Alex, is there a difference between adjusting the FOV in the SnapViewsDefault.lua file and pressing the Num / key to zoom out? The reason I ask is that if I adjust the SnapViewsDefault.lua file to get the FOV I want, then looking around the cockpit with TrackIR works fine. If I start with the default view and zoom out (similar to what this new zoom out feature is doing) then look around, the cockpit gets this kind of warped effect almost as if my head is still pivoting around the original point it started before the zoom.
In the next DCS title, it would be nice to have an option in the video settings where it displays a picture of the cockpit with an adjustable field of view slider. It would know based on your resolution if you had a 4:3 or 16:9 screen and give you instant feedback as to what your view will look like.
