Cockpit FOV for triplehead user ?

[Damocles]

How can I change the FOV in the cockpit ? I'm using a Matrox TH2G and the default view in the cockpit is too close to the instrument panel, even when fully zoomed out. Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Cheers Damocles

you can mouse wheel zoom out if you need to, not sure how to set it permanently..

Well, true that FOV could be a bit larger but it's not too bad IMO. Wheel mouse won't get you anything better I think.

I posted this into another post

 

Here what i did on mine since i have to Zoom out a tight always before to start which was becoming annoying..

Go to snapviews.lua

At the bottom of the page # 9 ( Ka-50 ) 13 is the number for the cockpit..

You can change your as your wishes

Default is :Snap[9][13]["viewAngle"] = 89.777544238285

New is: :Snap[9][13]["viewAngle"] = 98.0 or 100

 

Which make the cockpit view a tight away. perfect ( CRT monitor )

Wide Screen may need different setting

have fun.

Yes all the info is in this thread.

In testing I found this to be the best setting for me:

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iKA_50] = {20.0, 200.0}

Thanks for your help,don't no why that thread wasn't picked up when I did a search. The most usefull info I came across from your help was a link to examples given by Leftside on the WSGF web site. Many thanks :pilotfly:

I have found 200 gives me pretty much what you would normally get on the center monitor and the side monitors give me great peripheral view. Landing are so much easier with that.
