Reflected Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Can we please raise the default head position a little bit? The aiming point is barely above the nose of the plane. I know it can be adjusted by changing a file or two, but then it fails the MP integrity check. Thanks! Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharpeXB Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Yes, the default head position is too low, this can't be realistic as the pilot wouldn't even be able to see through the sight. Half the reticle is obscured by the nose so leading a target with the ring is impossible. All the other WWII planes have a clear view of the whole ring. i9-14900KS | ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO | 64GB DDR5 5600MHz | iCUE H150i Liquid CPU Cooler | 24GB GeForce RTX 4090 | Windows 11 Home | 2TB Samsung 980 PRO NVMe | Corsair RM1000x | LG 48GQ900-B 4K OLED Monitor | CH Fighterstick | Ch Pro Throttle | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckIV Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 ....another option... Why cant the developers create it so that the settings are LEFT ALONE after we get out of our aircraft ???? I have to raise my seat, move it forward a bit, adjust my rudder trim, open all the button covers, etc., etc., etc. Can't there be a simple way to just leave ALL settings the way they were in the previous flight???

Captain Orso Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 You can save the position. I don't recall the key-combo, but look in control settings in the 'view' group IIRC.

Captain Orso Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Yes, once you save your position in the cockpit for that aircraft, it remains the same, even after quitting DCS and starting again. Check the group 'View Cockpit' in your controls. Moving the camera position --where your head is-- all use <RCtrl><RShift><some number-pad-key> to change the position, and <RAlt><NUM0> to save the position. You can also use <RCtrl><RShift><some number-pad-key> to temporarily change the position, and then press <NUM5> to return to you saved position. Easy-Peasy ;) EDIT: the switch and dial settings have default settings for Air-, Hot-, and Cold-start. It would make little sense for them to carry over from one mission to the next.

SharpeXB Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) Set your desired position and press ralt + num0 This isn’t working. The cockpit view always returns to the screwed up low head position when I restart a mission This is INFURIATING! Why can’t ED just make the default head position correct instead of making every player jump through all these stupid commands! :mad: Yes this IS a BUG! Please fix it! Why are we simulating a pilot too short to see over the nose of their own plane!

SharpeXB Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 ED please reopen this as a bug report. No other module afaik has the pilots head position wrong like this. Players shouldn’t be forced to deal with the bewildering number of key commands every time they use this plane! i9-14900KS | ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO | 64GB DDR5 5600MHz | iCUE H150i Liquid CPU Cooler | 24GB GeForce RTX 4090 | Windows 11 Home | 2TB Samsung 980 PRO NVMe | Corsair RM1000x | LG 48GQ900-B 4K OLED Monitor | CH Fighterstick | Ch Pro Throttle | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornetjock Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 It's very simple to bind camera up/down to a two position switch and simply orient on entering the cockpit. With Track IR the view point is almost constantly changing, so simply F 12 for it and thumb your bound switch up or down to get the reticle right. It then stays there all flight until you raise it again for landing view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petsild Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 The displacement of the position of the head is here a few threads, maybe he just wanted to know why is the elevation angle of the gun in the nose instead of above it?
