Petrovich GUI position


Mainstay

Recommended Posts

I’m using a widescreen monitor with a resolution of 3440x1440 and I’m having issues with the GUI of Petrovitch. 
 

For some reason it’s seems when I activate his GUI it shows on the lower part of the screen instead of the center. I’m using trackir. It feels very weird to move my head higher then straight onto an area I want to place his GUI. 
 

How can I get this in the middle of my screen?

Here you can see 0 degrees

And here you can see i have to tilt 20 degrees to get it at a point where i can work with it...

And 20 degrees is the angle to start with so anything higher gets even more weird and unpleasant.

In flight, you don't have to raise your head, on the contrary you have to lower it to target something.

It looks like its intended behaviour to have it centre of the screen, you can adjust your head position with the numpad keys if required, but it looks to be correct as is.

I see the post got the label "Correct as is". How is this correct? I dont understand the philosophy behind it.

For me correct as is would be that the 20 degrees postion was actually 0 degrees

As I understand it, it is centre of screen not eye level which is what your trackIR is centred to. 

 

thanks

You can adjust the center point for your trackir tracking on the fly. Just need to bind a button on the hotas for it.

So that your +20degree position becomes your new 0 degree head position.

 

I always thought that is a very crucial feature for trackir - I couldn't fly with resetting the centerpoint several times depending on what I'm doing.

(e.g. coldstart "in the cockpit"; dogfight "out of the cockpit".

 

I know - that is not neccessarily directly related to your request, but it might help you.

@Mainstay Shut off your tracking, start DCS, get into the Mi-24, bring up Petrovich overlay, raise your head by pressing Num8 until the overlay matches the HUD, press Ralt +Num0 (not sure if that's default, check in controls) to save current view. Now every time you jump into an Mi-24, the viewpoint will default to your new setting. Restart DCS with TrackIr and see if you like it...

This is the best way to go about setting the proper view in the Hind. I understand that the default view is probably to help people without head tracking see the instruments in normal flight, but if you have TrackIR, about 20 degrees up feels MUCH more natural and helps get the Petrovich UI in the right spot. My default view looks like the second picture slightly zoomed in.

By far the easiest solution! I was looking at lua file alterations and all sorts before I stumbled across this. Don't know why I didn't think of this initially but cheers anyway.
