Resetting cockpit views
« on: September 24, 2026, 11:52:54 AM »
Is there a way of resetting the cockpit head positions and views back to default? Are the files saved in the settings folder and can they be deleted safely? Having some whacky head positions especially in VR that making gunnery virtually impossible. When I try hitting the home or F1 key and saving the position again it seems to be in effective.  (Using VR). Thanks!

Yes, hitting the "home" key while in the "view" returns the view to the default.

If your game is in the default location use the file manager to goto C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High III\settings\planes Scroll to the bottom and all the files with "VR_xxx.hps are the saved HeadPositionSettings files for your VR. I believe they can just be deleted as in the folder "defaulthps" all the the default head positions are saved for your back up.

Thanks yes I tried the home key but couldn't get the default view back/saved. Went thru and deleted the VR files and that seems to have fixed it. Anyone know what the other plane specific files are? Can I delete the whole folder and reset all settings to default?

xxx.jsm is joystick mapping

xxx.kmp is key mapping

xxx.cfg are config files for positioning and such

If it has VR_ in front of it it is a VR setting only. With out it they are normal play settings.

I think pretty much any file you delete or rename so it wont be used will be replaced by the game the next time you start it. However I have never tested that, your on your own  :)

no, dont know. If it is a file in the game I would think its a default setting. Load outs dont really seem to have a default
