How to turn off that Natural Cockpit View when I accidentally turn it on other than restarting the sim?

If I accidentally turn on that useless natural cockpit view where it's shifting things around as I maneuver, how do I disable that?  And where is this natural cockpit view actually looking, anyway?  If it was looking in the exact center of what would be my flight path marker (if I had one) that might actually be useful.

There is a function of saving custom cockpit views - I forget the exact name now. But if you find you're suddenly looking off at an angle instead of forwards when you've centered your headtracking (or just loaded in and haven't pressed keys to look around), then it might be that.

 

There is also a Helmet Ring Displacement setting under the main menu > options > special settings tab > Ka-50. Default is 11 degrees. That means that your centre-view is offset 11 degrees down from normal. This is an intentional function so that when you look around you can keep your eyes between the Helmet Mounted Sight slightly higher up, and the Shkval IT-23 screen. You can set it to zero degrees (or close to it), which will then align the Helmet sight with your view, but then you can't keep the screen in your view at the same time.

It's not any of it.  There's a function called Natural Cockpit View (Lctrl + F1).  If you hit the key combo for it a second time, it doesn't disable like a toggle.  And hitting any other cockpit view doesn't go to these other views instead.  You can go to external views, but if you go back to cockpit view, you're now stuck with this natural g-moving thing until you like get out of the sim and back.  BS1 didn't have this issue.  The natural view key press was a toggle.  Hit it a second time and it'd disable and go back to normal.

So as far as I can tell, it's either broken and not correctly toggling off or I'm doing something wrong.

I'm also curious as to what it's supposed to be looking at.  Is it looking in the direction of the imaginary flight path marker?  Because that would be useful, but it seems to be some goofy g force related thing.  I've always liked the idea of looking in the direction of a flight path marker, keeping that centered all the time.  That might be a useful feature, but these g force views, especially the strong ones like this one, I always found to be counterintuitive.

Have you tried hitting "F1" only? The "normal" view?

Never used that "Lctrl+F1" view, but most of these F button views are just "modes" you go into and press another to leave the present and enter that one.

Of course.  Seems to make no difference.  You usually just hit some other cockpit view and get out of it.  That doesn't work.  Hitting it again doesn't work, either.  Only thing I can do is just try not to accidentally hit that combo during a session, and if I do, I have to exit the sim.  I want to say that in BS1 at one time this natural cockpit mode was like on by default and you'd have to hit that combo to actually toggle it off first at the start of a session.  Now it's off by default, but if you turn it on, you can't seem to turn it off.  Sometimes I can eject and simply get another aircraft and I'm back with it off, but other times, like if it's on and in HUD-only mode with this natural g force view thing I have to exit first.

This appears to be a bug.  I've found that if I hold 0 on the numpad and one of the other numbers to look briefly at a side console enough times and then hit 5 all by itself repeatedly that eventually it will switch out of this mode.  Funny thing is that unless you're using the numpad it won't go to any other cockpit view even temporarily while this natural thing is on right now.  The numpad thing, though, is a temporary view and seems to bypass the glitch.  So definitely some kind of bug.

Any MODs installed?

If so, try removing all of them.

MODs can cause strange issues if related original files have been updated by ED but the MOD files have not been corrected accordingly. Have seen this myself several times.

This is the last thing I can think of.
