Mi8 FOV Slider, why not for all DCS modules

[Gpruitt54]

I love that the Mi8 has a FOV slider. Is there a reason why all DCS aircraft don't have a FOV slider? It is a great feature and saves me from the pain of having to locate and edit .LUA files to change the FOV.

What are you talking about?

There's no "FOV slider" in the Mi-8 axis bindings. Are you talking about zoom?

I'm pretty sure every module has a bindable camera zoom axis.

Not axis settings, but "Special" I think it's called, under Mi-8. Only for the Mi-8 even if it would be useful in all modules.

I don't see any Special category for the Mi-8 Game or Sim. Don't see anything related to what you guys are posting about. Would greatly appreciate an exact category and name when you guys get the chance so I can check it out.

When you go into settings, choose the right most (maybe the one next to it) tab (Special?), not controller settings. Then choose Mi-8 in the left column.

Sorry for my bad memory and hence description, but I'm sure you will find it.

Got it!

 

"Max FOV Adjustment"

Right, it's under the "Special" tab, then select on the Mi-8 on the left side of the screen. You will see a slider called "Max FOV Adjustment".

 

From what I can see, the Mi8 is the only module that has an FOV adjustment in a convenient slider. All the other modules forces users to dive into configuration files as if we were computer programmers. Someone smart made it simple to adjust the commonly sought out adjustment.

 

I am asking why don’t all the modules include a slider for FOV. Based on the number of threads on the subject, Clearly it is needed.
