Extra zoom out/fov possible?

[ron533]

Hi,

I have 3 monitors in surround, and I need some extra zoom out option the have a wider field of view.

In the past, editing the sever.lua file inside the config folder worked fine, (using Peter P. files)

But a few months and patches ago it stopped working.

 

Is there an alternative way to have a wider fov in fc3 planes, and in general in DCS?

Thsnks!

Hi Ron. I used to have the same issue. You have to go to saved games>DCS>Config>View>Server.lua

You need to modify the camera view angle limits for each of the birds you fly, creating ad hoc specific lines as below (for example for my Spitfire)

 

 

ViewSettings["SpitfireLFMkIX"] = {

Cockpit = {

[1] = {-- player slot 1

CameraViewAngleLimits = {20.0, 148.0},

CockpitLocalPoint = {-1.564, 0.567, 0.0},

CameraAngleRestriction = {false, 90.0, 0.5},

CameraAngleLimits = {200.0, -90.0, 90.0},

EyePoint = {0.050, 0.100, 0.000},

ShoulderSize = 0.250,

Allow360rotation = false,

limits_6DOF = {x = {-0.071, 0.318}, y = {-0.375, 0.077}, z = {-0.155, 0.155}, roll = 90.0},

},

}, -- Cockpit

Chase = {

LocalPoint = {0.0, -0.191, -1.146},

AnglesDefault = {0.0, 0.0},

}, -- Chase

Arcade = {

LocalPoint = {-21.500000,5.618000,0.000000},

AnglesDefault = {0.000000,-8.000000},

}, -- Arcade

}

 

 

The problem is that it is not working for the last updates. Y opened a ticket and the anwer was to ask in the forums, but could not find an answer. If you are luckier than me, mate, please let me know.

 

 

Cheers
