CASoldier2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) So I've seen a lot of threads about how to do this, but none of them actually did what the title says: Set up a custom FOV for your Numpad Enter key All of those threads said that you have to open some sort of file, edit values, etc. Well I have a simple in-game way of doing this! :D I don't know if a tutorial thread like this already exists. If it does - excuse me :music_whistling: I just want to share this easy to set up finding. Let's get to it! First of all you have to disable the use of default views by doing this: 1. Go to X:\\DCS World\Config\View 2. Open up View.lua 2. Find the line: UseDefaultSnapViews = true and change it to UseDefaultSnapViews = false .Then save it and all that good stuff.. :) Since we got that set up, now we have to launch our game. Now, when you get in your cockpit do the following: 1. Center your view 2. Zoom in or out to your preferred FOV 3. Press RALT+Num0 to save your view INCLUDING your FOV Now you're good to go! Try to zoom in or out and then press Numpad Enter. You will notice that it switched back to your FOV that you just set. :) Warning: If you have TrackIR, you will probably need to shut it off while doing this, otherwise it won't save the view the way you want it! If you need official in-depth info on this go here Hopefully this was helpful to some. Let me know if this was usefull ;) -CAS Edited August 27, 2014 by CASoldier2014 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwoller Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 OK Thanks for that , but it didn't work. It seemed to work perfectly with the Track IR disabled but as soon as I restarted TIR it did the same thing again. Soooo, it has to be TIR related and just with SU27! This is starting to annoy me now, ...Guy Helicopters!! Never trust anything that screws itself into the air! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=Pedro= Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 It's probably not going to work in multiplayer cause mp server utilize it's own View.lua file ;) Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X | i7 9700K@5.0GHz | Asus TUF OC RTX 4090 | 32GB DDR4@3200MHz | HP Reverb G2 | TrackIR 5 | TM Warthog HOTAS | MFG Croswinds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTFDarkEagle Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 It's probably not going to work in multiplayer cause mp server utilize it's own View.lua file ;) That depends on the mission running. In the mission file there might be a "config" folder. It should not be there on server side! If it is, all the files therein will be overwritten to the client side. The fix for that is very easy. Open the .miz file in winrar and simply delete the config folder. This way, no matter how the client has his views setup, it will not be overwritten. The .miz file should only have the relevant files in it for the mission.

CASoldier2014 Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 No, it definitely works on multiplayer and it definitely works with TIR. You're doing something wrong in this case.
