Case 1 Carrier Landings View Modes

Recommended Posts

I'm watching this video and the guy who is showing it to me is able to pan around the cockpit very easily but when I do it, I use my hat switch and it moves in big chunks instead of moving smoothly around the cockpit.  I want to know how to recreate how he is moving the view around so I can get a handle on it, instead of it moving jerkily around.  I can't look over to the left or over to the right without re-correcting.

Thanks,

Jim

It might be helpful if you post the video you're watching for reference. 😉

@Murphyjmm there are other settings that you can bind to what ever your using to look around. on the page that you can bind controls, if you select view in the drop down menu it will show you all of them. one group of them is slower than the original keybinds.

i use the mouse to look around, i tried head tracking and i didn't like it  one bit. i also binded the ralt +c(the keybind- force cursor to show)to my mouse which allows me to zoom in and out and look all around with the mouse and with a click of a button it will put you in the mode to click switches.

How do you look around when flying. (hand on stick)

Head tracking, either using TrackIR or one of the free DIY solutions is pretty essential to being able to play DCS well. You need immediate access to all the HOTAS commands and I’m not sure how that’s possible when also trying to use a hat switch or having your other hand on a mouse. Besides simply turning your view, head tracking is 6DOF allowing you to look around obstructions like canopy fames etc. Using the HMD to aim weapons or acquire targets really doesn’t work with a hat switch.

Couldn't  even  imagine  on  how  one  would  try  to look  around  using  a  mouse  or  hat  switch  whilst  engaging  in 1 or  more  enemy  aircraft
