"Natural" head movement Decoupled from the rest of the body?

[midju]

Hi,

 

FC 2.0 i a great step forward. Thank DCS. And Thanks to all the people who got in on line so fast.

(104th in one hour I think)

 

However I have problem to understand the "natural" head movement of 2.0. It's make ME disorientated. Pilot head is leaning out in the turns. Decoupled from the rest of the body. It a "interesting" mix of X,Y and Z head movement. (The pilot must have rely strong neck mussel's to do this)

 

This is my opinion.

 

Best regards.

Wrong forum.

Apart from any discussion concerning the movements themselves, they can be deactivated with LWIN+F1 if you happen not to know ;)

Try this:

 

config\view\view.lua

change line 223 to "head_roll_shaking = false"

 

This disables the really confusing roll movement, without having to hit LWin+F1 all the time.

But with the head movement, the flight model seems more realistic. The lack of inertia in the SFM seems compensated by the head inertia. Just a feeling, but it's nice.

Actually I find it quite comfortable in combination with head tracking gear. This natural head movement seems to sort of try to keep the view leveled with the environment. It helps me recognizing how I'm rolled versus the horizon. Feels like a "gravity meter" to me.

 

But on the other hand I have to admit I never got to fly FC1.1 with Track IR. Only got mine today.

I wonder if there's a way to disable the head roll, but keep all other effects of the natural head movement (namely turbulence.) Perhaps an edit to some .cfg or .lua somewhere...

agree, the movement improvements are really good afford of this product line,..great but needs a lot of ressources i guess

Actually, it's the 5g version of driving your car on a leaning road and fits with what I instinctively end up doing when pulling G's IRL. :P Thing is, in real life you have to really think about it to notice it happening, since it's not counscious.

 

And yes, any kind of extended maneuvering in multiple g's requires a physically fit pilot. ;)

seems << does also not apply....numbers dont lie

Is there a spine compression under high G effect? It also adds a lot to the feeling of AC.

TX!

Bucic: Yes, there is.

Bucic: Thanks.

Been playing around with the value below that line trying to minimize the effect rather than turning it off. Although I never was a pilot, I believe you're supposed to keep your head straight during turns so the effect seems unrealistic but having the head perfectly straight as if your head is nailed to the cockpit also seemed unrealistic.

 

I'm at work now so I don't have the exact value but lowering the value just below that line from 45 to 10 seemed to reduce the amount of rolling effect. And then lowering the value below that from 0.5 to 0.2 seems to make the rolling quicker so it doesn't seem like I'm in a boat. So by playing with those two values, I have the head fairly straight with a slight rolling effect which I like.
