F2 VR view distance question

[nachomaga]

I feel that the external view in the Apache is a bit far away, specially compared with the Huey and the Hind, for example, even with the closest zoom.

Any .lua file that can be edit to get closer view?

Perhaps this topic must be in Wishlist sub forum...

I mean, maybe you already know this, but you can use your mouse wheel to zoom in or out while in external view, even in VR.....

You can also change the zoom FOV with (I think) R CTRL and the normal zoom keys (* and / on the KP) - if memory serves me right. This can give zome very nice close ups.

Zoom isn't really what he's talking about, it's the distance from the aircraft the camera is at. I haven't noticed anything special about it but you can move the camera closer or further out. Think it's right mouse and drag or something like that. Been a while since I messed with that function.

Yes, is the distance from the aircraft the camera is at. And when I talked about zoom, is the mouse wheel zoom, of course. The RCtrl + NumKeys is only for cockpit view position and doesn't work in F2 (at least in VR). The right click mouse drag is not a MSFS thing?

I just checked today and Huey in the closest zoom possible fill almost entire field of view in my Reverb G2, not so the Apache. The RCtrl + F2 view is better and you can get very close, but the sound is not working well.

Anyway, thanks for your awnsers, guys.

Bump this thread just in case someone discovered how to get the camera closer in F2 view in the Apache.

I use sometimes RCtrl+F2 Object free camera view, that let you get closer to the aircraft, but binding is no possible yet.
