Vol4Ever Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Been running Caucasus built-in training missions with all new setup. Took forever, but I think i have all the Warthog HOTAS bindings set and Track IR responding. Question deals with HUD. Some of my throttle button bind to external versus cockpit views and then stick is bound to zoom in & out. After flying thru some of the green target boxes, including occasionally switching back & forth with external, the HUD view is completely messed up even though track IR is still properly centered and functional. The HUD itself has zoomed WAY in where I can no longer see outer perimeter data like airspeed, altitude, heading bug, etc. Is there a "reset HUD" feature I'm just overlooking? I do have a button mapped to re-center & zoom actual view which is working fine. Thanks!

The HUD cannot zoom itself, it's likely you moved your view or your TrackIR was not centered.
Czar66 Posted February 9 Posted February 9 (edited) The Hornet HUD has no zoom function. It is projected into infinity as collimated HUDs are in real life. I'd suggest you to place the default POV where you find the most comfortable with the outer HUD information in mind. RALT + Num 0 (zero on the number pad) is the keybind to save the default view in the current position. Num5 is the default to reset the view but I don't remember if it is useful with track IR. source: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3320507/ Missing from this sheet it seems: RCtrl + RShift + / or * -> cockpit view forward or backwards. Good for the A-10C because the default is way too aft. Move it forward a bit and save with RAlt + Num 0. This is the default center point I use Did you check the box to use Track IR in external views? If you haven't, maybe is you physically moving out of the center position. TrackIR center command would bring you back to the default position. Edited February 9 by Czar66 Updated with the correct module in mind. Hornet instead of the Warthog.

You might have more people with A-10 specific knowledge in the A-10 subforum. Or when you say Warthog do you mean the Thrustmaster Warthog joystick/throttle? If so disregard my comment. I assumed you meant the plane based on the previous comment, but I see you have other questions re: F-18, so now I'm thinking you meant Warthog controller. Edited February 9 by rob10 1

Sorry. I posted based on the Warthog module but it works with any module. The hornet also has a too far back default POV and its HUD has no zoom functionality either. @Vol4Ever any steps that are easy to reproduce the issue? I flew recently with the A-10C without issues but haven't flew the Hornet in a while although never seen such bug if there is any.
rob10 Posted February 9 Posted February 9 And in answer to the OP's original question from a F-18 perspective: what I find works best with TIR is to lean back as far as you can when you re-centre TIR (TIR will typically max out in how far you can go). Then when you are in your natural sitting position the HUD should be fully visible to you.
