I notice in the training that there's a view to just show the ABRIS display filling up your screen, but I've not been able to find it. Those snap views don't stay (just snap in and out), so the one with the Shkval and ABRIS is barely useful.
It was obvious in EECH what the keys were, they were called "Left MFD" or "Right MFD" or whatever, but I'm stumped on this one. My TrackIR just doesn't let me zoom in enough for the ABRIS or Shkval, or to read most of the switches for that matter!

Hmm, good question. Isn't there a save view button that might forfil this purpose?

KP0 plus KP2 will give you a close up view of the Shkval ABRIS. I a button on my CH Pro Throttle for just that. It makes it a lot easier to read the ABRIS.

Jedi, if you have a function on your HOTAS that allows for mouse wheel zoom like the X-52 does, you can use it to zoom into ABRIS or any other part of the Ka-50 cockpit. You first have to disable the "Clickable Pit" by hitting "Alt+C" and then the mouse wheel zoom will work with the Track IR in order to enlarge parts of the cockpit to include the HUD symbology. I map Alt+C to my HOTAS so I can enlarge the cockpit views or use the interactive buttons/switches as necessary.


The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

I mapped zoom in/zoom out to controller buttons which works well when combined with TrackIR's
capabilities. I just look at the specific panel or mfd and quickly zoom in for a better look, then
zoom out for a more expansive FOV.

It seems to keep my SA up while allowing for the necessary micro-management that makes BS so endearing.

Or, you can do what I did.

I'll try the zoom thing and also the KP0/2 thing and see which works best.

More than one monitor violates the laws of space/time on my desktop.

I went the same way as you Jedi. Although I do have a second LCD, after I found out i could just use snapview2 to get full screen ABRIS/SHKVAL on my 22" wide i abandoned the multi monitor, and just mapped snapview2 to my x52pro slider. If your properly trimed your can go heads down any time for targeting, in hover, route mode, or just coasting, its works great smile

ps- snapview2 will stay if you divide your slider into two bands 70/30 and use the 30 as snapview macro.

Left Window Key plus KP2 gives ABRIS only. I'd guess Left Win pplus KP1 gives Shkval only (but I have not tried that yet - English keyboard which may differ from US etc).

I adjusted the cockpit camera angles. Moved right (num6-rctrl-rshift) etc. to center view on ABRIS, then I used "save cockpit angle" (num0-ralt) and then mapped this cockpit view to toggle on my X52 HOTAS. Works great.

Two questions:

1) Can we save multiple "save cockpit angles"?
2) On the ABRIS I see once in a while "CTD Limit" what is this? I dont see any mention of this in manual.

Great setup up Lucky. Mind detailing how you went about it? I tried changing the monitor setting in-game but it just squeezes things onto one monitor.

I couldn't have done it without the help of Paradaz. He gets all the credit. But, here's the post where it all happened.
