can not reproduce Unable to change default FOV; current view far too wide

[obious]

For the life of me, I'm unable to change the default cockpit FOV when playting in pancake/2D mode. 

I've changed the external FOV setting, has no effect. I've also changed the default snapview setting via RCTRL+NUM0 and it still doesn't take effect.

Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks

Do you perhaps have an axis bound to the FOV control that overrides your input?

Nope, I've checked under aircraft specific settings as well as under General

Directly edit the view angles in Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\View\SnapViews.lua. F/A-18C views start at about line 2450. Find the line

 [13] = {--default view

And set viewAngle as deired. Mine is at 70. You can also experiment with other parameters.

Have you problems changing it or saving it?
Have you tried the slider when playing?
Press Escape then options.

When you’re in the cockpit view that options slider should set your internal FOV 

For the RAlt+Num0 “save cockpit view angle” to function you must have “user snap view saving” checked in the options menu. Then the RAlt+Num0 will set the “zoom normal” level (it will also save your view direction so make sure you’re looking where you want when you press it). If that’s what you’re looking to do. I’m not sure if there’s any way to set the default level the aircraft spawns in with.

PS pressing RAlt+Num0 creates this value above. You must set one snap view somewhere in the game to create this .lua file.
