erjdriver Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I'm using trackir - when I move in closer to the hud... the hud gets bigger but the display itself stays the same. Anyway to make the hud display bigger when moving in. Thanks.
King_Hrothgar Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Use zoom/FoV. The HUD is focused at infinity, and thus no matter how close or far you are from it, everything stays the same size since infinity - 10cm = infinity still.
Echo38 Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 In the sim (as well as in real life) zooming in with the camera isn't the same as moving the camera forward. They're two distinct actions with separate effects, even if they both (usually) make things "look bigger." Zooming doesn't alter perspective, but it does alter FoV. Moving the head/camera forward doesn't alter FoV, but it does alter perspective. If you zoom in, the HUD will appear bigger, because you've sorta put a virtual magnifying glass in front of your face. If you move your (virtual) head forward, however, the HUD will appear to be the same size, because it is collimated.
