SDsc0rch Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 when i turn all the way around to look back, i see the headrest - if i want to see behind the aircraft, i have to first lean that direction, then turn all the way around - and i can see past the wing checking six works fine in the eagle (the only other a/c i fly) anyone got any tips? i'm aware of this thread... https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=96116 the solution is probably going to be in the server.lua file - not sure what could be going wrong here....... i7-4790K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 MkI | 16Gb DDR3 | EVGA GTX 980 | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswind | Panasonic TC-58AX800U [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG14_Smil Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 There is absolutely nothing going wrong. What are you using for views? A joystick hat? I could see the problem if so. Edit a snap view to your liking. If you are using VR or TIR - you are supposed to lean to look around the seat. L-39 is a sim. F-15 is FC and shouldn't even be in DCS (my opinion... I'm allowed). I do note I saw numbers for "shoulders" in a lua file, but I forgot which, so it is editable. Best wishes to you, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firmek Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 As above, aside of turning your head you'll also need to lean to a side. You could make your "shoulders" wider, which will offset head to a side more as it's being turned but at some point it starts to feel unnatural. To do it just change-increase the line: local gShoulderSize = 0.15 -- 0.25 Shift head left/right when view angle is more than 90 degreesSomething like 0.25 should help, though you can go higher. Note that if you're using this file "as is" this setting will affect all of your aircrafts.

IX, Bf 109 4-K, UH-1H, Mi-8, Ka-50, NTTR, Normandy, Persian Gulf... and not enough time to fully enjoy it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDsc0rch Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 like i said, in the eagle i just turn around and i'm looking around the side of the seat through the vertical tails - no "shifting" in my seat is required having to consciously "shift" to the side robs from the experience - you end up turning around instinctively, seeing the damn seat, and having to re-do it right this time - you don't do that in real life, cmon! thx firmek - will try it i7-4790K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 MkI | 16Gb DDR3 | EVGA GTX 980 | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswind | Panasonic TC-58AX800U [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobeshow Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) I noticed something in the .lua file when I was trying to solve the same issue that you have here scorch. There are general settings and then there are seperate settings for each plane. On the planes which work as they should (like your eagle) there is a line like this: ViewSettings["F-15C"] = { Cockpit = { [1] = default_fighter_player({ On the other hand, when I switch to one of the planes that have "no shoulder" for me, like the 25T for example, the line looks like this: ViewSettings["Su-25T"] = { Cockpit = { [1] = {-- player slot 1 So maybe changing "player slot 1" to "default fighter player" will give the proper shoulder effect when you set it the way firmek suggested. Have not tried it myself, will try to fix it and report back with results. Edit: I acatually took more than 5sec to look for things this time and there are 2 lines that control the shoulder size, for the different cockpit types: local GlobalShoulderSize local GlobalShoulderSize_for_not_full_3D_Cockpit the latter was set to 0 by default for me, but as I said above some of my FC3 planes use the default_fighter_player setting.
