Cockpit View

[Klax75]

My default cockpit view seems rather high, can't see the gun site properly.

You can easily customize your default head position, with this procedure (its for a modern jet, but works the same with warbirds):

a) Begin by pressing the 5 key on the numeric Pad, to center the current view. You won’t notice any effect if it is already centered.

b) Now press the [NumPad Enter] key, to re-set the View Zoom back to neutral (1x). Again, you won’t notice any effect if the Zoom is already at neutral.

c) Headtracking OFF. If you are using a Head tracking device, for an easier POV adjustment press its software hotkey to center its view, and then press its hotkey to stop or pause the Head tracking.

d) Move your virtual head forward or back with [RCtl + RShf + NumPad*] or [RCtl + RShf + NumPad/]  until the whole width of HUD symbology can be seen.

e) Next, move your virtual head up/down with [RCtl + RShf + NumPad8] or [RCtl + RShf + NumPad2] until the whole height of HUD symbology can be seen.

f) Finally, zoom the view with [NumPad/] and [NumPad*], to adjust your view of the front panel while keeping the HUD symbology legible.

g) Press [RAlt + NumPad0] to store this customized view on the [NumPad5] view position, which is the default view.

h) If you are using a Head tracking device, press its hotkey to un-pause or start its software.

 

This completes the point of view adjustment, from now on all flights with this aircraft will employ this setting as default. The setting is independent for each DCS Module.

To add to what Rudel writes. Remember to stop headtracking before following the procedure, or the view will get messed up. And. Every single has the view tiltet a few degrees downwards. Reason for this probably predates headtracking. To change this, one has to manually edit the Snapviews.lua
The Snapviews.lua is also the file to reset everything if anything goes wrong.
Cheers!

Edit: Noticed now that headtracking was mentioned in step c).

I feel that the Corsair's cockpit F1 view is too close, even when fully zoomed out and view set fully back. It would be good if we had the option of zoom setting them back a bit further so there is a good view of both the gunsight and the main panel.

I realise that the view we have is realistic, but in a sim. we lack the ability to use our eyes to freely glance around and so the above suggestion would be a good compromise.
