Zooming out by changing the view.lua

Hello,

I am running 3 screens with a TH2G. I remember changing a setting in BlackShark to increase the zoom out value to increase the FOV. I can't remember how I did that.

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to do this for the P51?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Scooter

I think it's ./Config/View/View.lua.

There will be lines of Lua about FOV angle limits. You want to edit those.

I don't have a copy of this file on me here. So if you upload ./Config/View/View.lua, I will be able to help you out a lot easier.

If you look at lines 110-120 there is not a slot for the P51.

I have no idea...

View.lua

All you need to know is in this thread:Triple-head/Multi-Monitor GUI and NVG Fix

If you look at lines 110-120 there is not a slot for the P51.

You are right!

Plane index 12=[P-51D] is gone in 1.1.2.1 ....

1. Try Changing the values of the SU_27 as it seems to be the default value if nothing is specified:

function validate(tbl,itype)

local default = Su_27

if itype > 150 then --LastPlaneType

default = KA_50

end

return tbl[itype] or tbl[default]

end

Or maybe the Ka_50 ...

or

2. just add after line

#23

[P_51D] = 12,

#121 (now #122)

CameraViewAngleLimits[P_51D] = {20.0, 120.0} -- edit this to your values!

#143 (now 145)

CameraAngleRestriction[P_51D] = {0,90,0.5}

I will be able to test it myself in two hours - I installed the patch yesterday and didn't played much around with it. - so make a backup before you edit!

Forget what I wrote above and use the file attached - this is a vanilla 1.1.2.1 view.lua

It has the P-51D in line #135 inside . Change it to your liking.

I'm really puzzled why you don't have this entry in the file you posted. - is your file is a copy before the P-51D is installed to DCS:World?

View.lua

Good to go! Thanks!
