General Q on game cockpit view

[jackd]

I use a 4k 3840x2160 monitor. Also set to that in DCS.

In general the planes you meet look really weird. B17s and wingmen you meet appear quite stretched out in F1 cockpit view.

Also the planes you chase are very very small unless you crawl right up to it's ass ... Any tuning possible?

IMO IL2 great battles got that quite better worked out.

You can adjust your FOV... That will make planes look bigger/less stretched.

There’s an FOV slider in the settings menu. If you’re in the cockpit view it will set your in-cockpit FOV otherwise it sets the external one. When you set a value you like, let’s say 95 press Alt+Num0 “Save Cockpit Angles” or something like that. Then assign a button to Zoom Normal. That will return your view to this FOV. Make sure you have Snap View Saving enabled in the game settings.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it RIGHT alt + Num 0?

Right I think that’s it. I’m just going from memory here.

No worries, just trying to help out the OP.
