question on snap views

[Tycoon]

I've been trying to set up my joy hat for old style snap views ( click the hat left, pilot head snaps 90' to left , release and center again) but I cant find the setting for it.

 

thx

ie First picture shows key  to change view type (I think  f9 is the default),   and where to bind your dif  hat  positions for dif snaps  and 2nd picture shows how to set what is the default view  and the settings that control snap speed and zoom speeds etc. (I don't use a lot of default key bindings, so mine vary somewhat).

 

you can also use F10 which saves the position of a snap view. (hold the snap then adjust position with mouse and head position keys(up/down/left /right/forward/back), and then press F10 to save it)

 

 

 

Obviously these are my settings and u will need to set your own preferences.

 

I don't use anymore as I have head tracker.

As an example,  Numpad 0 is for a snap view looking up about 75 degrees. (I think the key and angle are the default setting) and let's say that instead you want to raise your head up  and look over your nose.

 

Go into your plane, 

turn off or disable TrackIr or Trackhat etc  if you use them,   

press Numpad 0 and you will end up looking steeply upwards.

Keep holding Numpad 0 and with your other hand use your mouse to move the view down to see your nose and make sure it is straight.

Still holding Numpad 0,  press PgUp (that is default to raise pilot head) to the amount you want (canopy will stop you going past a certain height) and re-adjust view with mouse.

Sill holding Numpad 0,  adjust zoom if required using mousewheel

Still holding Numpad 0,  press F10 then release Numpad 0

 

Note,  this is just for that aircraft.  Each aircraft has its own snap views.  The F9 key that Stix circled in his post is to decide if you want to immediately jump to that view or move there smoothly and the window he showed for setting 'speeds' is to specify how fast to move there smoothly.
