Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 I've followed some directions on other posts for saving custom snap views but I am having no success. Is there a way to define custom snap views in BS? What I am trying to do is define a custom snap view that will have the shkval only zoomed and centered on my screen. I know LWIN+NUMPAD2 exists but that is shkval+abris. I just want the shkval. Any step by step help appreciated. Regards, 1

Bucic Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 The same way other snap views are created. Try to do some searching on the forums. Few additional things: it has been officially documented (some readme file?) it can be done in-game it has very little to do with specific HMS issues so my advice to you is to search for snap view topics rather than HMS topics 1 F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close

Posted March 27, 2011 Author Posted March 27, 2011 I've already scoured the forums and found the posts you've linked. Unfortunately, none of them yield the results I'm looking for. The outcome I am looking for is the following: -Pressing lwin+numpad2 gives me a shkval view that is zoomed and centered at my screen WITHOUT the abris. Thanks.
Posted March 27, 2011 Author Posted March 27, 2011 StrongHarm, You probably know the frustration since you've been through this :) Your link definately seems to have the info I'm looking for but the procedure just doesn't work for me. I think the part I may not be understanding is step 5. It seems to imply not to press the numpad# keys at that point. If that's the case, how do I "set my 6DOF view preference" without using numpad keys? 1. Hit Ctrl-KP0(Ins) to activate cockpit snapviews. 2. Hit the KP# of choice to be programmed (this obviously will not be your final view, but will serve as your reference to confirm success). 3. Hit Ctrl-KP0(Ins) to get out of snapviews - I have a suspicion that this also preps the button by resetting/clearing any previous view setting. Seems redundant, but skipping these first 3 steps produced unwanted results similar to your previous description. 4. Hit the KP# you want to program (again). 5. Set your 6DOF view preference, including your zoom level, height and vertical position in cockpit. (Very important not to attempt to freeze your view by hitting any other KP# at this point. However, you can use default keys KP/ and * to zoom in and out). 6. Hit Alt-KP0(Ins) to initiate program. 7. Immediately, while also trying to hold your head still, hit the same KP# you hit in step 4 to confirm program and finalize. 8. Test for success by hitting Ctrl-KP0(Ins)/KP#.
