w.i.p. Rear door gunner view in VR = 3rd person

[AlpineGTA]

In VR the rear door gunner is not first person. Instead it's like a third person chase cam view looking at the gunner from behind.

Hi, @AlpineGTA

Though not the best option, this is the current implementation we have for now. We'll continue to work on this particular station in future updates, stay tuned.

TBH why even implement it, put it in when its done proper and hot half baked, id rather wait than have what we have now

This is just occurring when selecting the gun control by axis. If you choose via POV it will work like the side gunners first person view.

We're working on it, don't worry.

I'm not sure if VR even has snap views but, as I had pretty much the same issue but in 2D ( i.e. the camera facing forward instead of aft) and Lord Vader's suggestion that I might have a custom view set, I checked my snap views file, and there was a section on the Chinook (CH-47Fbl1). Now I don't think I saved a snap view, so it may have been auto-generated, and if so, it might be your problem too.

The default view for position 6 (aft gunner) was set to something like -176 (degrees), so it was inverting the view.

Anyway, it might be worth checking your snapviews file, if you have one

Saved games > DCS > Config > View > Snapviews.lua

I just deleted the whole section relating to the Chinook, and at least I can control the gun now.
(you could maybe just delete the whole file if it's there and don't use snap views being in VR and all, maybe make a backup first)
