FOV 84.4 in all Aircraft at Start

[VampireNZ]

Not sure what I have done, but when I get into any cockpit for the first time in any aircraft, the FOV is set to 84.4 and I need to press NumPad Enter to Zoom normal to the value of 65 I have set in SnapViews.lua file from the \saved games\dcs\config\view folder. I don't have anything mapped to Zoom axis on any of these aircraft.

Never encountered this before but no doubt I have touched something I shouldn't have - help would be appreciated. It's not the end of the world but seems strange I have to reset FOV every aircraft start now.

I could be wrong, but whatever you have done, that is the way mine has operated for quite a while. Maybe as long as I remember. I've always had to hit enter on 1st start.

i can add that every AC i get into is always zoomed out a bit. i have my hat switch to the right on stick to be "normal zoom".

Ok thanks - have been away from DCS for a while, and was playing solely in VR before then, so prob forgot it was always zoomed out when you first entered cockpit.

... is subjective, because it depends on one's monitor size, distance between eyes and monitor, mission types usually flown (spotting issues). There's no universal "best" value. Experiment and see what works best for you, however.

Thank you for answering,
good flight
