Pressing F10 saves the current view. It doesn't set the default view.
What's the specific problem in the F4F? Did you try resetting the default position before moving?
To restore the default take off the headset or turn it off. Press the Home key to reset the view.
Press F10 to save the view. Put your headset back on or turn it back on.
If the view isn't centered press your TIR recenter button.
You are correct - F10 saves the current view. And yes, I did try resetting to default.
I simply freeze my TIR, use the arrow keys to adjust to desired position, hit F10, and I am good to go. Worked for years in all AC.
Using the same steps above in the F4F-4, resetting the default view does not work for me. I can't see the gun sight and my head position is at the top of the canopy. When I try to adjust using the arrow keys, after freezing TIR, and save with F10, the head position ends up somewhere randomly different.
Maybe someone could attempt to duplicate this to see if it's my equipment or a bug.
