Title: F6F cockpit
Post by: wiskyfog on April 04, 2012, 11:56:18 AM

Today I jumped in a mission, driving an F-6 F, I felt as though I were three years old, and I couldn't see over the edge of the cockpit frame?? The only thing I could see on my screen was dashboard, anybody else experience this? All the other aircraft seem to be okay. This has happened since the last update

Guessing you use TrackIR...  Visit the Bugs forum, you'll see many threads there.

Yessir, I am. No link to "bug" forum and search for "trackir", those results are old.

Pretty much every thread with TrackIR in the name is related to your issue.

This is the thread I started...

I don't use trackir and I'm getting this problem... Also, I can't move the pilots head more than .5 cm or so.

My TIR works for all the planes i have tried, (except F6F)but it seems that the cockpits on others  has gotten somewhat cavernous with dashboards you can hardly see over

Along left side of seat toward the seatback you'll find a lever with a knob on the end.  Before strapping in release the lever and raise the seat to the appropriate height.   Much better view.

Black.

Another option would be to use a seat-pack parachute...that will get you 4 - 6 inches.

NEVER pull the red one.

Another option is to use a seat-pack parachute.
