Pilots Head position reset?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I messed up the Pilot Head position with the F10 key. Is there a way to reset it to default without reinstalling the whole Game?

 

I cant find a key for it in the settings menue

 

thx in advance

A reset button would be nice ...

1. Turn off head tracking or VR.

 

2. Use the keyboard to move pilot head into the desired default position.

 

3. Hit F10 to save the new default position.

 

4. Go i to setting and reassign the "Save default pilot head position"-key to something other than F10 (I use ctrl+F10) so it doesn't happen again.

There's a reset position somewhere, it's something I did before my first flight. Have it mapped to my joystick

You can delete the head position file and the game will go back to defaults when you fly that aircraft again and recreate the file.

 

I'm at work so I can't give the path right now but if nobody else gives it PM to remind me and I'll find it next time I fly.

I don't get why people are so keen to delete setting just because they made one foul-up? It's so much easier to just fix that one head position on one aircraft, and it's really, really easy to do.

Thx but I didnt have head tracking or VR.I just use the Mouse in the Cockpit. I messed things up in a way that a go back to default is too time consuming. I already try it out.

Personally, I feel I can never get it perfectly back to the default when I make this mistake. There is a single file per aircraft, so it's not like you have to delete all your views, just the file for the aircraft you messed up.

 

Semor, the directory is YOUR_INSTALL_DIRECTORY/data/LuaScripts/snapviews btw (my install directory is C:/Program Files (x86)/1C Game Studios/IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Moscow, yours may differ). You might consider backing up your install directory before messing around in here. I haven't done it in over a year, but it should be as simple as deleting the .svc file for whatever plane you messed up, then just flying that plane again and it should be back to the defaults.

Simple, just press Numpad 5 to center the view and then F10 to set that as the default view again.

 

To do this disable all tracking devices first.

+1 I messed up my camera once in a spasm of key presses lol. The above is exactly what I did to fix it!

If we delete that file then we will lose all saved head positions for all planes right?

weird, this used to work for me, but now if I hit numpad 5 after I disable track IR it just resets it to the saved, incorrect setting again.....

 

This sucks. I was playing and my cat stepped on f10, now my view is all messed up.

Disable Tracker IR then press and hold numpad 5. While holding numpad 5 adjust your view using the mouse and head up/down/left/right keys. When you get it where you want press F10. This will reset your numpad 5 position.

First mistake was to put that command on F10 by default. It should be ctrl+F10 or some other combo unlikely to be hit accidentally.

Something you definitely want to change as soon as you intalled the game.

I deleted the Snapviews folder and downloaded it again.

Thanks!

Interesting for this topic to show back up, as after this update my 190A8 has reset its default view into a slouch or child height position...

Just hold KP5 then use insert ,del ,home etc plus mouse if you like to move head position to the center and  holding kp5 press f10 to save.

It has to do with the new German pilot model. The G-14 camera positions were reset as well.

I see some have the TC Cap or FC Vol1 badge. 

What is this?

Ah I see. I do not have yet the Tank stuff. Hard for me to stay crammed in a tin can.

God bless the mighty savants that bail out us feckless noobs.  (Been around since the original IL-2 Sturmovik in 2001 or so.  Still a noob,)  I had the Spitfire Vb stuck with the pilot in midair looking down at the right wing root.  I knew about the F10 thing, what I did not know about was [Alt + "Tab"] to get out to the desktop and turn FaceTrackNoir on and off.

(Using that with Tobii 5 since TrackIR won't work in my present location, too many spurious IR sources.  Wouldn't it be nice if the devs would support Tobii the way DCS does.  .  .)
