How to zoom out the cockpit a little in the Mig21

[Need-To-Know]

I sit a little too close to the front panel on the Mig21. It was the same in the KA50 but I fixed that in a config file in the past (forgotten where and can not find it in a search). Patch reset my FOV.

 

I just want to widen my field of view. So I can see more of the cockpit top to bottom. See system specs below.

Three across the top (5760 x 1080) and one lower (1600x900) Track IR

 

I understand I can setup "Zoom" with buttons or axis - that is not what I am referring to. I mean field of view - I think.

 

Also my ratios in the DCS options are fine. The solution is in a config parameter..like changing a 30 to a 60 or something like that...but which one?

Worked in the past but not sure how to anymore.:helpsmilie:

 

Thanks guys!

Ok I found the post that instructs me how to fix the KA50 and A10 views but the Mig21 is not located in that file.

Ha - ok I found it!

 

D:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\MiG-21BIS\Entry/03_Views.lua

 

Opened in Notepad++

 

Line 10: changed 105.0 to 140.0

 

Line now reads:

 

CameraViewAngleLimits = { 30.0, 140.0 },

Awesome now I am not zoomed into the HUD and can see the whole pit.

 

Thanks Need - I would rep you but you can't rep yourself. :smartass:

Cobra answered that one yesterday afternoon.......sorry......

 

Pop over and give him a rep. With all the recent stress he's been through he will probably appreciate it.

 

I would have rep'd you. I wouldn't have found that file.
