Cockpit camera view

[MKDC]

Hi,

Just started with DCS.

I have the T.16000M and TWCS Combo, and I cant find any button/axis map to simulate the mouse movement of view in the cockpit.

 

Surely there has got to be one.  I find it impossible to fly whilst using the Joysitick and throttle and then having to use the mouse to rotate view..

 

Any help would be much appreciated before I hit the uninstall option !!

Welcome to the obsession, @MKDC

 

If you're asking if there's a button/axis map to the mouse itself, I am not aware of one. 

 

For years, I used the joystick hats to control my cockpit views (left, right, up, down, etc.).  It wasn't ideal, but I was resistant to investing in TrackIR based on negative experiences with it many years prior.

 

In the options menu you can access all the custom HOTAS controls on the "controls" tab.  From there, I filtered on "View Cockpit" and below are just some of the options you have:

 

If I remember correctly, I assigned cockpit camera "moves" to the hat on the joystick.  I also used modifiers to set the trim from the hat as well.

 

I now fly using VR & VoiceAttack.  What platform/module are you flying?

Hey MM, thanks for getting back to me..

 

Currently just flying the SU25 and learning the controls etc.. big step away from MSFS. !!

Yes, I managed to re-map the buttons to use the POV and with your advice will set eh modifier to use the trim button on the POV.

 

Thanks for the tips

There are cheaper alternatives to TrackIR, just saying.
I regret I didn't get one way sooner.
Cheers!
