HUD Only - Slew View
« on: August 26, 2014, 05:21:09 PM »
I'm sure this has been talked about, but please allow me to broach the subject again, since I'm new to BMS.
IS there a way to select HUD only (i.e. 1 or 5), and be able to slew your view using the 'coolie' hat?  I realize you can accomplish 'slewing', by using TrackIR, however, that is not an option for this particular situation.
Thanks for all the help!!

Hi,
I don't remember the default key, but there is one that allows you to have an empty cockpit with only HUD. It is like a black bathtube you are flighing in without HUD frame of glareshield. This was done to avoid 'god like' vision that will allow to look like the floor of your pit were transparent, that is completely unrealistic. And this is very useful for pit builders ;)
You better look in Benchmarksims.org and search for 'empty cockpit'.

Have fun!

Thanks MrWell for the info.  However, I need to be able to press '5', and still have slew with the 'coolie' hat.
Is there a config option or something, that allows this?
Thanks again!!!

Hi Snake

Try SHF-CTL-e
I think that is the general key combi. Otherwise look for "empty cockpit shell" as mrwell suggests. It'll give the "bathtub-view" when using 3D cockpit view (3).

Best regards
ZoomOut;)
