Weird F4u cockpit view defaults
« on: September 26, 2026, 08:38:24 AM »
Been trying to fix my cockpit views and I think I reset them back to default. However I noticed that the f4u-1 rear and top views are basically unusable. They also are quite different from the D. Any idea why?

Tried adjusting them with the keyboard but didn't seem to work (in VR). Any tips on getting these fixed? It "feels" like cockpit is way too small in VR and not "life size". Like I'm driving a go cart.

Best way to adjust the views with VR is to remove the headset while in VR and use the screen view. Adjust with the arrows, page up, page down keys and save with F10. When you put the headset back on it will hold the new settings.

Or alternately, move your head to where you want it and hit F10.  To adjust the center for a hat view, hold the hat button(s) and move your head where you want it and hit F10.  Sometimes, if you're not looking forward, it may save the position in the wrong direction.  In that case, move your head away from where you want it and hit F10.

The F4U is the only plane I have been able to do this with but get an odd offsets chase plane view of them in the MA. It’s not like you would use it to fly or anything it’s a weirdly angled view, but it happens. As if you hit F4 in a bomber.

If you fiddle with your rear hat switches it will put you outside the plane. Doesn’t always happen but I can replicate it usually most times. Somewhere in here are pictures I posted a while back.

Maybe because it’s an F4 haha
