Customising a Snap View: 1. Set your current view up as you want it saved. 2. Press LWin+NumN - NumN being whichever numeric keypad key you intend customising. Your view will briefly snap to whatever the current snap view setting is for that key, then return to your previous view. 3. Press RAlt+Num0 - The snap view should now be saved. Test it by changing your view, then holding down LWin+NumX - you should see your customised snap view! Important: Disable/Pause your Track-IR/Head-tracker while doing it !

David OC Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) Setting up the Free Su-25t with a single joystick and keyboard. I give some ideas here that you can play with using the keyboard and single joystick. I even started out flying the A-10C using a single stick and keyboard. TF-51D Single Joystick Setup Very Basic getup and fly guide It's a little dark and needs redoing Edited November 21, 2019 by David OC i7-7700K OC @ 5Ghz | ASUS IX Hero MB | ASUS GTX 1080 Ti STRIX | 32GB Corsair 3000Mhz | Corsair H100i V2 Radiator | Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe 500G SSD | Samsung 850 EVO 500G SSD | Corsair HX850i Platinum 850W | Oculus Rift | ASUS PG278Q 27-inch, 2560 x 1440, G-SYNC, 144Hz, 1ms | VKB Gunfighter Pro Chuck's DCS Tutorial Library Download PDF Tutorial guides to help get up to speed with aircraft quickly and also great for taking a good look at the aircraft available for DCS before purchasing.

David OC Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) DCS Trackir Setup in simulator 12:40 Important to have a zoom in, out and a reset zoom key on your controls. 14:39 I go over Trackir camera and headset positioning, this is very important if you are having trackir tracking problems. New faster multiplayer profile below I speed up the Track ir profile even more here so you can see your monitor easier when looking around and it's less work on turning your head / neck and eye's when looking backwards. Helps for doing long multiplayer sessions.... The trade off is that it is quicker, if you are new to track ir, you may want to slow things down until you adapt to it first, then speed it up some more. Flight Sim Junkie Profile 001, save it to your desktop. Again this is not recommended for getting started with Trackir, it's a very quick moving profile. Start with a slow smoother profile to adapt. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Im5H5HHVZfFNOF9K7z9HSbHiijnfmoq1/view Place in YOUR TrackIR profiles found at...... C:UsersYOURNANEAppDataRoamingNaturalPointTrackIR 5Profiles Reload Trackir and switch to this profile.
