Back & Up View

[Hap]

Weird thing here.  Page up always worked fine in conjuction with #5 on keypad and #2 to move headrest out of the way for a back up view.  With this new relatively cheap Microsoft keyboard, they don't.  I've not reassigned any keys.  Anyone run into this?

I've run into this same problem. I believe for me the magic numbers are 5 and 6. So when I am pressing 5 and 6 on the numpad at the same time, I can't adjust my head position. It's no more than an inconvenience to me because I've mapped "Look Up" to a button on my joystick. So instead of pressing 5, 6 and Page Up for example, I press the button on my joystick, 6 and Page Up. I think the problem is more of a Windows thing not wanting to accept too many simultaneous key inputs or something. I don't know.

 Did you know you can save a head position once you have the view you want hold it and  hit the f10 key. This will save that position you can do this for all your views.

So, map some buttons for fubared keyboard functions?  Is that right?  Never tried it, but i will.  Thanks!

something else, formerly, page up brought the airplane's frame down.  nothing else.  now, at the end on the declination of the airframe, it moves towards me almost like a zoom.  anyone else have this?

Yeah - there's no "stop."

agree only in certain planes though but it is annoying,  messes with your normal shooting position.

Planes that have round cockpit glass causes the extra movement, bubble canopies.  HTC changed it so your head could go all the way to the glass.

I believe this is caused by an update in how the cockpits were modeled.  On older models the space you could move your head position through was a box, this resulted in some generous positioning depending on the shape of the canopy.  In some of the new plane models this is no longer the case, the space now more closely follows the contours of the canopy.  So you're hitting page up and the head is moving up till it hits the canopy then following the contour depending on the angle.
