How to fix HMS offset in DCS:BS 1.2.2?

[jib]

Before you used to change the HMS retical offset Here: Scripts\Aircrafts\Ka-50\Cockpit\Devices_specs\Helmet.lua

by doing this:

v_angle_shift = 0  --math.rad(11)

 

The new code is below

 

It doesn't seem to have an offset set, but when in game the HMS retical is not in the middle when you zoom right in.

This means it is hard to mark tagets with it using TrackIR

Anyone Know how to change it now?

Look here to start:

DCS World/Mods/aircraft/Ka-50/Cockpit/Scripts/config.lua

 

...I got this working a few days ago, but I can't remember the exact path and I'm away from the home computer

Yes, see this post: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1569310&postcount=2

 

Edit: Sniped.

Thanks guys that was just the ticket +1

[IonicRipper]

I use to have it entered but then i realized how annoying it was when zooming in to look at the Shkval. I think the developers had the right idea to move it slightly up. Basically, the HMS is only to direct the Shkval LOS in the general area of the target then slew the camera to lock it.

[jib]

I really like having it in the middle. I "project" my Skhval onto the bottom part of my screen anyway, so it is not obscured ( or you could just flip the HMS off).

and when my HUD was damaged earlier I could still target my cannon while fully zoomed in with just the HMS, that would have been hard if it wasn't centered.

I personly would like to see the HMS more over to the right side of the screen or left. depending on which eye it is used in order to target the ground. I tend to view the right side of the screen as the right eye and vice versa. I dont think the HMS is draped over both eyes in such a way that it is in focus overlaying each view point of each eye.
