M4 - Headtracking - Gun Sight view Lock

[Nightmare22]

Is there a way to lock the view to look down the M4 gunsight, with Head Tracker on as soon as I move the rifle, some of the angle's I need to contort my body to try maintain looking down it mean I have to do a handstand, inside my washing machine 2 rooms away to get the sight in frame

Unfortunately not. I tried implementing this but was unsuccessful, it is not as simple to force the DCS camera position as I would expect it to be. However I have not given up so I hope I can find a resolution in future.

That explains. One is unable to to see the sight when pointing the M4 far off the centre-view in VR. It's either too high up or too lowc depending on elevation.

 

Kinkkujuustovoileipä, I got a suggestion:

 

The aspect of controlling a weapon properly, is based on having two reference points. One closer, one further. If those two overlap, the optical sensation of aiming down sights will be accurate for such aiming. As it stands now, the M4's further point, is controlled by the mouse, which is good. The closer one, however, is tied to a invisible bubble to left of the co-pilot body. Here lies the problem. If you tie this point to the location of the co-pilots head/eye, the corresponding line will be aiming down sight, regardless of whether you move your mouse or head (VR).

 

Have a look:

 

This is the current situation:

 

This is my proposed change:

 

 

If possible, have the current mode (the upper one, weapon lowered) be the default one, with the lower one (second picture) being the "aim-down sights". If this is doable in DCS, it would work well
