views

[MADe]

FOV at 87

palm hat gets me 360' along planes horizontal axis

4 separate buttons gets me front up, up, back up and front down

I have customized head pos for each view selection

So I am having a hard time keeping eyes on a specific enemy in a dog fight. I keep losing sight and I do not understand why.
Is it possible to cycle thru views too fast?
If I am constantly riding the views, can the enemy planes not get seen cuz the card can not keep up? or positional data gets lost?

I think its time I checked out some views training, anyone available? Right now I am flying midnights +/-, est.

Try using one button for the "up" view that you can combine with the hat views. Then you can see "front left up" in addition to "front up" for example.

Practice flying aerobatics like loops and barrel rolls over an airfield, low to the ground, while keeping an object like the radar tower constantly in view.

Practice flying loops and barrel rolls around the offline drones while glancing at all of them.

If you still have trouble after a reasonable amount of practice let me know.

An 8 way hat, plus 2 switches you can hit with the other hand (one for up, and one for down) can give you 26 different views. You can click through them faster than you can see them if you try (Ill buzz through a full 8 views real quick to try a spot some "red" if I've lost site of the bad guy, but you cant tell what your looking at that fast).

Zooming in when you set your views may hinder you more than help as then the views dont over lap as well.

Your a handy guy, you can try this....

A poor mans TrackIR. It works and pretty cheap to build yourself. That write up is pretty old and the software and such maybe newer now, but it worked well back then if you want to see how TrackIR works.

I think part of your problem is the narrow FOV (87).  I use 106, some others settle on different FOV choices. 
Try and find one that suits your needs.
