Defalt View

[chardly38]

Im wanting to edit the default view. I want to look up more or sit higher so the the countermeasures and data link panels are seen at the top of my screens after hitting center view.

Method A (easy):

 

Edit \Eagle Dynamics\DCS Black Shark 2\Config\MonitorSetup\ >your used 'MonitorSetup'<.lua

 

Use discrete steps of 0.1 to higher the "viewDy" to tilt your view up in the y direction.

 

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('1 Screen');
Description = 'One monitor configuration'
Viewports =
{
    Center =
    {
         x = 0;
         y = 0;
         width = screen.width;
         height = screen.height;
         viewDx = 0; 
         viewDy = 0; -- edit here! example : 0.15
         aspect = screen.aspect;
    }
}

Method B (advanced):

 

> Eagle Dynamics\DCS Black Shark 2\Config\View\SnapViewsDefault.lua

 

change the values starting at line #1055

(This is a screen-cap of the file of DCS-A10C , but it works the same in BS2. Annotation in green tells you what each line controls)

 

Be aware that moving your eye position up can mess up your calibrated view on the hud.

So please only tilt the view.

Make a backup of the files you edit!
