Cockpit Camera

[Mars Exulte]

You cannot look down and to the sides either with mouse or keyboard commands, effectively making the aircraft unusable unless you have TrackIR, as you cannot "turn your head" far enough to see the controls to even start the plane. This did not used to be the case, but is some "feature" added recently with the new cockpit.

[Ells228]

Nope, no feature added. It should be working as it always has.

 

Will look into it.

 

Thanks,

Chris.

AFAIK the keybinds for views are generic and the same for all modules in DCS. There shouldn't be any differences unless you change keybinds, or tweak the default.lua with mods.

 

My PC has suffered the forced April upgrade for Windows 10 and now I need to fix/reinstall... but I'll check this as soon, as I am up and running again.

[Mars Exulte]

This is the only aircraft I've experienced this with, and it didn't do it in the relatively recent past. It is roughly in line with the movement range of the 3d pilot model.

 

@Shagrat

Generally that's the case, yes.

[Ells228]

Are you using the numpad keys to look around. It’s working fine on mine?

[Mizzy]

Working fine for me, no issues.

Interesting. Both mouse and numpad keys are acting up on mine, and were not previously. Obviously something on my end is screwed up, then.

 

I usually use TrackIR but if I don't plan on flying I sometimes don't bother. The view functions, but only within a limited range of movement, like I said about matching the movements of the 3d model pilot's head (side to side to 90' but very limited up down and will not look far enough diagonally to even see the battery switches).

 

I will run a repair and do some more testing. Apologies for the false report.

Also try deleting your keyboard and mouse bindings for Hawk which will revert back to default.

[Ells228]

Just did another flight; using keyboard completely this time from start-up, taxi, take off, circuit, landing and shut down.

 

Keypad numbers work fine for looking around the cockpit for me and to all extents that I can see all switches, levers, etc. to fly the aircraft.

 

Like I posted above I'd suggest clearing your Hawk keybinds by deleting the following folders:

Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\Hawk\keyboard

Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\Hawk\mouse

 

Both of mine are actually blank as I haven't assigned anything custom for Hawk for keyboard or mouse so it's using the defaults.

 

Let me know if that works,

Chris.

Check if you have any custom snap views saved.

These can sometimes interfere with the default views... Just a wild guess, but won't hurt to check.

[Mars Exulte]

I don't actually know how to do that, but I may have done it accidentally :p I'm in North Dakota right now and won't be back a few days. Thanks for the suggestions
