Cockpit view

VRMan · Jan 21, 2015

Is there anyway to make the default view the same as when you hit the [Lshift] key? I know that is defined as the UI focus mode, but I'd really like that as my normal view. I've got the field of view already set to the max, but it isn't enough.
Is there a way to change the settings in some kind of ini file somewhere?

Thanks!!

Hmm. Guess not! (or my post fell off the front page no one even saw it!

If it is possible to set ui focus to toggle then you could switch it on and leave it there. Don't know how that would affect other functions tho.
There is a way to set the view wider than the slider allows: search the forums for threads on wide views, tipple monitors and editing the .ini file.
Sorry i don't remember the specifics, but it's out there somewhere!

Seen it, but there is no way as far as I know. However they did demo Elite being played with the Oculus Rift at some expo. I would assume with the Oculus on you would basically have a 360 degree view. Whether this is the left, right, and rear window views of the original Elite, or you find yourself looking at the focus menus I don't know.

Around 63 is the UI focus pull back

Mine is set to 70 and UI focus pulls it back even more.

Mine is already set at 60. So I guess what I'm looking for isn't available yet. Just seems like my head, in game, is too far forward. I did a search, and I see they haven't really done anything with multi-monitor support yet, so I'll just have to keep an eye out.

Thanks guys!
