CDU Snapview Fubarred.

[Shootist]

Hey folks, Toad here.

Previously I had snapviews mapped to my stick where I could go in and see left and right MFCDs, Left panel CDU and right panel radios up close and, in particular, input coords on my CDU in that mode. Now the left radios view is not there and the CDU is zoomed in too far. Ya gotta love these patches.:joystick:

[VAOZoky]

I have same issue. CDU snapview is useless :noexpression:, Radio panel snapview is replaced with another snapview of left MFCD :cry: and ILS/TARS panel snapview is replaced with another snapview of right MFCD :doh:

Thanks for letting us know. I never use them personally. You can also change the snapviews yourself if you like.

I haven't looked at the A-10C beta files at all but I would imagine that you could cut/paste the correct views from the SnapViews lua in v1.1.1.1. I would look them over first but it is quite likely to work.

Crap - that is what I should have said :) Thanks cichlidfan.

No problem. Btw, I just looked. At a glance snapviews for keys Num3 and Num6 are identical. What I mentioned will definately work.

 

EDIT: I did not have TIR when I started with A-10 so I built my snapview lua by hand editting. At that time I could almost tell what the view looked like just by the numbers.

Even if I knew how to do it, I no longer have version 1111

[cichlidfan]

Had you modified the views, or were they just the stock set?

 

If it was stock and you just want the views back on the numbers where they were in v1.1.1.1 then I could fix up the file for you and post it up tomorrow, along with instructions for putting it where it goes.

 

Let me know if I can help.:)

[VAOZoky]

I didnt modify anything and i dont have anymore v1.1.1.1.:no_sad:

Can u please :helpsmilie:and post numbers from v1.1.1.1.1. so i can:pilotfly:like happy panda

The saving Views in game function isn't working in world. I tied to use the LWin + KP# then Ralt KP0 to save and it saves for the current mission, then erases back to the defaults.

Can someone upload SnapViewsDefault.lua from v1.1.1.1.

You must set the Use default snapviews to false in Server or view.lua IIRC

I did that, the view won't save in game if it's not set to false. The problem is they reset back to default when the mission ends.

There is a possibility that the mission file you are flying has it own version of the lua in it.

 

Does this still happen in a completely fresh mission?

 

I'll check it out later too when I get a chance.

 

Nate

[Skoop]

That maybe the problem, it's mission generator mission, that I did some extra editing to. I try it out in a different mission.

[Nate--IRL--]

Just tested it I see it too.

Here is the default snap view file from A-10C v.1.1.1.1

SnapViewsDefault.lua

[cichlidfan]

Just tested it I see it too.

Nate. That problem may be because the file SnapViews.lua (which is where the saved views are stored) does not exist in the installation. I don't know if the game is supposed to create it but in A-10 the file already existed even if you had never saved any views.

 

See pics. These are from virgin installs, installed but never actually used.

Cich. I got your snap view default and will paste it over the existing as per the thumbnails you posted. Let you know shortly if that is the fix. And, as to the missions: the one or two that I tried were the ones working fine before the patch.

Don't do that!!!!!

 

That file is from A-10C, it will break all P-51 views if nothing else goes wrong.

 

I just posted that for another person's request. I had not taken the time to cut and paste a proper one for you. Give me few minutes and I will post it up.

 

EDIT:

Here you go. This file was taken from DCS-World v1.1.2.1 and had all of the default snap views for the A-10 (section 11) replaced with the view definitions from the default snap views file from DCS A-10C v1.1.1.1.

 

This should restore the views the way you want them.

Changing this reply. Got your amended Snapview and will try it.

Hey Cich... Happy to report that your amended file seems to have done the trick with all appropriate snapviews back in the picture, both single and multiplay.

[cichlidfan]

Good to hear.:thumbup:

[Shootist]

OK. Now there's the trick question. I think I mentioned I am using Snap to access my CDU and punch in coords. The only downside is having to hold the snap button as I use the mouse to punch. Is there a way of making the snap views hold? At least least 0, 1 and 3 numpad keys?

It's been a while since I played with that part. I seem to remember coming up with something but that was almost a year ago. Let me do some digging and see what I can come up with.

 

 

EDIT: I don't recall whether it always worked this way or not since I switched to TIR but...

 

RCtl + Num0 puts you into snapview mode. The numpad 3 will stay without holding the key. Then hit RCtl + Num0 again to exit snapview mode.
