hotrod525 Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Hi, I'll go straight to the point, will there be an option to move the helmet symbology ? Like a special option of something ? Cause anyone who ever use the HMD in F16/F18 must admit that having the damn thing centered on screen while the HUD and exterior stand in the upper half of screen feel... uneasy or annoying at best. You have to do weird head movements with TrackIR just to bring up the damn thing... E.D. never addressed this on either plane, I assume they just don’t care. But at least those planes have HUDs, now that the helmet is supposed to replace it, it’s going to be awful if the view stays the way it is. So will there be an option for it ? Or will ED atleast consider it ?
Jackjack171 Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Not to be that guy but I guess I am. I've never had this issue before. In fact, this is the first time I've heard that this is a problem. Being that the F-35 doesn't have a HUD, I'm not sure how this would be more of an issue. 6 DO it or Don't, but don't cry about it. Real men don't cry!

Neither in the F-18, nor in the F-16 (I also use TrackIr). 2

Northstar98 Posted February 25 Posted February 25 I mean, the Ka-50 has an option to move its HMD up and down. I assume this is to move it to your eye level which makes it easier to use with Track IR. 1 Modules I own: F-14A/B, F-4E, Mi-24P, AJS 37, AV-8B N/A, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk.

EchoOneOne Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Moving HMDS symbology position would be no-brainer. You would get misaligned display, especially while using DAS for NAVAID. "Once a dragon always a dragon"
hotrod525 Posted February 27 Author Posted February 27 (edited) My english is probably not good enought to get my point across, it's not my native language and there is subtility and i dont get, so ill use images : Thats the default view in DCS, no change at all, i've mark it to point out what i mean, that red rectangle is where you are looking outside the cockpit in almost any modules; Now, ill add where the HMD is center in the screen, i mean it show itself at -14 right off the bat at start : You see where im going with this now ? The default view put HMD half on UFCP / nose and half on the bottom of the plane windshield... Edited February 27 by hotrod525
razo+r Posted February 27 Posted February 27 That's because the view in the F-18 is tilted down quite a bit compared to other modules. If you move your view up and save that as the new default view, that will fix your issue. 2

Anyway, i've brought it up, will see in 3 years when modules is release (in ealry acces). Edited March 1 by hotrod525 1

I think the NVG is not centered either, I think it's slighty up so that you can still look at stuff below without NVGs like for example when you want to look at switches in the cockpit. With NVGs they're very blurred so you can take a peek at them below the NVGs. Edited March 1 by razo+r 1
