Thanks much for this! As a complete noob to IL2, I found it VERY helpful. Salute!

Until seeing this I had no idea you could save a view as default. Thanks!

Thank you!! Great video as always! And I think this will be VERY usefull when I finally start playing the game. You rock!

Excellent as usual! thanks for taking the time to make the videos.

Thanks! I am often fascinated by some of the more out of the ordintary external camera placements that some KZreadrs use in their vids. I hope that you will eventually show us how those external views can be created

Is there a way to pan diagonally in Rise of Flight? It doesn't seem to work for me. It can turn left and up, but not both left and up

Thanks. Your videos has become a necessity for me now making learning easier. I have a question for you. I have see videos how you handle the planes when landing and in various maneuvers, not only here but in RoF too (In good control). This is reason I want to ask if you can make more videos on spin recovery? Or is the Eindecker video apply to most planes?

@RequiemsACTL

The spin recovery videos in this channel are pretty much what you need for the procedure. Spins #1 - Upright Spins Spins #2 - Inverted Spins Just take up an aircraft and do nothing but spins in it for a while. Repeat the process to yourself as you do each step and you will get it, I promise! For RoF though some of the spin recoveries are individual to each aircraft, but in a case where the standard method doesn't work, you can find those procedures in the RoF manual.

IL-2 Tutorials by Requiem Thanks. Easier than I thought, but the Camel is still a pain in the bum. :)

Thank you - very helpful. As an extension it would be useful to have a video that discusses the pro and cons of setting up views in certain ways. For example I have been using servers that allow padlock and my views are quite zoomed in. I am now trying more realistic servers and struggling to spot and track planes - perhaps I am too zoomed in on my views?

I tend to use the zoom just to look at distance contacts but keep a zoomed out view when flying in general so that way I have a bigger picture of what's around me

Very nice :)

Hi Req, great channel. Thanks for the effort. I have a question about the default view... When I saved the default views (eg centre view or rear oblique), it doesn't seem to apply to ONLY that plane, it seems to be applied across all planes... Am I doing something wrong?

@RequiemsACTL

Mathew Sher Hi Mathew, a default view should be solely for the aircraft you save it for and not for any other aircraft. There are files with a .svc extension for each aircraft (and gunner positions) you can find in the /data/luascripts folder which save all these snap views individually. It really shouldn't be saving a view for all aircraft. Something sounds off so it might be a bug. You could try deleting the .svc files there and starting fresh, but make sure you back it up first. New .svc files should be generated upon launching the game.

The Air Combat Tutorial Library When using the in-game flight recorder the game records "clunky" micro-steps when i barely move the head. Saw more people with this problem. Anyone know how can i solve it?

Can i zoom in and out in the cockpit while using TrackIR? In DCS I have a zoom in/out axis that works without having to pause TrackIR. I tried to set up the same way in IL-2 but the zoom doesn’t work.

F10 doesn't work like it's supposed to for me. I have a problem with my hotas. I hit right on the hat switch and it doesn't do anything unless I hit f10 while holding it down, but then that makes it so that f10 is now my default center view. It does this for all axes except forward right and backward right, and up/forward. Every other one is broken.

If you have track IR then these options are irrelevant, but there are still plenty of people out there who don't use it due to its cost. I had many requests from people to make a video covering this.

@BenedictTanShanWen

It's actually handy for TrackIR users if you do not want to use a default center view that has the gunsight dead center. Spacially I like the view center and high in all aircraft and just lean into the correct position if I need to shoot with TrackIR. I also prefer the default head position further back to reduce the amount of occlusion the struts in some of the cockpits take up and get better instrument views. Custom snapviews is a great way to do this.

I see in youtuber's videos their head movement is so smooth and fast in pan mode, is this because they are using Thrustmaster sticks? Is there a way to get it that smooth and fluid with a 3d Pro?

@RequiemsACTL

5 жыл бұрын

The stick you use shouldn't really matter when using pan view. I used to have a logitech 3D pro myself and would use the hat on top to control my views. You may need to tweak the speed and inertia settings to your liking so you can get smooth movement.

So the camera view in the settings is only for using the hat to look around? Would those camera settings interfere with your camera view when using TrackIr 5? as that is what i use not the hat.

@RequiemsACTL

2 жыл бұрын

No when you use trackIR it will work fine, but you can set up snap views which can override trackIR by holding the snap view button down I think

I am trying to take screenshots but the 'free camera' is incredibly sensitive. Is there an alternative to move smoothly and slowly in external view that I have missed?

It is pretty sensitive when you use the keys. Try and assign it to the axis of your stick and see if that improves it.

Great video! I do have a question however: for pan view, is there a way to move head diagonally? i'm only able to bow head vertically, and turn left and right, when i try to do a combination, nothing happens. Any help would be much appreciated!

@RequiemsACTL

5 жыл бұрын

There should be a diagonal move I think...but I haven't used it in years due to TrackIR. Look under settings, pilot head control. Those head snap positions should correlate to movement on the POV hat I think.

The Air Combat Tutorial Library thanks, I’ll look for that setting! I just realized a bigger problem though: when I push f9 to change camera mode, I get the notification that the mode has switched, but it doesn’t change from how I actually use the hat to view. I don’t have snap camera controls mapped, is that why? Anyways, no matter what is says for which camera mode, they all control the same, except for in anything other than pan camera, for which when i use pilot snap position center, it zooms in. This is all very confusing, do you know of such an issue?

@RequiemsACTL

5 жыл бұрын

That means you have two controls assigned to the one button. You can see when this happens when there is a little orange box in the box that tells you the control assignment. If you hover the mouse over it it will tell you what other function that key is assigned to. I use multiple keys for different functions in many cases (for example water radiators and cowl flaps on the same key since an airplane won't have both), so it's a useful feature but you need to make sure nothing is interfering sometimes.

The zoom issue

Hello, maybe you can help me. I was having the option to move the camera with the joystick hat, as i am moving with the mouse, something like a free camera. I press f9 by mistake and the camera view goes to hell. Now if i am moving the hat to the left, it goes to the left and zooms automatically, if i am in gunsight view and for example i want to look at an instrument if i am pressing down on the hat nothing happens. I don t know how to revert to the camera mode, where i am using the hat as i am using the mouse. Maybe you can help me

My track IR is stuck at 3:00. Tried you method... the keys don't respond as you show. After finally getting it lined up, hit F10 and turn the IR back on using the F9, it when back to 3:00. Exited, turned IR totally off, set things up - after finally getting keys to behave - saved, then exited to turn IR back on and restart... still screwed up. View is stuck centered at 3:00. Will uninstall and reinstall... will have to set everything back up, or maybe say F this and stick with DCS. --- Update: After uninstall and reinstall, problem is gone and - oddly - all of my control setting were reinstalled as well. Odd, but I'll take it. I had run with no problems before, only had the BOS for about a month, when it went goofy. May have hit a command I wasn't familiar with, causing the problem, then couldn't get it to go away.

I don't see any indicator on screen about which of the 4 view modes the camera is in when pressing F9. Is there and if not, why not? Thanks,

No, there is no indicator. You just have to recognise it by the movement it does. As to why I've no idea, the developers haven't implemented a visual indicator of what mode you are in unfortunately.
