Default head positions.
« on: October 29, 2015, 11:11:56 AM »
Anyone interested in creating a full set of head positions for all planes.

Or at least the primary views?

Perhaps some of us could submit our head position settings file and you may choose the one you like.
What do we upload, the settings folder?

Primary being front, back, left, right, up back? Or do you want corner views also? Do you prefer the full set with up and down modifiers?

These would be set for FOV 80?

Do you want the alternate front view focused on the instruments?

Window frames in side views for reference if possible?

How soon do you need it?

All the 2 key combos, except the down stuff.

Also the 2nd forward map to angled down (see gauges) if needed and moved up for over the nose.

As to how soon, no real time frame but with in few weeks would be nice.

I would ship these files in a 2nd default directory, and they would be used when a saved one does not exist.

I am down here in Florida visiting for my granddaughter's first birthday (this past Sunday) and my youngest daughter's birthday next Monday, but when I return on November 6th, I'll zip file all my AH .hps view setting files (for the Alpha) and email them to HTC, if that will help

I don't mind doing the same for the current AH version as well, if needed

Hope this is helpful

I'll give it a shot.  I've wished for adjusted views for newbies.   :D

Good idea.  I played the game for weeks with people telling me to check 6 and all I could see was a head rest when I looked back.  Then I found out about setting the head position.  Frustrating for new players.

I had the same thought.   :D

FOV is 80. There is a bit of aircraft visible for reference in each view except the right side up view.  Left side would be symmetric.

I renamed my settings folder and that fixed the F8 pan key and the mouse look. 

The first picture is how I think you want the second forward view set but the mouse view tilt isn't saved with F10 so I end up with what you see in the second picture with only the head raised. The third pic is the instruments without the tilt.

What would be really neat is to fix the head initial position to be historically accurate.

You are correct on that is what I wish for, I forgot that only the default view saves the angle.

So lift over nose will only is what I would choose for the 2nd forward view.

You are making more than one assumption here with no validation.

The initial position is generally accurate. You assume it's wrong or you forgot to explain how it's wrong.

Pilots were different sizes. Which size pilot is correct?

Pilots had different preferences. Which pilot's preference is correct?

We get to choose our position and now new pilots will start with a useful rear view. What is better than that?

I got that but I thought it would be faster for you to look at pics for the example.

By the way, hps files will not attach to the forum.
