Cavemanhead Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Does anyone have this issue: Using TIR, I can only zoom in a certain amount before I run into an invisible "brick wall". This make it very hard to read certain instruments and panels, etc... Other planes have a much more well defined view up close such that one can move their virtual eyeball within 1-2" of the gauge... But with the F-5E cockpit, the ability to get close to the gauge or panel is limited to ~9" (guess from memory, but I do recall that it was impossible to read the caution panel). Furthermore, I just noticed that in Chuck's guide, it appears he has some "closeup" views... Closer that what the TIR allowed... I have no issue with TIR in any of the other cockpits... This is all vary curious... Any thoughts/ideas on this?
Sverre Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Maybe its the same problem the Mirage 2000 had before. You could try this http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2616849&postcount=1 No idea if it will work for the F-5 as well.
Sverre Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Ok, I did some testing by using some of the values from the Mirage's view.lua to change the leaning forward restriction. Before: After: Is this better? Posted the view lua below. (place in DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F-5E)Views.lua
ricktoberfest Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 What button are you using cause I don't have any problems getting right up to the gauges with "slow zoom in" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
David OC Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) What button are you using cause I don't have any problems getting right up to the gauges with "slow zoom in" I belive Cavemanhead means once you set your FOV I.E zoom back a little for a better view inside and outside of the F5, you can no longer get very close to the instruments by just leaning forward with TIR. I did notice this too needing to zoom back in a little.

Cavemanhead Posted August 3, 2016 Author Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Ok... I generally go into the cockpit and press "enter" to move the eyepoint to a non fisheye sort of view which is where I like to fly from. The issue is that when I lean forward in TIR, I'm quickly restricted by how much the view will change even if I lean in very close... I can't get very close in... It appears to be a restricted view like to simulate I was strapped in or something... But, I don't care about that... I need to be able to zoom right in with TIR to examine gauges, etc... It appears the view file may help... Edited August 3, 2016 by Cavemanhead

I have the same problem. Leaning forward to get a closer look at the instruments seems to be VERY limited, as if there were an invisible wall stopping you from going more forward. Hope this can be solved somehow!
ricktoberfest Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 F-5E 2.03 Cockpit Zoom There is an invisible wall- your straps holding you to the seat. It's not a bug it's on purpose. That's why we have a zoom button Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cavemanhead Posted December 4, 2016 Author Posted December 4, 2016 the reason we have the zoom feature is so that we can move our head forward and see things more clearly... in real life the naked eye has much better depth but the resolution of screens cannot simulate reality to accommodate that we have be able to zoom.:) Agreed. I love the idea of as much realism as possible with the restriction due to straps as long as I could see "realistically" on gauges that were as big as real life... I'll need to wait for a 40+ monitor for that... In the meantime, thanks all for the feedback and thanks for the LUA file!
