Default Cockpit View

[S77th-GOYA]

How can I set it back to where it was in 1.02? It's just too far away now, and I can't read the HUD very well. I'm asking about the 15, but I know there are some Su drivers that want the old default back as well.

Go to the link and see my second post in the thread.

You might want to go here, too. It's about the view center direction.

(I am doing this again and again. This topic should be sticky.)

Thanks, TT

 

I agree, there will be a lot of people asking for this, so a sticky would be in order. But, all the helpful posts need to be consolidated so we don't have 25 stickies.

Good post GOYA and thanks Teka Teka.

You need to edit the "snapviews.lua" file.

 

This is located in the ...\Lockon\Config\View folder.

 

For the F-15, scroll down to the bottom of the file and locate the following lines:

 

Snap[8][13]["viewAngle"] = 88.727844238281

Snap[8][13]["vAngle"] = -9.6784505844116

Snap[8][13]["hAngle"] = 0

 

The first line is for the zoom level. To zoom-in cockit view, change the 88.xx to a lower value....you can try changing "88" to e.g. "65"(never mind all the decimals) :)

 

The second line is for adjusting the vertical view angle - e.g. if you change it to something silly like -29.xxx, you will enter the cockpit looking straight down at the flight stick. However, you might need to make slight adjustments to this view angle after having changed the zoom level.

 

The third line is for adjusting the horizontal view angle - the "0" value sets the view to looking straight ahead, so you probably dont want to change that.

 

For clarification - the [8] bit indicate the aircraft type. The codes are:

 

[1] Su-27

[2] Su-33

[3] Su-25

[4] Su-25T and Su-25TM

[5] MiG-29

[6] MiG-29K

[7] A-10

[8] F-15

 

So if you want to change the cockpit view angles e.g. for the MiG-29, the lines look like this:

 

Snap[5][13]["viewAngle"] = 81.240005493164

Snap[5][13]["vAngle"] = -9.5

Snap[5][13]["hAngle"] = 0

 

- JJ.

Thx Dmut,

 

looking forward to that.:)

 

I printed out the manual.Will take a few days that one.

For the 15, these settings are pretty much the old view:

 

Snap[8][13]["viewAngle"] = 77.727844238281

Snap[8][13]["vAngle"] = -13.6784505844116

Snap[8][13]["hAngle"] = 0

 

 

They are at the very end of the file.

It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can post the values for the other jets (SU, MIG, A-10 and SU-25) to get the default view back. Thanks in advance for your reply.

You can look into \Config\View\sanpviewsdefault.lua.

The file contains the default values, so you can copy and paste any line you like onto sanpviews.lua.

 

And it would be better you make a backup before you modify something. ;)

I have a copy of the entire LockOn folder for safety.

Thanks for replying Teka teka. What I meant was the values to get the cockpit view from 1.02.

 

Thanks again!

Ah! I see it now. :icon_redf

 

In 1.02, there is only one common setting for all flyable aircraft.

The default view angle is 60 and the default "vAngle" is -9.5 .

But the height of the view point is a bit lower in 1.02, so the same "vAngle" does not make exact same view in 1.1 . Your sitting height is higher in 1.1 .

Yes that is true. Maybe the developers can give us the values to use in 1.1 to achieve the same cockpit view as the '60' view angle setting from 1.02.

 

Any devs reading this? :)

I have been looking for these values also. Thanks Teka Teka and everyone else.

 

Its annoying being in a Mig and using HMTD mode with trackir, and the circle not being in the center or where you are looking. Feels like I am always looking down my nose LOL.
