Pilot Camera in VR

[DanyL]

hello!

 

using quest 3, the camera default position for the pilot in VR in tilted down almost looking directly at PFD.   i've tried to change initialPbh camera.cfg but it doesn't have effect in VR.

it is the only aircraft I have with camera tilted down, it is not my quest config.

InitialPbh = -11.86671,0,0
;  default value -14.86671,0,0

 

Thanks

On the top bar select camera than pilot and again pilot

It look like the default View in VR in IFR camera.

So, for now, I just press shift-F10 to go to VFR view and I can now see horizontally.   Shift-F11 to switch back so the eyes look downward the instruments.

DEVS : I suggest to default view to horizontal when entering VR

I noticed the camera gets stuck if you change the angle in 2D.  I had to toggle back to 2D, center the view, and toggle back to VR.

What is important to set the default VR point is a camera called "PilotVR". The good news is that ini hasn't set it in their configuration and that makes it easy to define it without the need to manipulate original files. You find attached or in code a file that solves your issue.

Put it in the following location(s):

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimObjects\Airplanes\inibuilds-aircraft-a350-900\
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimObjects\Airplanes\inibuilds-aircraft-a350-900\

I need to correct the paths for MS2024:

For the -900 this is perfect, thank you, but for the -1000 this puts me into the gally, could you make the same file for the -1000 also?
