Default View when spawn in zooms in and out?..

[Snacko]

I have had this problem for a long time and was not sure if it was just the way the game works, or if I have a problem. I have to manually adjust the zoom every time that I spawn into some aircraft!! It won't use the default view that I have saved! :helpsmilie:

 

So I have been trying to fix my default view the past few weeks. I've edited the Server.lua, Snapviews.lua, and Views.lua in my Saved Games user folder to no avail. I can change and save Snapviews while in the game, and see the Snapview.lua file changes, but when I spawn into the game the view zooms slowly out. :( (Is this normal???) Then, for different aircraft, it will jump all zoomed in, or stay zoomed out further than I had saved as the default Snapview.

 

I have a triple screen setup and I want my default FOV to be 135. When I Save my ingame view with RAlt + Num0 it does save 135 for the viewAngle in Snapview [13], but when I start the game next time it does not use that. It always slowly zooms out, then changes to something else.

 

Some Aircraft won't use the Num* or Num/ to adjust the view, which keeps the FOV unchanged and the HUD size stays relative when zoomed and keeps it viewable. Without these keys the HUD gets distorted.

 

A10a, Ka50, and Huey do this same zoom ALL THE WAY OUT thing.. This is NOT the NORMAL spawn animation zoom out...

 

This starts out at FOV 135 which is what I have saved, but when started it slowly zooms way out. I have tried setting the Max FOV Limit to 135 as well, and that actually does fix this problem. But the the A10c default view cannot zoom out.. I think the game is slowly zooming out to the Max FOV which is 160!! But WHY?

 

 

A10c: This slowly zooms out, THEN JUMPs all the way ZOOMED IN!! ARG!! :doh:

 

 

I have checked to see if I have any rotaries or sliders on my hotas assigned to some FOV or Zoom Control, but I don't. I have also changed the TrackIR-Z to the Zoom View and also the Longitudinal Camera View, and that did not fix it.

its kind of a animated effect that happens when you jump into a cockpit, it can get annoying. But ED seems to love it, so we are kind of stuck with it, though i think someone made a mod to remove it.

But it should stop at your Default Snapview, right? And stay there, or do you have to customize it every time you fly?

Really!?

 

Please link, this is the worst thing about this game for sure.

Still testing and I noticed that in the A10c Axis Options that TRACKIR_Z is 'always' assigned to Zoom View. Every time I change it to the 'Absolute Longitudinal Shift Camera View' and save my changes,... when I come back TRACKIR_Z is again assigned to Zoom View. I cannot change it. What the heck is going on here... :mad:

Really? This is the worst thing in the game? A little camera annoyance that takes a few seconds? I guess the game doesnt have any real problems after all if this is the worst thing.

Yes, actually, this ranks over all the other problems this game has as it is today, and I don't see why it shouldn't.

 

Over all the game works fine, there are a few bugs that I seldom notice when I am flying but this thing happens every mission every time you spawn in, it is actually with out a doubt the worst thing about the game.

 

You are free to have your own pet pewee about this game but this is mine, and it's not a "few seconds of annoyance", it's a few seconds of annoyance for every time you spawn in, and a complete and utter lack of developer recognition on the forums about it since we have had it since beta.

I also do not understand, just after I spawn FOV is set to something more zoomed out then default.

What I do, I move my zoom axis slider just a notch near center how it remained before launch, and it snatches back to center where deadzone is.

[Snacko]

Do you have a triple screen setup? I wonder if that is the cause?

 

The A10a, Ka50, and Huey spawn zoom is correct if I set the Max FOV Limit to what I want. Which for me is 135. But this does not fix the A10c. It's problem is zooming all the way in when I spawn.

 

I'm using PeterP's Reworked Cockpit Views with Neck Mod and if I set this line to 135:

local GlobalCameraViewAngleLimits = {50,135} -- {min horiz. FOV in °, max horiz. FOV in °} <- aka Zoom

 

Then these aircraft don't zoom out ALL the way. They stop at 135 which is where I want it. But this DOES not work for the A10c...
