Customisation
You can customise the predefined position of any snap view, and of the "default" view. Customised view positions will be permanently saved in the game's configuration files.
By default, in DCS A-10C, DCS Black Shark 2 and DCS World, customisation of snap views is disabled. To enable it you must alter one line in one of the LUA files, as follows:
In the DCS World, DCS A-10C or DCS Black Shark 2 installation folder, then folder config, then folder view, find file View.lua
Look for the line (about 50 lines down):
UseDefaultSnapViews = true
and change it to
UseDefaultSnapViews = false
Next time you start the simulation, snap-view customisation will be possible.
Note that as of v1.2.3, DCS World puts a copy of View.lua in your Saved Games\DCS\Config\View folder - however, you must still make the above change in the View.lua in the DCS World installation folder, not the one in Saved Games!
Customisation Procedure
The keystroke RAlt+Num0 (default binding) will save the current view position against the last-selected Snap View, or against the "default" view if that was the last selected. The simplest procedure for customising a Snap View is as follows:
Customising a Snap View
Set your current view up as you want it saved.
Press LWin+NumN - NumN being whichever numeric keypad key you intend customising. Your view will briefly snap to whatever the current snap view setting is for that key, then return to your previous view.
Press RAlt+Num0 - The snap view should now be saved.
Test it by changing your view, then holding down LWin+NumX - you should see your customised snap view!
Customising the Default View
Press Num5 to reset your view to the current default.
Adjust your view to what you want as the new default but do not use any snap view keys in the process!. If you have TrackIR, you will probably need to shut it off while doing this, otherwise it won't save the view the way you want it!
Press RALT+Num0 - your new default view should now be saved.
Test it by changing your view, then pressing Num5 - your view should return to your customised default!
Restoring the Factory Defaults
To discard your customisations and return to the factory default snap views (and "default" view), you need to delete the SnapViews.lua file from the config\view folder (i.e. the same folder where you edited the View.lua file earlier). After deleting SnapViews.lua, make a copy of SnapViewsDefault.lua (also found in the same folder), and rename that copy SnapViews.lua.
