Pilot head position height ?

[jackd]

Can you adjust the height of a pilot's head position, say for about 20cm higher?

In this K4, and also the FW190a8 (the Dora seems OK) it feels like you are an Irish Leprechaun, and need a thick pillow underneath your ass.

F.i. in IL2 Great Battles you can do that by delete a snapview in a luascripts folder, set your position and save with F10, especially useful with ww1 planes.

You can by pressing RCtrl+RShift+Num8 and the RAlt+Num0 to save the view

Yep found that too. But i meant the unnatural looks of my flying neighbors on a high res monitor. I adapted slow zoom in-out to two button on my Warthog joystick,

the slider on my throttle i prefer for something else as axis for mixture etc.

What i meant: In IL2 other planes look normal in lenghth and not 'over stretched' as in DCS.

Probably DCS is meant for normal scaled monitors only, and that resolution adapted only to keep high res owners happy. Hopefully a fix in v 3.0.00 when it comes?

You can set FOV (Zoom) and all 6 achses separately as a default view.

What do you drive as monitor and resolution?

Thnx, Acer Predator 3840x2160 with a 3080ti Aorus NVDIA card.

BTW it's only the game's view in perspective i was talking about, not the general size.

That's a standard 16:9 res (same as mine btw). No issues related to that. When objects (other aircraft) are distorted, you have a way to high fov set (>100).

Reduce the fov to a reasonable value (personally I'd suggest 85 or below but that's a matter of taste) and then move the camera inside the cockpit.

All those settings (per aircraft) are found in the snapviews.lua in the savegames\dcs\config\views folder.

Refer to this thread for tons of details on this matter:

You can play with the axis settings of your track-ir or if you're using a free tracker that uses opentrack app then you can set them in options

Max FOV for IL-2 is around 90 if I remember it correctly whereas in DCS it is way higher, like 170 or around that. So if you want to compare these two make sure you set the FOVs to the same value

Thanks all, will check it out ..

No Problem.

When you still have issues, perhaps add some screenshots to make clearer what you feel is wrong. Perhaps I missunderstood your issue, but when you dive a bit into the aforementioned topic, you should be golden on all things related to views.

Edit: btw. some general settings like max min and default zoom (fov), shoulder width and so on are stored in the server.lua in the same folder. It is also explained in the above thread.

The view from the cockpt while passing planes, latter seem real stretchy:
