1. Description
See exactly what your character sees. Look at screenshots or videos for what the mod does. :)
As of 2. 0 the mod no longer has a MCM or ESP. It's now a pure SKSE plugin. There is a text file for configuration in Data/SKSE/Plugins/FirstPersonPlugin.txt
Press Numpad 8 to reload configuration file during playing. You can configure this key in the file as well.
Press Numpad 4 to toggle helmet view. This only makes sense with open face helmets.
2. Requirements
SKSE 1. 6. 16 or higher: http://skse.silverlock.org/
Skyrim latest version
3. Installing
Exctract Data folder over your Skyrim Data folder or use a mod manager to install.
4. Uninstalling
Make sure you are not in IFPV when you save game (so headtracking is reset). Then remove files you added when installing or use a mod manager.
5. Compatibility & issues
Doesn't work properly with 360 degree animations! If you see your character face when running backwards you are using 360 animations.
If nothing happens in game when you switch to first person you must install latest version of SKSE. If you are installing with MO make sure the DLL file ends up in Data/SKSE/Plugins. You may have to manually do this. You can also try starting SKSE loader with administrator privileges.
See comments / posts section for solutions to other problems.

[*]When you are looking ahead then near clip value is not modified at all (default 15). Should remove all mountain flicker or ENB brightness weirdness. However if you look down you may notice the near clip value change at 45 degrees if you have ENB. Best fix is to re-enable ne
