Change FOV KA-50 for 3 screens in Open Alpha

[kimkiller]

Anyone know how to change the FOV for KA-50 in Open Alpha?

I use triple screen and whatever I do I only get the same FOV, think it is 60 degrees or so regardless of the resolution choosen in the Settings.

 

Edit: Using the option 3 screens in Settings gives wider FOV but ****s up the sync between the screens ie like 3 cameras in 1.2.

And using my graphics card surround option ****s up my other gaming titles.

Yes I know I'm like a spoiled child but KA-50 in 1.2 worked flawlessly with changing the FOV and I want it to work for NTTR as well.

Server.lua file found in the DCS/config/view folder. Find the KA-50 line, under CameraViewAngleLimits, change the bigger number to a bigger number (120-140 is the default IIRC, I like 160)

Unfortunately changing Server.lua in DCS/config/view doesn´t give me a wider FOV in 1Cam-profile...any other ideas?

You do have a zoom axis bound? I use a single screen profile and it works for me..

 

I also changed this line to cover all my bases, perhaps you need to do it as well.

 

function default_fighter_player(t)

local res = {

CameraViewAngleLimits = {20.000000,160.000000},

No zoom axis bound. I am using 1cam profile with a 3 monitor setup.

3cam cost too much FPS.

I changed CameraViewAngleLimits in server.lua and SnapViewDefault.lua.

But there´s no way to get a wider FOV. It is much too narrow now.

You need to bind a zoom axis or at least use the assigned keys to zoom out (increase FOV).

Thank you for that hint!

I tested with KA-50 and with Hawk and now it is possible to zoom out again with the new assigend axis and also with numblock keys.
