I've tried to delete the server.lua and SnapViewsDefault.lua files and getting new ones, to no avail. I haven't found another thread which solved this, hopefully someone knows as I've met others whom have the same issue.

I'm not running DCS through steam.

Have you tried re install? It looks like corrupt file, but I can not think of more, sorry.

I have the same issue with Mi-8. Never go to any other seat when driving the huey but will try next time I fire game up

Yeah, that's when I went overr to dcs standalone. I also did an integrity check and everything was fine.

I can confirm this odd behaviour. Under 1.2.10u3 the whole cockpit seems to be shifted to the aft when sitting at position 2 or 3 whereas under 1.2.10u2 everything was still fine.

Funny thing is, I can't find any difference in the files when I compare both versions. Textures, 3d model and lua files - all seem to be unaltered? Only the binaries are different ... (I always thought, the position of the internal cockpit model is defined in some lua file?)

Hey guys.

I don't confirm this bug for v1.2.10u3 - No problem here.

You must have installed a mod, like PeterP's Proper Neck or something? So, did you try delete view.lua in "..\Saved Games\DCS\Config\" folder?

I don't have such a file in the config folder. I have something called ViewConsumer.lua though.

I installed the neck mod but thought it would be overwritten after updated rc

That was it, thanks Devrim!

For those who have the same issue with that Proper Neck mod of PeterP: the section for the Mi-8 is probably outdated and/or incomplete. I've copied over the relevant lines from the mods\aircraft\Mi-8\views.lua and now it seems to work fine.

Replace the section for the Mi-8 in Saved Games\Config\Views\Server.lua

ViewSettings["Mi-8MT"] = {
    Cockpit = {
    [1] = default_fighter_player({
    
    .......
    
    }, -- Cockpit 
    Chase = {
        LocalPoint      = {-5.700000,1.400000,-3},
        AnglesDefault   = {0,-8.000000},
    }, -- Chase 
    Arcade = {
        LocalPoint      = {-20.000000,5.000000,0.000000},
        AnglesDefault   = {0.000000,-8.000000},
    }, -- Arcade 
}

with this:

ViewSettings["Mi-8MT"] = {
    Cockpit = {
    [1] = default_fighter_player({
        CockpitLocalPoint      = {3.916, -0.11 , 0.0},
        CameraViewAngleLimits  = GlobalCameraViewAngleLimits,
        CameraAngleRestriction = {false,90.000000,0.400000},
        CameraAngleLimits      = {140.000000,-65.000000,90.000000},
        EyePoint               = GlobalEyePoint,
        limits_6DOF           = {    x      = {-0.200000,0.500000},
                                    y      = {-0.200000,0.350000},
                                    z      = {-0.800000,0.400000},
                                    roll = 90.000000} 
                                }),

    
    [2] = default_fighter_player({-- player slot 2
        CockpitLocalPoint      = {3.916, -0.11 , 0.0},
        CameraViewAngleLimits  = GlobalCameraViewAngleLimits,
        CameraAngleRestriction = {false,90.000000,0.400000},
        CameraAngleLimits      = {140.000000,-65.000000,90.000000},
        limits_6DOF            = {    x = {-0.200000,0.500000},
                                    y = {-0.200000,0.350000},
                                    z = {-0.400000,0.800000},
                                    roll = 90.000000},
                                 }),

    [3] = default_fighter_player({-- player slot 3
        CockpitLocalPoint      = {3.916, -0.11 , 0.0},
        CameraViewAngleLimits  = GlobalCameraViewAngleLimits,
        CameraAngleRestriction = {false,90.000000,0.400000},
        CameraAngleLimits      = {140.000000,-65.000000,90.000000},
        limits_6DOF            = {    x = {-0.200000,0.500000},
                                    y = {-0.200000,0.350000},
                                    z = {-0.400000,0.400000},
                                    roll = 90.000000},
                                 }),
    
    }, -- Cockpit 
    Chase = {
        LocalPoint      = {-5.700000,1.400000,-3},
        AnglesDefault   = {0,-8.000000},
    }, -- Chase 
    Arcade = {
        LocalPoint      = {-20.000000,5.000000,0.000000},
        AnglesDefault   = {0.000000,-8.000000},
    }, -- Arcade 
}

And as always: do at your own risk, make a backup before altering the file and don't hold me responsible if anything bad happens ... or anything good happens! :o)

edit:
I think, this DOES work. I edited it out earlier because when I re-tested it, it did not work ... but that was just a mistake of me. I tested it with a test mission ... but saved missions include the server.lua so I actually had the old, errorneous behaviour although it actually does work for fresh missions ... argh. Never mind ... tl;dr: this fix DOES work.

Ha hum mutter mutter mutter. How embarrassing
