  1. UPDATE: 2024 So, this issue is apparently tied to the Mission Editor settings on view options I enforced on certain missions to make them more difficult. Default DCS Instant Action missions save the settings as I desired, but some, not all, of my custom missions are causing it to revert. HOWEVER, If I spawn in on the affected mission, and leave immediately, I can go back to one of the ED-provided default missions and it works fine. I sent this information to @[ED]Ben earlier in the week. I'm sure they will discover what is causing it soon. Thanks all for the help!
  2. Are you able to connect on Voice and I can screen share with you? I'm wondering if we could work out my settings in the lua on one aircraft as a customizable option. I have set the settings in the slider and using the zoom in/zoom out functions on the number pad (* and /) and confirmed everything is mapped. I have the "zoom normal" mapped to NUMPAD Enter and I have "Save Cockpit Angles" mapped default to the right ALT NUMPAD 0 key and it works. The one think that is working as advertised is the external FOV slider in SYSTEM tab is set to 78 degrees and it stays there for all aircraft no matter what. for my 16.9 monitor and from my experience sitting in many of these cockpits for real, I get the best balance of internal distance from things and external view of the world on a 1:1 ratio to avoid that convexed fisheye effect that the default settings do. Did you see my very first FOV video from years ago?
  3. Something is affecting it for me...perhaps running Replay Tracks? But two days ago I set up P-51, F-16, AH-64, and F/A-18 just perfect and it worked for a day...then the next day, back to defaults like 100 FOV or 109 in the Hornet. I didn't make any changes, no lua edits, no additions or deletions. I do use Track Replay, do you use it or have you tried it to see if it affects anything. QUESTION: Since this seems to be tied with SnapViews is there a command like the "ZoomNormal" that is to load your Snap Views Saved profile or something? I am also not using the Zoom on a slider...disabled as I don't use artificial Zoom in Cockpit. J Yes, it works with all aircraft I tried it with, but if you set another aircraft up, does it kill the setting for a previous aircraft you set up. I feel ED screwed this up when they tried to make FOV a one-size fits all slider on the options page. J
  4. I should ask, if you change one aircraft to something different in the settings, does it cancel out the others. My mustang was saving yesterday but today, it is back to default 100
  5. @SharpeXB Do you know if this will apply the adjustments to every aircraft and have we lost the ability to customize and save settings for each aircraft like we had in the past? Feel free to message me on Discord...I'm a mature (old) guy like you! juice_awg on Discord
  6. My User Snap View Save was checked before and still checked now and doesn't affect the saving function...still broken. I have noticed the issue might be related to switching aircraft with different settings. The External FOV slider that was introduced within the past year, sets the default FOV for outside for all aircraft, but perhaps setting the inside FOV (which is optimally different inside each aircraft) shouldn't be saving my Hornet inside settings for my Mustang inside settings. The Depth Of Field and distances are different. There is actually three (maybe a fourth) dimensions to consider when dialing in the inside/outside world for each aircraft. 1-Outside FOV 2-Inside FOV 3-HUD Information Stretch 4-HMD/IHADS Information Stretch I'll do a video to demonstrate. IF you could, now go and change another aircraft FOV (Not SnapView Setting everyone) and then save it, exit and return and check both LUAs. Let me know what you notice. Thanks!
  7. I think I messaged you on this, SNAPVIEWS are different.
  8. Thanks for your input...According to the DCS User Manual for the base program, the SnapView is a momentary look at a particular part of the cockpit, panel, or screen when programmed to the key/combo commands you choose. The Cockpit Angles and Zoom Normal functions should be separate of SnapViews and it seems like a lot of people are grouping the subjects together as one, when in my research, they are different parameters. I've edited the Lua and used the sliders, and used the old way of zooming to a desired level and Right Alt + NumPad Zero and still doesn't save or recall it after leaving the cockpit or game. I do hope a clear solution is found someday.
  9. @Hiob Hey, I saw this one and ended up here...Looking now. Thanks! Thanks The External FOV seems to be saving, but the internal isn't.
  10. I am running as Administrator, MT, 2.9XXX and still not saving once leaving the aircraft or game. As of last night, still broken!
  11. THIS IS STILL HAPPENING TO ME! @BIGNEWY Snap Views and Cockpit Angles/Zoom Normal should be separate things.
  12. @corbu1 I'm addressing that with Guitammer and ED in a few days, I just got mine a week ago and going through the various aircraft to see what is missing and nonfunctional. You are correct, it's not optimized for helicopters yet. @Cobra_B39 Honestly, from all the racing sim guys that reviewed it, I agree...settings depends on your rig, how heavy it is, and where the device is attached. What works for others might not be the best settings for you. That's why each setting starts out default in the middle. Did anyone have issues getting CHAFF and WINGFOLD to register in the Hornet? Everything else responds and FLARES work fine. J
  13. Agreed, with time. I spoke with ED and they're looking to Nvidia for input and possible improvements for the near future. Finger's Crossed!
