Mars Exulte Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 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. Spoiler The troll formerly known as Zhukov Link to post Share on other sites
Ells228 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Nope, no feature added. It should be working as it always has. Will look into it. Thanks, Chris. Link to post Share on other sites
shagrat Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 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 Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 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. Spoiler The troll formerly known as Zhukov Link to post Share on other sites
Ells228 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Are you using the numpad keys to look around. It’s working fine on mine? Link to post Share on other sites
Mizzy Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Working fine for me, no issues. Mizzy Link to post Share on other sites
Mars Exulte Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 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. Spoiler The troll formerly known as Zhukov Link to post Share on other sites
Ells228 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Also try deleting your keyboard and mouse bindings for Hawk which will revert back to default. Link to post Share on other sites
Ells228 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 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. Link to post Share on other sites

Just a wild guess, but won't hurt to check.

Mars Exulte Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 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.
