Probably easy derpy question RE: EP-13


Peally

Recommended Posts

This is probably really simple, but a buddy of mine has been flying the Viggen without a TrackIR. Is there a control in the list to snap to looking down the EP-13 for Maverick deployment or is it a matter of potentially setting up a custom snap view? Just curious since Mavs are such a handy tool and we're still learning this puppy.

 

Thanks!

I am currently looking into making an option to disable the collimation effect of that display for users that don’t have Track-IR (and also people having issues with it using VR). Currently the only sulotion is to use snap-view for users without head tracking unfortunately.

There will always be bugs. If everything is a priority nothing is.

I need to check again this evening to give a detailed description. Generally, it does not behave as to be expected from a collimated picture. From the top of my head I remember to specific characteristics:

 

1. The picture is focused at the plane of the sight, not in infinity.

2. The left eye and the right eye do not see the same thing even from the same position (which they should). Reproduction: Close left eye and remember image seen by right eye. Then switch eyes. Move head to position left eye to exactly the same place right eye was. You see will see a different image even though you should see the same thing.

1. is correct. The image is not projected to infinity in reality.

I have the game open now, but it is actually extremely hard to describe what is wrong with the sight. It just seems weird. Here is what I observe.

 

When leaning in, the angular size of the picture seems to get smaller, when leaning out the angular size gets bigger.

 

Having only the left eye open and leaning in straight on the sight, the picture wanders to the right. The movement seems to increase exponentially the closer you get (but is overall rather small).

 

Having only the right eye open and leaning in straight on the sight, the picture wanders to the left. The movement does not mirror the left eye but is rather considerable bigger overall.

 

As mentioned above, in a normal head position the picture is focused on the plain of the EP-13 sight. As you move your head closer, the plain of focus of the image seems to come out of the sight and move closer to your head.

 

 

And having played around with it for 15 minutes, I now feel sick and have a headache...

Ive never used snap view ... and this killed my interest for the Maverick's ... never had enough hands for cockpit and weapon control .... :megalol:

Sorry for my very knoob question, but how do I do this?

I want to press ... lets say F12 to have the view aligned correctly with that cross hair ...

Do you have the Mi-8?

In the manual for it, page 405.

Sir, I am using Viggen!! :D

 

That's no excuse I have the manual for every module :smartass:

 

I went to paste the text but the forum lost the formatting and it was a mess, but the manual can be downloaded through ED here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/documentation/magnificent_eight_flight_manual/

 

Page 405 does indeed cover the topic!
