Title: Page up/down and Arrow keys not working for pilot view positions.
Post by: CSI147 on October 08, 2025, 10:08:04 AM

I can't seem to figure out why the page up/down and the directional arrow keys don't work for adjusting the pilot head position.  When I press the said keys, the head acts like it wants to move but sticks after it shifts ever so lightly in that position.  I'm hoping there is a simple solution.  Any suggestions would help.  Thanks.

It sounds like you may have an "axis" programed for you head movement, you can only do one or the other (use arrows).

I think your looking for ctrl + F5? 

It's bugged me over the years and i've burnt it into my core memory.

Fugi's got what it normally is with that behavior.  Do you have TrackIR or VR?  That'll do it too.  To adjust head position with either of those, just move your head where you want it and hit F10.

In my case of using VR, head adjustment must be done by removing the headset first...

This what I have found too.

Interesting.  I use VR as well, and here's how I set my centers for head movement:

- Put my head where I want my neutral spot to be.
- Hit ctrl-F4.  Generally only need to do this once.
- move my head toward where I want the new center to be relative to the current center, hit F10.  It sometimes doesn't move it far enough, don't exactly understand why, so I hit it as many times as necessary.

So if I want my head to sit higher in the cockpit, I hit ctrl-F4, then lift my head higher and hit F10.  My head jumps up.  THen I relax to the neutral spot I set when I hit ctrl-F4 and see if my view's where I want it.  Adjust again as necessary.

This also works holding a view button.  So you can hold any of the view button combos and move your head and hit F10 to move the center position in that direction as well.  When a view button is being pressed, moving your head like this is all relative to the direction you're pointing.  So if you're looking straight up with the 5 key, to move your head to the front of the plane, you need to lower your head, not move it forward.

Track IR will also override the arrow key functions.
