Hi,
first of all, I'm new to DCS and to this forum, so mods please move this topic to the right subforum if I'm completely wrong here.
The issue I'm having is generic, but for me it seems to be much worse in P-51 than in e.g. FW 190 D-9 or in some of the jets I've tried out of the FC3.
I have 3 monitor setup. nVidia surround view 5880 x 1080 (bezel corrected) and the vertical field of view is very small in this setup.
If I play only with a single monitor, I can see much more of the surrounding sky.
Below are 3 images.
-my 5880 x 1080 view. This is fully zoomed out, head/camera position as back in the cockpit as possible. Even with TrackIr I'm having real trouble maintaining situational awarness through this letterbox view. Pretty much impossible to dog fight.
- 1920 x1080 normal view zoomed out.
- 1920 x1080 head as back as possible in the cockpit view zoomed out.
These views make it much easier to spot and track targets and maintain situational awarness.
Now, are there any settings that can affect this?
Is there any way for me to change the camera FOV?
I would ofcourse very much prefer to use my 3 monitor surround view, but no way I'm taking the P-51 to the hostile skyes if I have to steer it through this letterbox view.
Funny enough, the FW 190 D-9 still has the issue, but not quite as bad as in the P-51.
Cheers,
