Lost my cockpit/forward view. Help!

[Slap]

HI all. I seem to have lost/done something to lose forward/cockpit view...When I start the sim it defaults to rear view. Same when I use trackIR.

I have been in tinkering mode all morning...Unfortunately I'm pretty good at messing things up

Any ideas ?

Think I sorted it...It seems that you can press F10 to reset the view to where you had it last. I have been hitting F10 a lot in Fraps for screen shoots.

You can also go into the defaults folder, which is inside data/luascripts/snapviews and copy the relevant file there back into snapviews.

Thanks LukeFF. 

I am not sure which would be the relevant files to replace if needed. Could I just copy the content of Default folder and paste the lot into snapview one? The file numbers in each folder are 97 and 99 respectively (doesn't sound promising.. ).

Either way good to know.

I assume you only managed to break the view on one aircraft so go into the '\data\LuaScripts\snapviews\defaults' folder and copy the file that has the same as name as the broken aircraft into '\data\LuaScripts\snapviews'

 

You can just delete the file from '\data\LuaScripts\snapviews' entirely and it will rebuild it again with the settings you had when you first installed the game.

 

The third option is to disable TrackIr and go into the cockpit and use the keys for moving the pilots head (or just use the mouse if you don't need to raise/lower it or move it sideways) to make it look where you want then press F10.     What F!0 does is make whatever direction you are facing when you press it become your default view.

.. or just re-map F10 so there's no conflict ?

Roblex, you the man!

 

Appreciate the break-down thank you
