Cockpit zoom Out

[Trubshaw]

Does anybody know how to zoom out further than the default?

 

Yes I have tried the numpad snap view zoom....not far enough back.

 

For the Mig 21 you need to edit a lua file. Does anybody know where the value for the zoom limit is on the L 39?

 

Cheers

I can zoom in my L-39C cockpit in and out with Numpad / and Numpad * keys.

I have not edited any files.

Thanks Akki. I have tried that but it simply will not zoom out far enough.

 

I have three monitors and I want the cockpit to fill the middle monitor with the other two showing peripheral vision.

 

Other modules have .lua scripts that can be edited in order to limit /extend zoom. I simply cannot find the correct file for this pit.

Trub you should be able to adjust the default FOV in the lua

 

go to DCS World\Mods\aircraft\L-39C\Views.lua ( make a backup just incase and have a play around with it, use notepad++)

 

I will have a go later, and try and catch you on TS or FB :)

Ok and thanks to BIGNEWY. Sorted it without any fps change.

 

Changed line 3 "CameraViewAngleLimits = {20.000000,140.000000}" from 140 to 190

 

Now I can see all critical instruments and the hud in the same view.

excellent mate, catch you on TS soon

If you use JOY_SLIDER2 on the TM Warthog throttle, you can just go to AXIS TUNE, set it as a slider, then move the Curvature in/out to suit for the mid point position. I usually go -10 on most aircraft. L-39 setup attached.

local playerSnapViews = {
		[13] = head_pos_default({
					viewAngle = 90.000000,
		}),--default view
}

DCS World\Mods\aircraft\L-39C\Views.lua

I finally figured it out!

Using TrackIR
Assign device rotary to Zoom Axis and specify slider.

Correction.

The above addition to Views.lua in L-39 seems to remove the MAX FOV limitation for now, but it is difficult to set it the way you want.

If I export SnapViews.lua to Saved Games\DCS\Config\View with RAlt+num0 and change viewAngle and vAngle in [13](default view) of L-39C/ZA, those settings seem to live.

It is a bit complicated.
