metalnwood Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I use them all the time but I just set up a new computer and reinstalled DCS on it. I backed up the wrong directory so I had to re enter the few config items that I had done. I did back up my snap views etc properly. So, I use snap views all the time, it's not new to me but it currently has me stumped! I remapped toggle panel view to Lctrl + num0 because I dont have a rctrl on my keyboard, same as before. The problem is when I press it I zoom to the default snapview and it stays there as expected. As soon as I press another num key it only holds for the duration of the keypress as if I never pressed the toggle. I know I pressed the toggle because it holds on the default snapview after I release the keys. What simple thing am I missing because I cant see it??
metalnwood Posted November 8, 2011 Author Posted November 8, 2011 As I cant delete I will tell you what the answer was. You need to keep the view left slow, view right slow etc bind mapped to the num pad keys, if removed as I did it will not work. It's when you are debugging problems like this that you wish the game loaded faster between retries :)
degoe Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) Have exactly the same problem and spent 2 hrs trying to fix it, have unbound all unused keys to keep me from making wrong keypresses. Guess I went too far with that. Will try this as soon as I get home. As for the faster loading; get an SSD! Ocz agility 3 here and loading takes 10 seconds. Edited December 4, 2011 by degoe

davidp57 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I'm puzzled... I tried and remap the view keys as default, and found out that whenever I set up my snapview keys as default (LWIN+KPx), my carefully customized DefaultSnapViews.lua file was bypassed : I didn't have any snapview defined (everything defaults to a quite high "center" view) Zip - VEAF :pilotfly: If you want to learn, talk and fly with french-speaking friends, the Virtual European Air Force is here for you !

RichardG Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 I just updated my game, and cannot get the sticky snap views to work at all. Only the RCNTRL/num0 view sticks. 1-9 on the num pad show snap views that will not stick, even after selecting Rcntrl/0 toggle.
RichardG Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 I tried mapping the defaults to everything also. Did not help here.
