Campaign missions override players snapview and default views

[TAIPAN_]

When we save head position with the view keybinds, it saves these positions in Snapviews.lua in the savegame folder. View.lua is where we save our zoom speed (acceleration) for keyboard zoom.

However the mission files in this campaign have a Config\View folder, in that folder is the Snapviews.lua and View.lua that cause issues - they override the users head position and views.

This problem happens if you use the "prepare mission" function in the editor. It's generally known as an old bugged function, eg it breaks the DSMS in the A-10C such that you cannot load stores into the weapons computer. It also does other things like this views folder.

Most missions/campaigns don't do this except for very old versions of DCS. Eg Reflected, Baltic Dragon doesn't have the folder. Also most multiplayer servers don't put these files either, so it's a bit jarring to have views changed if you've customised them and have zoom go back to slow speed.

Is it possible to remove the Config\View folder or these two files in all missions? I could do it myself but then it will get overwritten any time it's updated.

I must have overlooked this one. You are the first one to report it. I'll have to change every mission, so it may take ED some time to put them in an update.

Yeah it's actually very easy to accidentally click prepare mission when testing, since it's in the menu right next to fly mission. 

Once you've done it once, it stays saved in the mission file forever (unless you manually remove it as far as I know).

It's probably more noticable by me because I have a simpit setup with UFC etc, so my default views look mostly out the canopy and not into the cockpit (horizon line in the middle of the screen). For the zoom if people use an axis or haven't customised the FOV speed they wouldn't notice it either.
