noted Adjustable angles for cockpit mirrors

[ShuRugal]

In VR, I find that the default head position in most aircraft is way too far forward, like i'm trying to do a line on the glareshield.

Unfortunately, when I adjust the position to something more comfortable/realistic (head against the headrest anyone???), the mirrors are all too far inward, and all i can see in the is my pilot's face.

nullit would be nice if we could get an option to adjust the inward/outward angle of the mirrors to accommodate different seating positions, or at least a couple extra baked-in angles.  I understand that the current positions are chosen to work with the default head position, which is as far forward as it is to make life better for players on a flat screen, but it makes the mirrors entirely useless in VR.

You mean like this?

That's not how pilots fly, they keep the head forward, not on the headrest - so that's realistic but I concur to have adjustable mirrors. And that's a wish for module developers, not for general DCS. The mirrored image is also frequently wrong and does not move properly vs head movement so that'd need a fix too.

That's an absolutely hilarious assertion.  Every pilot flies with their necks hunched forward like a ninety year old typist?  You wouldn't last long pulling Gs with your head that far out of line with your spine.

Pulling G's takes ~1% of pilots time in the aircraft. For normal flight it's like this:

and it's pretty far from resting their head on the head-rest. I know, the name is misleading.

I have seen that the F-15E is now sporting adjustable mirrors, always good to see that first module try it and see how people enjoy it.

That's not even the width of my hand across the knuckles.  That's a fuckload further back from the panel than the default head position in half the fighter modules.  In the F-14 default position, i can look down and see the FRONT of the stick.

Then it's different default than I see. It might depend on the headset or your DCS files' modifications. Do you center the view before the mission?
