Accidentally pressed F10! Now what?

[NotOnlyforDCS]

As the title says, I accidentaly pressed F10, I think by default it's the key that saves your camera/view position. 

 

As I was stretching to reach the keyboard at the time, this has moved my "virtual" head in the cockpit and now I can't reset my view back to default. Pressing Num5 only centers the view around this new position in 3d space. 

 

Any help would be appreciated on how I get back to a default view in VR?

Simple solution - lean to your normal position if you can then press F10 again. You can do it gradually.

 

Technical solution -

Locate this folder:  [...] \IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles\data\LuaScripts\snapviews\defaults

Find the file that belongs to the plane you have this issue with and copy that file one directory up. To here: [...] \IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles\data\LuaScripts\snapviews

 

Make sure to create a backup of both files before you do this because I am not exactly sure you need to copy from the defaults to the snapviews folder (like I wrote above) or the other way.

Thanks for the help HunDread! Will try the technical solution as I don't feel like doing gymnastics in my seat lol

I think you can also launch the game in non-VR, set up a QMB on the ground, and then just use the head adjustment keys to move your head to nearly the right position, Then launch in VR and fine tune it more easily.

 

Oh, and re-bind F10 to something like CTRL-F10 so its harder to accidentally nudge.
