Just reporting back. It DOES work! I still need to do some tests with track replays, but I've included the F-4E in the Server.lua anyways. Thanks again!
Thank you for this instructional video! I have been really interested in making my first DCS cinematic but I could never figure out how to get the interior shots that we see all the time. Now with your video I can actually go and make it!
Such an interesting topic and the way it's presented. Huge thanks for the effort. I hope ED will notice it and include the "pilot body/head" fixes in their pipeline.
I believe the F4 camera view along with the WSDA and QE keys give you unlimited camera placement, using the pgup/pgdwn keys slow the movement down or speed it up. No?
Yes, but you miss out on two major things: - No Snap Views. So you'll have to manually adjust the camera yourself any time you want a different angle. - External models only. Meaning all cockpit elements are static images. No video on MFDs, instrument dials don't move, etc But really, this guide is meant to add to the toolbelt. Not replace it. If the techniques in this helps you get certain shots more easily, then great
@jakesvrfightclubnetwork3718 Check the description of the video for a download link to the Server.lua and SnapViews.lua I used in this video. That should get you started with minimal effort.
Depends on what I'm doing at the time. Usually, if I'm using VR, then I'm using my full setup. Unless I'm recording a bunch of clips for a video, in which case it's a lot easier to do gamepad while in VR.
The context is when in track replays. This won't work since you can't use actions like that when viewing a replay. If you're doing this live, then yeah you can just use "i" for "IHADSS show". The monocle won't be over the pilot's eye anymore, but that's probably the least of your worries if you're looking back at the pilot while actively flying.
When I replay a flight and use the snapviews my head doesn’t move anymore. I use trackIR. Do you know any fixes for this? Edit: turns out I just needed to update my game. Everything works amazing now
the lack of gear or engines when you are inside the cockpit pilot view has to do with performance because realistically you can't see it from the cockpit. the less they add the less heavy it gets, let it be the way it is, if you want a full fidelity view of the plane and pilot you have the F2 external view, perfect, plz dont put ideas on ED minds because surely with the present code it will mess up performance for everyone
If you're only going to do PC gaming, then I'd say the X10. But look into the Flydigi Direwolf 2 as well. I tend to prefer Flydigi products for my own use, and the Direwolf 2 is a cheaper option from Flydigi
I missed something . . I'm trying to make it work for the Hornet . . can't make the snap views work . . I downloaded the files, they snap to different areas of the cockpit and the pilot's body. I've watched the video several times, any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance
@@Tuuvas I pressed RCTRL + Keypad "0" . . it snapped the panel centered, then pressed thru the keyboard and got very close up views of the panel and pilots body.
Just to recap, we found that your DCS installation was referencing your Saved Games/DCS.openbeta folder. Everything started working once you put the .lua files in that folder
There's a lot of steps, but you should be able to look up how to get hand tracking to work on PC if you're using a Meta Quest headset that supports hand tracking. After that, just set VR controllers in DCS to hand track and you should be set
10:24 F-4E also supports this. There is a keybind called selfie mode that turns on the pilots head for camera.
huh neat! I'll check it out and add it to the lua files if it works out. Thanks!
Just reporting back. It DOES work! I still need to do some tests with track replays, but I've included the F-4E in the Server.lua anyways. Thanks again!
And last update, unfortunately selfie mode does NOT replay previous head movements. So unfortunately it's useless for track replay purposes :(
Great video and I really really hope ED will some day give us a true replay tool with rewind, forward etc....

This is amazing, god bless folk like you that make content like this. This is great for content/cinematic creators.
Such an interesting topic and the way it's presented. Huge thanks for the effort.

How could you afford all those cameras!?
Apparently he has a lot of money 😏
Trade secret. And my first born being named Matt has nothing to do with it, I swear
Temu super pack
It's crazy to me that such a pretty game like DCS doesn't have a cinematic mode.
This is GOLD 🏅
I had no idea this was possible...thanks!
Excellent video dude!
This is something that would be on my for you page for sure love you tuuvas keep it up!
Great vid
Thanks, Kali!

@@Tuuvashmm, so I’ll need to change all that scripting in order to use the snap view?

Brilliant 😎 Thank you very much 🫡
Great video, just out of curiosity, do you still use gamepad to play when using VR?

@@Tuuvas Gotcha, thanks Tuuvas
Great stuff. Have implemented your files, works a treat. However, one question; There are 14 snap-views defined how does one access those above 9?
Honestly? I'm not sure on that one. I only know of 1-9 via the numpad and the "Custom Snap View 1 - 9" binds in DCS
@@Tuuvas OK, understood, cheers 😎
Very cool
for the apache the IHADS can be toggled. unless that doesn't work for some reason when trying to do this.

Maybe I should try this🤔🤔

I'd take F4 snap views if they could implement it. That way I'd have 9 for cockpit, and 9 for external shots
should i buy EasySMX X10 or xbox controller for single player gaming on pc? ( 5-10$ more price in my country )
If you're only going to do PC gaming, then I'd say the X10. But look into the Flydigi Direwolf 2 as well. I tend to prefer Flydigi products for my own use, and the Direwolf 2 is a cheaper option from Flydigi

Yes
hello is the 4060 ok for vr in dcs
People have made it work, but other components also matter like the CPU, RAM amount, and storage
@@Tuuvas i got 32 gb ram r5 5600x and 1tb ssd nvme m.2 500gb free
ima get the quest 2 if it will work on more than 30fps
