Save Cockpit Angles and blue screen

[boredtechie]

Having seen the "Save Cockpit Angles" control binding in the Options > Control screen I did a quick google to find out how to use it. I came across the following thread:-

I realise it is for another title entirely but thought I'd mention the following issue on the off chance you're expecting it to work.

 

Essentially if I follow the steps in the linked thread:-

1) Set "UseDefaultSnapViews = false"

2) NUM0 + Num9

3) Reposition the view port

4) RALT + Num0

 

then everything seems correct for that flight however subsequent flights are loaded with a solid blue screen the only things that's visible is the mouse cursor. The issue can be corrected by setting "UseDefaultSnapViews = true" again.

 

If you require any further information don't hesitate to ask. I've not provided a track as I'm presuming in this instance it won't actually help.

I have the same issue. I can set custom snap views using the NUMPAD0 + NUMPADx, use camera controls to change view, then RALT NUMPAD0 to save. I can return to the saved snap view(s) any time as long as I don't exit the 3d portion of the sim. If I exit, and look at snapviews.lua I see that it is empty and no snap views had been saved. Going back into the 3d simulation and pressing LWIN + NUMPADx to go to a snapview gives me a blue screen. I can get back to a cockpit view by varying the zoom with NUMPAD/ or NUMPAD* but there are no saved snap views.

 

I assume that saving snap views is not yet functional?

Having exact same issue (blue screen and empty SnapViews.lua), except that I can't get new snapviews to save at all.
