Celestiale Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Hey, pretty simple i just want to limit my Zoomed-Out Fov to a certain Limit, because i wanna get rid of this "Fisheye-look" right now when Fully zoomed out. It seems around 140°, i would like to limit it somewhere around 90°. Fiddled around with the Zoom axis, bud didn't work. Can someone tell me how to do that? Thanks, Celestiale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuSi_6 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 you can edit this for each aircraft individually. Go to DCS Main folder, search for views.lua and you find a bunch of files. In each file you find a max FOV line. BTW, 90° is far from optimal, 110 to 120 is perfect with a very tiny nice fisheye effect at the screen boarder. If you have healthy two eyes, you have a FOV of more than 180°...this translates good to 120° on a 2D Monitor OR http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=96116&highlight=correct+head+neck cheers 1 :pilotfly: Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pedals, Oculus Rift :joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Rider Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 the sim was designed for a certain FoV and as soon as the user attempts to change from that, the distortions will introduce City Hall is easier to fight, than a boys' club - an observation :P "Resort is had to ridicule only when reason is against us." - Jefferson "Give a group of potheads a bunch of weed and nothing to smoke out of, and they'll quickly turn into engineers... its simply amazing."

Celestiale Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Thx Lusi, i'll try that. the sim was designed for a certain FoV and as soon as the user attempts to change from that, the distortions will introduce First of all the distortions are already there, the fisheye look in zoomed-out mode is horrible. Second of all, to my knowledge you can't change the FoV without changing the Zoom. They are bound one to another. But i surely want to limit both the FoV and the zoom (out). So i just wanna cut off the last ~25% of zoom out. I'll try Lusi's way Edit: Thx Lusi, working perfectly. Fidelled around a little bit and using 112 now, for my screen the perfect balance bitween prettyness and usefulness. :thumbup: Edited January 28, 2015 by Celestiale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little_D Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hi gents, i am new to DCS and need some help to change the FoV for the FW-190D-9. i think i am to stupid to understand how to do it. so could you please give me an extra instructions for idiots so i get lost from this stupid fish-eye-look sorry for my bad english regards Little_D 1./JG2_Little_D Staffelkapitän 1./Jagdgeschwader 2 "Richthofen" "Go for the leader, if you can.

And the fish-eye effect is something you'll have in all games, it's not specific to DCS. The only way to get rid of the fish-eye is to have several viewpoints, you can do that in DCS to use with 3-screens setup, they are the monitor.lua files labeled "3 camera". Instead of using a wide FOV on a single viewpoint it will use 3 viewpoint each with a moderate FOV. Only problem here is that the resource usage is much higher as the scene is rendered 3 times (one per viewpoint). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider1 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Try this: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\View Inside is a file called server.lua. open it up in Notepad++ and change this line: LINE 21 CameraViewAngleLimits = {20.000000,110.000000}, 110 is what I use. You can adjust to your liking.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaelu Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I add a bit of explanations and I attach a JSGME mod to be edited by each one as they please. Don't be afraid to look inside the mod as it is very simple... just the folder structure and the lua files. Always use Notepad++ to edit them and very important delete the folders of modules you don't have!!! to install extract the folder from the archive (drag and drop) to your _Mods folder where JSGME is working!!!

theGozr Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Move the pilot head to it's legitimate position All wrong in DCS and try to limit to 90, 95 or 100 MAX more than this and it will be wrong. 110 is too much Fly it like you stole it..

Little_D Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hi gents, after i now have the right FoV settet, i want to know, how are the coordiants that center the head in the middle of the cockpit, so the gunsighn is offset, as it schoult be. i know i can make it with Track IR, but this is the better way i think. regards Little_D 1./JG2_Little_D Staffelkapitän 1./Jagdgeschwader 2 "Richthofen" "Go for the leader, if you can.

Rider1 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Thanks Gozr for for the tip. Changed mine to 95 and it looks and feels much better to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratkandy Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Do the settings in views.lua have any effect if you're using an axis to control zoom? Is there any way to get the current FOV number displayed on screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srky Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I made it without touching the configuration files, since I use zoom on the axis -antenna elevation wheel on the cougar throttle to be exact. I have just edited the axis in DCS control menu for given planes. Works like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Hrothgar Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Don't think so. The game was made to be rendered at a certain FoV. If you expand beyond the intended FoV, you will get the fisheye effect. It is present in all games that allow heavy zooming out. Standard FoV for most FPS's is 75 degrees as that displays best on a standard single monitor. DCS seems to use a similar setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixxxer46 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I would'nt mind if they implemented a FOV slider (with numbers) in the options. Should be standard in DCS 2.0. Edited all my planes to 10 - 90, and now use zoom out instead of zoom normal. Different planes had different FOV as standard it seems. Was bugging me, especially in the A-10C. Thanks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestiale Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Is it possible that this is no longer/not possible in DCS1.5?? Tried to edit my View.lua files, tried to edit my server.lua file, both in the In-Game Folder, and in the save-game folder. Nothing happens. The game doesn't recognize anymore, that i am changing stuff. Highly annoying. Can't enjoy the new update at all, because this 140° fish-eye view with TrackIR is just a pain. Does anyone have a workaround for this for 1.5? Pretty disappointed right now. Also that there is still no feature in-game, where you can set your maxed-zoom-out FoV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theGozr Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I want my head to be in the Cockpit not on the rear seat so 95 is perfect for me atm. Fly it like you stole it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
