How to fix default snap view 3

[ChromeWasp]

Default snap view 3 (looks down to the right at the PVI-800 and AutoPilot)

is angled too high so it cuts off the often used buttons on the AutoPilot

 

I can edit the snapviews.lua file ... but which entry maps to snap view 3 ?

 

Also does "Save view angles" work now?

[Vecko]

First, change "use default snap views" from true to false in view.lua . Then, try to save new angles with ralt+num0 command...

Thanks for your reply

I can confirm Save View Angles is working

Here are my notes

 

Shutdown Black Shark

Edit view.lua

C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\Config\View\view.lua

Change:

UseDefaultSnapViews = true

DisableSnapViewsSaving = true

to:

UseDefaultSnapViews = false

DisableSnapViewsSaving = false

Startup Black Shark

Press the Snap keyboard combo you want to change:

NUM 0

NUM 0 + NUM #

NUM 0 + NUM 3 // In my case

Release the keys (let the view return to previous)

Move and orient the camera

Orient: NUMPAD

Move: RCTRL + RSHIFT + NUMPAD

then use RALT + NUM 0 to "Save view angles"

Press NUM 5 to return to Default Cockpit View

Press NUM 0 + NUM # to test your new snap view

(I haven't found a way to amend an existing view yet ...)

When you exit the flight and return to the menu Black Shark will save the new views to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\Config\View\snapviews.lua

(I tried using WinMerge to find which section has changed ... but bs reorders the lines each time it saves ...)

Is there a way to setup monitors.lua so that I can keep a snap view in a separate viewport? That way I wouldn't need to use TouchPal ...
