paulca Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 I was lucky enough to get myself an Acer X34 21:9 monitor. Res is 3440x1440. The game selects the resolution fine and the game works fine, but the FOV doesn't appear to adapt. To explain, the default zoom level has increased so that I see the same horizontal field of view as I did on 16:9. This means that everything feels zoomed in, I have less vertical FOV and I have to move my zoom slider to 50% zoom out of I feel like I have my face in the instrument panel. Is there a quick fix to edit the FOV?
Eddie Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 Just zoom out until your view is as desired and then save it as your default view with R-Alt and Num 0.

paulca Posted April 10, 2016 Author Posted April 10, 2016 Just zoom out until your view is as desired and then save it as your default view with R-Alt and Num 0. Ah, I didn't know that key combination. Thanks, I'll try it.
SuperKungFu Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 yea I wish there was better 3 monitor support. basically the immersion is better but the view is worse since the vertical view is cut off see my thread here http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=155678 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
paulca Posted April 11, 2016 Author Posted April 11, 2016 Well the R-Alt Num 0 doesn't work for me as I have zoom on an Axis. As soon as I hit R-Alt Num 0 the view snaps to centre (like hitting num 5), but the zoom stays where it is with regards to the zoom control. ie. no change the zoom axis is still master. I'm not entirely sure that zoom == fov. I have never studied photography much but I seem to recall they are different things. So it looks like I will either have to offset the zoom axis or edit the LUA files.
Eddie Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 You'll need to hit num enter to reset the fov after you've used the zoom function. No other way todo it currently in DCS. It an irritating inconvienience but it does the job.
Akki Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 I have a 21:9 monitor and no problem with FOV with any module, when you enter a mission hit Numpad / or * to cancel the fov adjustment DCS does. You can edit the default FOV on lua file to have one different per aircraft if you want.

paulca Posted April 11, 2016 Author Posted April 11, 2016 The problem is the zoom axis is absolute and not relative to the default FOV. I have the zoom axis assigned to the "Throttle friction" slider on the warthog throttle. No matter what I do with these suggestions center position is always the same... too zoomed in for 21:9. I can reset the default field of view with RAlt+Num0 and when I hit "Num Enter" it resets to that point, but as soon as I move the zoom axis back to the center detent it's back to where I started. What I need is a way to forcibly say that "0 zoom is this FOV" so that "Center" on the zoom axis becomes that new FOV. Now I can see an issue where full zoom out would increase even further, but I'd happily accept the zoom out maxing out before the end of the slider. Oh! Ah! Ah ha! Can I not just adjust the zoom axis center and curves?
paulca Posted April 11, 2016 Author Posted April 11, 2016 Actually not sure I can change the center point of the axis :(
Eddie Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 I don't think you can no, I never found a way at least.
paulca Posted April 11, 2016 Author Posted April 11, 2016 I suppose it's not such a big deal, I just have to move the zoom slider back beyond center, it's just that the center detent is a good "reference zoom", if you know what I mean.
Eddie Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Indeed. I just got into the habit of hitting mum enter after I've used zoom, but as I don't use it often it's not that big of a deal. You could perhaps map num enter to your stick/throttle.
flyco Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 You can adjust the centre detent of the throttle friction slide, by adjusting the axis in the control setting. Make the control a Slider and adjust the Curvature - it takes a bit of trial and error and varies the zoom rate above and below the neutral point, but I have not found this a great problem.

Click AXIS TUNE, then click Slider and set Curvature to something that works. -10 is what I use for most aircraft.

slowhand Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 You can try this and like they said use the zoom view as a slider and set curvature no more then -26 or so:thumbup: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=96116 but read this and ck out the change in the view:thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] SMOKE'M:smoke: IF YA GOT'M!:gun_rifle: H2o Cooler I7 9700k GA 390x MB Win 10 pro Evga RTX 2070 8Gig DD5 32 Gig Corsair Vengence, 2T SSD.

dotChuckles Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) Could you not change the max and minimum FoV in the views lua for the airframe? So you want your default to be 60 deg, define a min of 20 and max 100. 60 being in the middle of those two limits, which would then map to the centre detent of the slider?

Chrinik Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Oh! Ah! Ah ha! Can I not just adjust the zoom axis center and curves? Yes, you can... And I was just about to suggest that.
