Cockpit view

[PF_Lizard]

I notice it coming out of a stall etc. But I think it's a) useful, and b) pretty realistic. I'd like to see someone keep their head still with those sort of G's being thrown around! lol

I'm pretty sure if you're moving your head with the stick, it cancels out the effects.

I wish Red/Black outs were more prominent. We're like super humans - we can out manoeuvre a fighter plane. We would be rubbish test pilots!

I accept that your head moves with g force. As a Pilot myself I can assure you that your eyes dont and your brain compensates for your head movement making it feel like you are totally fixed in position. I find the demo so difficult as the plane cockpit floats around totally out of relation to my position in it. I also prefer this in racing sims and generally end up using bonnet cam due to the glut of developers who think that swinging your head around in some way simulates the feeling of g effects. Try it. Look at a fixed object then tilt your head, notice how it still appears straight and fixed...

Could somebody please list available view settings in the options menus. (Particularly around the changes that can be made to cockpit view). Cheers.

You can't change anything about the views. In cockpit view there is a 'slight' headshake but no where near as much in IL on the PC

There is not option to turn it off. I noticed that I leave headshake on in '46, that's probably why I didn't notice it.


Speaking of head movement, any other TrackIR users notice themselves turning their head instead of the hat switch?

Hard habit to break.

not a user of trackir... but Freetrack... with my own hand made hardware... and yeah, I find myself turning my head to follow a plane, but then not being able to track it because my thumbs don't work well with movements while pressing in the thumbstick. ( it would be better with either a toggle, or no snap back to normal view. ) in fact I would rather have them implement a look without the snap back to normal.

i even catch myself leaning into the screen to zoom in on the instrument panel... LOL gotta love the 6dof with trackir/freetrack..

I wont be buying this then. Really disappointing as the game looks good.
