Cockpit view looks wrong. need fixing?

[zmz125000]

defalut views in some dcs modules were made looking downward on purpose to show the instruments on flatscreen. it seems like the f4u is one of them and the view is like 30 degree downward which looks very uncomfortable. I have never flown on f4u before, could anyone confirm that the default view is good or wrong?

Default PoV can be easily changed and saved in any module, and this one I'm sure is no exception. Look for the procedure in the forums, I can't recall the key combos used.

But we don't have access to the real airframe, only the dev and real pilots may know the correct head position.

Every axis, place, angle, zoom level, everything can be changed in the aforementioned fashion to your personal liking. Just try it.

I sat in a Corsair , it looks good from your picture, but will give a try when I buy it tonight.

I am not seeing the 30 degree down look perspective.  What I am seeing is the field of view (FOV) adjustment only allows to see the top half of the top row of instruments directly forward.  Tired to adjust the FOV using "/" & "*", this is the max adjustment back from the instrument panel.  Would expect adjustment would allow a little further back so that you can see more of the instrument panel.  This occurs in 2D using the monitor without head tracking, and also 2D using my Tobii Eye Tracker 5.

I tried to slew around in the cockpit with the r-shift number pad keys, its not working.  When I hit a key command, it jitters and falls back to this default view.  It does not allow me to slew around the cockpit.

In VR using my Quest3 and Virtual Desktop, the FOV is perfect and no issues.  

Here is a screenshot of the FOV furthest back in 2D. You can see what little the instrument panel is visible.  Its like you are sit right up against the instrument panel, or a padlock view perspective..

It looks good in VR for me too. Nice cockpit.

The seat was designed to be this high to provide a clear view during carrier landings. 

[Qcumber]

Yes. I think they raised the height of the seat about 6 inches during early carrier tests. Along with other mods such as wiring the top engine cowling flaps down to aid visibility.

To change the camera: hold right shift+ right control and num pads (2 down, 8 up, 4 left, 6 right), 5 is for recenter. To save that view, press right alt+0 on numpad.

For zoom in press right shift+right contol and - (to zoom out) or * to zoom in.

I just tested this, 100% accurate!.. was able to zoom out a bit more and save the view... now the FOV in 2D is perfect!  Thanks for the info, certainly other will want it as well.

Thanks for being so selfless and sharing.  This is such useful information and so very much appreciated!

hi, thank you for sharing. first pic is my adjusted position and angle, second pic is the default position and angle, which one were you referring to?

This was the procedure I was mentioning. So long since last time I used it, didn't recall. Thanks mate

The FOV was actually larger before closed open beta.   We were told to adjust the view so the pilot body's neck area could not be easily seen.

FOV and eyepoint (moving the cockpit camera) are two different things. Currently the max FOV is set at 110. We can't go any further than that. Would like to be able to go to 120. Moving the camera around would be used to fine tune the eyepoint in relation with the pilot body.

FOV needs to be fixed here.
