/bwd (not FOV).

 

I flew like that for most of a year before I got a TrackIR. Quite do-able. One hint to make it even easier is remap the LAlt+C to the spacebar (which, assuming your joystick has a trigger, you don't need for anything else).

 

There's mappable keys for head movement (translation) too, at least in most planes. Then you can get the 3rd axis (forward/back).

Let's say you mess up the camera, how do you set it back to DCS default ?

Delete the SnapViews.lua file (or just edit out the section for the particular plane you want to reset). Planes that don't have snapviews set won't have any section at all (and IIRC, the SnapView.lua file doesn't exist by default. You have to save a snapview first.)

[Lenux]

Could anyone, please, tell me the default values for

 

materials["HUD"] = {159, 255, 159, 200}

 

?

Location : DCS World / Mods / aircraft / F-16C / Cockpit / scripts / materials ( .LUA file )

I'd like to have it as default again, didn't make a backup

Thank you

[Lenux]

Thank you

[Lenux]

AdmiralQuality, do you know, maybe, where is the location for the HUD fonts ?

Family font / size, etc

I did a search in the .LUA file FONTS but I'm not sure

Thank you

[AdmiralQuality]

Perhaps...

 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F-16C\Cockpit\Scripts\fonts.lua

 

?

 

Oh, where *in* that file? I don't know. I don't mess with this stuff, if I did then I couldn't bug report. But try changing something obvious on each one and then check what effect, if any, it has in-game.

 

I would think it's this section...

 

fontdescription["font_stroke_HUD"] = {
class     = "ceSLineFont",
symb_storage = "stroke_font",
thickness  = 0.25,
fuzziness  = 0.6,
draw_as_wire = dbg_drawStrokesAsWire,
default    = {13, 20},
chars	   = {

 

And the font seems to be defined here...

 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F-16C\Cockpit\IndicationResources\Displays\MFD_stroke_font.svg

 

You don't really have any other choices of font style. Maybe you can add standard SVG fonts here?

Please call me stupid but why on earth would you edit a LUA file to hard-program your seat-height? Doing so feels the same as starting a flight ' ready on the ramp' I'd prefer 'cold and dark' , just like in the real world. It's a simulator, remember?

Are you ok ?

[Lenux]

Could anyone tell me, please, which is the setting for the hight / cockpit sit ?

I'd like to save it / edit / here, not with the Numpad keys

TrackIR 5, no VR

Thank you

Does anyone knows, guys ?

I tried this, but it's not working

With hAngle as well, no go

I can't understand where this option is saved ( hight sit )

Crikey Panther, you wanna zero out those h&v angle values girl lol, why you sitting all crooked-like. (also the z-trans....sliding you sideway across ur seat)

These are my figures, but I do use VR so YMMV indeed. I thought you flew in VR too? - Line 13 is your 2D vew....
