How do I RESET my default cockpit view?

[Boomer_G-Loc]

The other day I was watching a video on YouTube trying to learn how to set up cameras and a guy was discussing snap views. He said to save, use the keystroke [ALT] [numpad 0].

It then saved this crazy distorted view, terribly off center and low in the cockpit which I can't seem to get rid of. 

I've been going crazy moving my head around with the TrackIR, trying  to relocate the view and  resaving, but it just keeps getting worse.

It is so far out of whack now I cannot fly anymore....

Is there a way to go back to the original factory default view, just looking straight forward in the cockpit view again?

Thanks,

Just delete the SnapViews.lua file from the saved games\dcs\config\view folder.

Also, when defining Snapviews, you must disable the headtracker in order to get better results (just while creating the snapview, re-enable it afterwards).

Disable trackir..red lights on unit

Keypad 5 to center

Zoom in and out...keypad / and *

Right alt and keypad 0 to save view

Renable trackir

Is there a way to save a default re-center view in VR?

I just start DCS, load the mission, put on the VR headset and then I press the recenter view key, when I'm sitting straight with HOTAS and looking straight ahead.

Thanks, but that's not what I mean.  I would like to change the default view to my liking.  Default meaning the view the re-center sets.  I find it a bit too far back from the cockpit front.

Try "Enter" on the numkeys

You sure you want that? All modules have the head in the correct position.

Easiest is to lean back and reset view there. When you get back to normal position you'll be closer.

Did not try in VR but snapview change should work too.
