HOTAS Zoom Setup

Marmusman · #1 08-20-2012, 12:21 AM

Some recent discussions in our squad informed me of a cool feature for zooming using a smooth FOV movement and being able to set up for HOTAS on Saitek X52 joystick. This may already be common knowledge, but thought we'd share.

S!

Nice analogue control. For those with no mouse stick, this works nicely. Tested it last couple of days ago:

Thanks so far, but I still hate the switching between fastened and released seatbelt to get in front of the revi. Especially in use in a bf109 due to its non-centered revi.

The switching is not the key issue, but the limited angles fore u to switch so fast, that u lise your enemy abd have no hands free to sufficiently perform othe important controls.

For me, this is currently a killer to fly my beloved bf sufficiently. I can manage, but I want to concentrate on get perfection in flying not in managing the view

I am not sure I understand....I do not use the fasten/release seatbelt commands. I use FreeTrack so I move my head over to the revi or you can use Shift+F1 to get gunsight view.

S!

Just lean forward (in RL) and you get the same effect as the "loosen seatbelt". As in, you move your virtual head forward in the cockpit. Adjust your TrackIR/Freetrack Z-axis settings to get a more pronounced effect. As for the Revi not being centered, just calibrate/center your TIR/FT with your head slightly to the left. Now when you have your head on its normal position the virtual head will be slightly to the right.
