Manifold and tach gauges
-
Hi all,
One struggle I have is viewing the manifold and tach gauges, due to the native aircraft placement outside the default FS cockpit view. True, I can zoom out the view, or arrow down to it- but both either distort the normal sight view of the main panel. I can’t use VR.
Any advice? I wish there was some way to create a mini-hud so to speak, like the outside view has, but I want to fly inside view.
Thanks!

What I do is tilt down just a bit from the default camera and created a saved camera there (Ctrl+Alt+1, or any other number). Then Alt+1 (or whichever index you set) will go to that camera. I mapped a button on my yoke to go to the "next saved camera" to cycle through the few I have saved. It only requires tilting down slightly so it doesn't really affect the view out the window by much

I do something similar to vcapra1, I create several other views, including some that are instrument only, and then just pop in and out of those as needed, even my 'default' view is a saved camera view, not one of the MSFS defaults. I figure in the cockpit, I'd be leaning down or up or to the side as needed to get a good view, like for the OAT, etc.

Have you tried other head tracking options? Makes it much easier to look around the cockpit without the full 'immersion' of VR, which can be disorienting.
I use an EDTracker, and it's a complete game-changer when you're looking around in the sim. You can build one yourself from a kit for under £30: [https://hobbycomponents.com/electronics/440-465-diy-head-tracker-bundle#/240-kit_options-pre_soldered_edtracker_with_enclosure](link url)
