Cockpit zoom - MaxFOV with Slider Axis

[JAPman]

I assign the cockpit zoom to the slider axis of the input device and set the zoom to normal when the slider is full.
The cockpit FOV is adjusted using CameraViewAngleLimits in "Config/View/Server.lua".

The MaxFOV of CameraViewAngleLimits is a batch setting for all FC3 aircraft, but for example, MiG-29, Su-27, and Su-33 require separate settings.
So, in order to set MaxFOV for each aircraft, I rewrote Server.lua a little. Change "140.000000" in the line commented "-- Cockpit MIN/MAX FOV" for each aircraft.

This file should be placed in the "Saved Games/DCS(.openbeta)/Config/View" folder.

I think this is a basic adjustment method.
