center view elevation angle

[JozMk.II]

Hi,

 

I would like to know how to alter the elevation of the default center view in the cockpit of a DCS aircraft. I don't like the downward angle of the default center view in the A-10C; I'd prefer that it were more level with the HUD. Can someone tell me how I might alter the default center view of an aircraft in the game files?

Option A)

use this instruction:

http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/wiki/Snap_views

and disable/pause TrackIr while setting a new default view via the num-pad keys.

 

Option B)

open up

...\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\View\SnapViewsDefault.lua

with a proper editor (Notepad++)

and go to line #1038

example:

Snap[11][13]["vAngle"] = -12 --< tilt up/down in degrees. Edit this number to your liking.

Your solution worked great, thank you very much!

 

I'll have a look at the information in those links you provided, too; it looks useful.

...well,no - someone else that is interested also in the answer twittered me your question, because he thought that I maybe know the answer.

and answering it for me was a very quick task , as I answered it already about 50 times .

so I just had to copy'n'paste .
