feeleyat Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 I have a new widescreen monitor and started messing with some settings and I guess I messed something up. Upon loading everthing is fine, but if I use the zoom slider to zoom in, when I zoom back out the center position is so zoomed in all I can see is the hud. I have gone into the left ctrl pause break and changed and saved the FOV but as soon as I touch the zoom slider it goes back to FOV of 90. Am I doing something wrong. The FOV slider in the menu reflects what I am seeing as well. I set it to 100. Touch the slider and center it. Now my FOV is 80. I hate the TM warthog zoom because of the jitter. I can use the zoom axis to get back to 100 but I may have a seizure from the jittering. Is there a way to save the default zoom setting. I now I did something as now it seems every plane spawn in has an FOV of 80

I now I did something as now it seems every plane spawn in has an FOV of 80 Two things you can try to solve/minimise the jitter, the first is free, and that is to either use the software to disable the backlighting LEDs, or turn them up to full, anything else seems to increase the jitter. The second is to use a powered USB hub, not too expensive. I even had a custom HALL effect sensor made for the "zoom" slider but it didn't fix it. A powered USB hub did though. Which I learned from somebody else with the same problem. I had the same issue whereby it didn't seem to be saving my preferred FOV when I saved a new snap view. What you can do is set a User Curve for the Zoom slider. If you adjust the centre "button" you'll see that the FOV changes when the slider is in the detent, put that where you want it. When you first get in a new plane, the FOV may be the default, just wiggle the slider out of the detent and back again. Then I did a bit of maths to figure out what the other buttons should be. eg my centre is 30 from centre to either end is 5 steps, 30/5=6, so each step up to the middle is increased by 6, (0 6 12 18 24) 70/5 = 14, so each step from the middle to the right increases by 14, (44 58 72 86 100) Downside is that you need to do this for each aircraft, but it's saved in your keybindings, so you should really only have to do it once. This gives a linear change in either increasing or decreasing FOV from the centre, obviously different in each direction from centre but it's not noticeable. Edited January 19, 2023 by jonsky7
