[VR] Seat height in F-86F

Hi,

There is something I wonder... I put this question in F-86F because it is only with this plane, but maybe this is VR related...

When I fly with the Sabre, if I look down, I find that the seat is a bit high, like in fact if I am "IN" the seat. Though the cockpit is at the good height, especially for fighting when I have to aim with the glass in front of me.

But when I land and I lower the landing gear, suddenly I feel higher. A position in which it would be difficult to fight as I'm too high to see well in the aiming glass.

But in the fight, I find it difficult to use the top mirror, as I'm too low for that.

So I wonder, the seat change when we lower the landing gear, is it a feature of the real F-86? Or something just for the sim?

Thanks

In default, the Sabre adjust it's position when landing hear is down or up, you can uncheck that in the special options, i think only for sim, but you should be able to change the height also manually

Ok, so the sim adjustment is a sim only feature, and in real life there is no such thing?

probably manually, not automatic

The Seat moving feature on the F-86F was to make it easier for user to land/take off,

the feature was implemented before VR, So VR Users should turn it off.

In my situation, I am lowered so much when I raise the gear I cant even see out the side windows.

You can turn the feature off in the special tab of the options menu.

The Bf-109 has a similar facility for offsetting your view to the gun sight, which can also be turned off in the options menu.

You can set your viewpoint in VR by using R-Shift, R-Ctrl, and and numpad numeric keys numpad plus / and * to adjust your view followed by R-alt numpad enter to save the viewpoint.
