Zoom center bug

[Joni]

Hi guys,

 

Im using an axis for the zoom and I noticed that when in center it gets to a position closer than when pressing "Enter". In fact pressing enter will zoom out a little bit.

 

Is this a bug that appeared with last wednesday update? This is the first time I use an axis for the zoom.

 

All axis behave the same, even the stick.

Hi guys, anyone here to help?

If I've understood correctly, DCS scales the zoom depending on your screen resolution, meaning it won't zoom out the same amount on every screen. With that in mind, I don't think what you are finding is a bug, but an intended feature.

 

I personally would find it better if we had a FOV-slider to set our starting FOV in stead of the current zoom-out-on-game-start -system.

Hey Mike. Regardless of the resolution feature, I was referring to the fact that pressing "Zoom Normal" key does not put the zoom in the same position as the center of an axis. They should be the same.

Should they? I don't think it is pointed anywhere that the "normal" FOV should be the center of the axis.

Those I think are actually 4 different things/keys, Numpad-5 and Numpad-Enter. 5 centers ( axis ) and ENTER resets zoom ( Numpad / and * to move in/out ).

 

??

Yes thats correct. Hence, the reset zoom should be the same as the center of an axis. It is not pointed anywhere, its just common sense, at least to me.

 

:(

doesnt anyone find this weird?

now that you mention it, the post is a bit odd... :p

 

Please note, not everyone uses keyboards, so it is very subjective.

 

Center view and zoom are two different things.

Huh? Never said anything about center view

Have you tried tunning the axis?

 

I usually find that setting it as a "slider" with a curve of -18 gives a center position roughly equivalent to the default 5 key; but you can play with it to find a more convenient setting that suits you.

Thanks derodo, but the issue was about the default enter key, not the 5. I dont see how the curve will change the center of an axis.
