investigating Off center sights issues with isometric view in Combined arms

[Pendragon]

Hi!

Just updated to DCS 2.7.16.27869, and noticed the following issue with Combined Arms: the sight in isometric view is offset to the left.

• What happened that resulted in the issue?
• What were you doing that caused, or seemed to cause the issue? Sometimes you won't know, sometimes it doesn't matter, but better to try and include it so ED Testers or Team can try to reproduce themselves.

I started the ED CA mission "MBT Leopard 2", and entered isometric view. As you can see from the screenshot the sight is offset to the left, and shots go wide. The internal sights also seem misaligned. Not sure if it's related but it's also impossible to see more than just the top of the tank, no matter if I zoom in or out. All these things happen with other vehicles and missions as well.

• Could you reproduce it? Bugs should be reproducible, you should be able to have it happen to you again before reporting it.

It is easily reproducible, happens every time.

• What module where are you using, and does it happen with others? If you get a bug with the A-10C try it with another module, it could be the A-10C causing the issue, it could be the sim, any investigating you do now, makes it quicker for ED to diagnose

Combined Arms, any unit.

This is probably related to running DCS on an ultrawide monitor, resolution is 5120x1440 on an Nvidia 3080 graphics card. I'm using the default "1 Screen" monitors setting.

Please see the attached screenshot and track for further details. Please let me know if you need other information.

 

Thanks in advance for looking into this!

if you are using TrackIR, make sure to put in on hold/disable once you jump in to the CA, it doesnt really work with TrackIR, dont know if it is a bug or just the behavior as expected

Can you send me a screenshot of your graphic settings please? Thanks.

Sure, just PM'ed you.

This seems to be related to TrackIR (or similar) tracking. I use OpenTrack, and if I stop tracking in OpenTrack the view snaps to center and everything is in place, except for the camera placement. That is probably related to the ultrawide aspect ratio.
