[Flying Circus] Default Camera Position for the Sopwith Camel

[falle96]

Hey everyone,

 

I just got Flying Circus today, and I must say that I'm enjoying the planes, but there's something of a caveat. I have TrackIR, so I can circumvent this problem with some difficulty - and I'm not 100% certain that this problem isn't unique to me - but the default camera placement for the Sopwith Camel is uncomfortably low.

 

I've tested the cockpits of the three other planes currently available (the Spad, the Fokker triplane, and the Pfalz), and they seem to be lined up perfectly as they were (as far as I can remember) in Rise of Flight, where the default position centers you over the gunsight and means that any adjustment will eventually return you to that comfortable shooting position. I have had to either crane my neck up uncomfortably to reach the sight or set a low TrackIR default position to adjust, but even when testing the game's "return to center" command I seem to come back to this odd state.

Attached are some photographs of the four cockpits. I think you'll tell which one is the odd one out.

 

I hope that this is just a me problem, and I've skipped some stupid fundamental step, but if not I would greatly appreciate this being patched, as the planes of Flying Circus are wonderful (though I seem to have some trouble coaxing some of them off the ground at times...).

It's easy enough to adjust your camera view with the instructions provided in the official user manual.

I can make the adjustment, but as far as I know any changes I make are not saved to default. Every time I start a flight in the Camel I will need to readjust just to center myself over both the gunsight and the Aldis (I tested the latter this morning to be sure that it wasn't specific to the iron sights). 

 

If this is the developer's intent and there's no intention to fix something, or even if it isn't broken, then I will adapt, but I do honestly feel like the way the Camel is set up right now isn't correct. All of the other planes I have flown, including craft from Battle of Stalingrad and Battle of Moscow, put the camera default so that you are staring down the gunsight of your craft. I don't see a reason as to why this plane in particular is an exception.

Hello. Center and pause your trackir, then you can use insert, end, home, page up and down keys to alter your view. When you are happy hit F10 to save the view ?

No kidding, so you *can* make a new default view?

 

I'm very sorry for the trouble, I had no idea that this was even a feature. Feel free to delete this thread.

Yea, if I remember correctly the saved view will "stick" with the plane so its good to go the next time you fly it.

No trouble at all, glad to help
