+Dave Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 It might just be me but does this look like the pilot is sitting way too far forward? I cannot move back any farther using the mouse buttons. What do I edit to pull it back more? Quote
bubu Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 go into the relevant cockpit ini file, look for the line beginning with "offset". These three number series are always the same, the first number is the left and right, the second is the forward and back, and the last is up and down. To move your head "eyepoint" back you would adjust the middle number in that series, making it more negative, such as Offset=0.0,0.0,0.0 change as follows: Offset=0.0,-0.15,0.0. Being a pilot, one of my frustrations is the sims consistently give you the cockpit perspective of a six year old, with the panel looming large in front of you blocking most of your view forward. When I discovered this trick I was able to get a much more realistic view reflective of what I see in real life... 3 Quote
Stick Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I think its more to do with your viewlist.ini if this with all your cockpits. Quote
+Dave Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 No stick it's just that one pit. Thanks bubu, I'll try that. Quote
+Stary Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 one more note -the overall FOV of viewlist by default is a bit much on the binoculars side, I wonder how the size and spped woulf feel if we'd make new viewlist with a bit wider FOV in general, both for default F1 view and external ones, something that has been on my mind for quite a while Quote

By the way, if you look some Bronco pics you´ll see that the FOV is correct. The cockpit is very sparse... Quote
+RAVEN Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Just thought I'd throw this in. On some of the pits I've made, I've had to cheat on placement and size of the meshes sometimes to make things look correct because of the FOV limitations. Don't know if it's somethi that can be corrected with an ini edit. Quote

Yes it is the bronco pit, so are you saying if you pull the view back too much you'll see the seat? Quote
Wilches Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Yes it is the bronco pit, so are you saying if you pull the view back too much you'll see the seat? Yes. As I said, no way. You can´t move the seat backwards too, once it belongs to another parts. Quote
+Stary Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 you can hide the seat I think via good old INI movement trick, yes? I take the seat is the one modelled in cockpit as the external view usues different model defined elsewhere, so yeah all depends how the model is build ie. is the seat a tandalone mesh linked to other cockpit parts or is it say part of whole consoles + seat + sides + whatnot mesh -LOD Viewer is the tool you'd use in such case Quote
+Dave Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 Dave check pm :) That didn't do anything my friend but thank you. Quote
+hi ho silver Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Should of set you back in the seat and snap does not zoom (I have snaps on hat). Quote
+hi ho silver Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Dave could be your MaxFOV= mine is 90 for my 32" screen if you using 3 monitors you should may be try 120. Quote
+hi ho silver Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 The same cockpit at 90 and 120 fov. Quote
bubu Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 modified view on A-4E adjusting offsets. I can see my wings! Quote
