Petition to enable 2 new keys for different forward views

[MANDO]

One for setting up a head position well over normal placement. It may help for gunning and landing.
The other for a lower head position, to view the "below visual line" controls with a single key press.

We already have 2 foward views.  I use the number 8 on the keypad to view my control panel.  Just hold number 8 and use the arrow keys to lower head then press F10, then next time you press 8 you can see your control panel.

I would like another rearview so I can see on both sides of my seat.  In the heat of battle it's a pain to have to use the arrow keys to slide.

Petition DENIED!

I go with Jeffery, just use the F-10 function to map a certain headposition.

Helluvan Idea mapping the KP8 key for the instruments ...

Never thought of that...

Hmm - TrackIR = no keys = no worries! Just move where u want to look...

Actually, we have three or four forward views, but can use only two with the hat key. IIRC, if you press 8+1 and 8+3 on the keypad that will each give you a new forward view that can be saved.

 However, with the hat key it is either the default or the hat-forward view.

 
 I've always thought his was a good idea:

1. If we go to hat-key position in the sequence of; --> that gives you one programmable forward view.

2. If we go to hat-key position in the sequence of; --> that gives you another programmable forward view.

3. If we go to hat-key position in directly from --> , that will give you a 3rd programmable forward view

 Typically, with #1 one would program "looking over the left cowl" view, "looking over the right cowl" with #2, and "highest seat position possible" with #3.

im using 3-4 forward views per plane the way Kweassa described it. i change views with the keyboard and use HAT for flaps, WEP and switching ordnance. its been like that since HAT died in my first joystick years ago

...or just buy TrackIR with vector.
