Saving Snap Views/Cockpit Angles?

[BiPod]

Hi All,

 

There was talk at one stage of being able to save snap views "in game" and with the final release we now have the "Save Cockpit Angles" option (RAlt-Num0), but for the life of me I cannot get this to work, and there seems to be no mention in the manual.

 

I have previously created lua edits as shown below. I think this is what "Save Cockpit Angles" is meant to do.

 

 

Has anyone got this to work in game without editing lua files? Am I totally wrong about what this is meant to do?

 

I have gone back to my old lua edits for now. The method still works as given by BoredTechie http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=62820

 

If you are interested, these are my edits for the images above, but if someone knows how to save in game that would be great.

How do you "load" / switch between these views while in cockpit?

[BiPod]

These are the numpad views. Hold Num0 and then another number to temporarily see the view. press RCtrl-Num0 to latch the views without holding them.

 

If you have space on your joystick, I recommend binding them.

I bind the radio, CDU and the ILS views to switches on my throttle. Lot easier then twisting around with TIR and they stay steady so it's easy to click the switches etc.

I cant play right now to check, but...

 

RCtrl Num0 toggles SnapViews.

 

Then either RCtrl KP{x} or just KP{x}, as default, snaps to these views (cant remember if you need the RCtrl modifier or not).

 

Either way, KP6 is a dead ringer for your first custom view.

 

I am pretty sure the other views are on the other keypad keys.
