Default Head Position

[barra733]

Is there a way to change the default (starting) position for the pilots head, ie what you first see when the mission starts? I'd like mine to be more 'up' and forward.

I'm not sure if it can be done, but if possible, probably what you need is in view.lua

Is this sort of what you're looking for?

You need to experiment with last 7 lines in config/views/SnapViewsDefault.lua file which stands for default cockpit view... my settings are-

 

Snap[11][13] = {} -- Default cockpit view

Snap[11][13]["y_trans"] = -0.041336805555555564

Snap[11][13]["x_trans"] = 0.26

Snap[11][13]["hAngle"] = 0

Snap[11][13]["viewAngle"] = 75.0

Snap[11][13]["vAngle"] = -13.6

Snap[11][13]["rollAngle"] = 0

Snap[11][13]["z_trans"] = 0

If you use TIR, look a bit down, then press TIR Center. :P

My English is not good, but I had the same doubt, good looking for all sides I did not find the solution.

 

I met in the task of experimenting with the file view.lua, in Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\Config\View...

dofile("Scripts/Database/wsTypes.lua")

PlaneIndex = {

iSu_27 = 1,

iSu_33 = 2,

iSu_25 = 3,

iSu_39 = 4, -- Su-39 or Su-25T

iMiG_29 = 5,

iMiG_29K = 6,

iA_10 = 7,

iF_15 = 8,

iKA_50 = 9,

}

PlaneIndexByType =

{

[MiG_29] = PlaneIndex.iMiG_29,

[su_27] = PlaneIndex.iSu_27,

[su_33] = PlaneIndex.iSu_33,

[F_15] = PlaneIndex.iF_15,

[su_25] = PlaneIndex.iSu_25,

[A_10] = PlaneIndex.iA_10,

[MIG_29K] = PlaneIndex.iMiG_29K,

[su_39] = PlaneIndex.iSu_39,

[MiG_29G] = PlaneIndex.iMiG_29,

[MiG_29C] = PlaneIndex.iMiG_29,

[su_25T] = PlaneIndex.iSu_39,

[KA_50] = PlaneIndex.iKA_50,

}

 

function GetPlaneIndex(plane_type)

if plane_type > 0 and

plane_type < 10 then

return plane_type

end

return 1 --PlaneIndex[plane_type] or PlaneIndex.iSu_27

end

 

CockpitMouse = true

CockpitMouseSpeedSlow = 1.0

CockpitMouseSpeedNormal = 10.0

CockpitMouseSpeedFast = 20.0

CockpitKeyboardAccelerationSlow = 5.0

CockpitKeyboardAccelerationNormal = 30.0

CockpitKeyboardAccelerationFast = 80.0

CockpitKeyboardZoomAcceleration = 300.0

DisableSnapViewsSaving = false

UseDefaultSnapViews = false

CockpitPanStepHor = 45.0

CockpitPanStepVert = 30.0

CockpitNyMove = true

 

Then what I did was to modify the option "UseDefaultSnapViews = true, and to put it like false, then once inside my pretender being in cabin I accommodated with the Zoom the sight that he wanted, (in my case it was to "appear" a little more behind), as soon as the sight was accommodated, it presses the keys ALT Right+0, (the zero of the numpad), and tidy matter.

 

That records the position to you and whenever you enter your kamov you will always be seated in this position, I hope that this also should serve to the community.

this settings i use - with TIR 5 perfect for me:pilotfly:

Does that also apply to DCS A10C. I have the feeling I´m sitting on the stick way too far in front.
