Cockpit view, looking straight ahead

[average_pilot]

I'm migrating to win7, and it has coincided with the 1.0.2 release. I can't remember how I fixed it before, but now I'm noticing that when I center the view (I use a Head Mounted Display) the camera is pointing several degrees down. I don't know if it's a calibration problem or if it's done on purpose.

 

I've been searching the forum for a solution, but only have found one solution that is based on editing monitorsetup. It works, but affects all cameras, and I do a profuse use of external views for my own enjoyment.

 

Is there another way to remove that pitch angle offset on the in-cockpit view?

'Default Head Movement Off' mod?

Thanks.

Searching info about that mod I've found the solution

Modifying the correspoding snap view... I wouldn't have guessed that by myself in all my life.

Hmm... it doesn't work. Maybe the snapviews file is deprecated in 1.0.2. :(

try snapviewsdefault. that one worked for me.

Edit Line 50 and 51 in View.lua to read

 

DisableSnapViewsSaving = false

UseDefaultSnapViews = false

 

Now when in cockpit setup the view exactly the way you want it (Zoom & Position) And press Right ALT and NUMPAD 0 to save your new default view.

average pilot I have considered a head mounted dispay. However I have one question for you. HOW THE HECK DO YOU SEE THE KEYBOARD? That was the only fualt I could find with the HMD (Head Mounted Dispay) set up.

It doesn't cover the view of the real world completely, so it's easy to see your surroundings. What I do is to use a red light that allows me to see the keyboard, etc, when I need it to but reduce the interference when I concentrate on the displays.

 

But there are many more faults: expensive hardware, ridiculous field of view, low resolution, poor head tracking, poor or non existing stereoscopic graphics support... I'm forgetting something else but now it doesn't comes to my mind.

 

Who knows why I like it despite all... Maybe what I really like is the concept itself.

Working :)
