FoV

[Prorok]

I encountered with some little problem with view in the cockpit of F4U. It’s so close to the cockpit’s panel and I can’t increase FoV, in settings of f4u the file view maximum 110 degrees, I set 170, but internal check doesn’t let me to join the server. 
In the future I would appreciate the FoV 170 or something like this. 

I have monitor 49’   aspect 32:9

Yeah it feels like the camera position is too far forward, I use Rctrl+Rshift+num- to move it back. But the default position needs to be changed.

I moved it back as max as possible, but there is no solution

Agree.  "Zoom out" limit is not anything like what you can achieve with the other aircraft I have flown.

With Track IR it *seems* that you get the best result from recentering with the zoom all the way 'In' then zooming out, but that's only a strong hypothesis atm.

I hope the developer will make changes and increase FoV up to 140 like other aircraft of ED

Through some experimentation, I found that putting the following entries in the Server.lua in \Users\ . . .\Saved Games\DCS\Config\View\ folder allows an increase of the maximum FoV for the Corsair to 140.

ViewSettings["F4U-1D"] = {
    Cockpit = {
    [1] = {-- player slot 1
        CockpitLocalPoint      = {0.00,0.00,0.00}, --{-2.00,0.62,0.00},

        CameraAngleLimits      = {180.00,-80.00,90.00},
        EyePoint               = {0.00,0.00,0.00},
        ShoulderSize           = 0.15,
        Allow360rotation       = false,
        limits_6DOF            = {x = {-0.05,0.35},y ={-0.20,0.10},z = {-0.22,0.22},roll = 90.00},
        --limits_6DOF            = {x = {-0.50,0.65},y ={-0.40,0.40},z = {-0.52,0.52},roll = 90.00}, -- just for testing
    },

        AnglesDefault   = {180.0, 0.0},
    }, -- Chase 
    Arcade = {
        LocalPoint      = {-21.5, 5.6, 0.0},
        AnglesDefault   = {0.0, -8.0},
    }, -- Arcade 
}

ViewSettings["F4U-1D_CW"] = {
    Cockpit = {
    [1] = {-- player slot 1
        CockpitLocalPoint      = {0.00,0.00,0.00}, --{-2.00,0.62,0.00},

        CameraAngleRestriction = {false,90.00,0.50},
        CameraAngleLimits      = {180.00,-80.00,90.00},
        EyePoint               = {0.00,0.00,0.00},
        ShoulderSize           = 0.15,
        Allow360rotation       = false,
        limits_6DOF            = {x = {-0.05,0.35},y ={-0.20,0.10},z = {-0.22,0.22},roll = 90.00},
        --limits_6DOF            = {x = {-0.50,0.65},y ={-0.40,0.40},z = {-0.52,0.52},roll = 90.00}, -- just for testing
    },
    }, -- Cockpit 
    Chase = {
        LocalPoint      = {-13.0, 2.0, 0.0},--{-3.0, 2.5, 0.0},
        AnglesDefault   = {180.0, 0.0},
    }, -- Chase 
    Arcade = {
        LocalPoint      = {-21.5, 5.6, 0.0},
        AnglesDefault   = {0.0, -8.0},
    }, -- Arcade 
}
 

 

This is a transfer of the base settings (with max fov of 110 increased to 140) from the Corsair settings in the main folder.  Since this is a change in the Saved Games folder instead of the game folder, it works with multiplayer.

I suspect fiddling with the eyepoint and other settings can work to tune the seating position, too . . . though I have yet to try tuning that.

Good to hear! I’ll do that go the online 

Thank you!

I checked your advise, unfortunately it doesn't work. I created a file server.lua and pasted your setting for f-4u. FoV doesn't change. only if you change parameters in DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F4U-1D\Entry   then file views, in this way it works, but online is getting unavailable

If you had to create a server.lua file, I suspect the one created doesn't have all the info DCS needs and it's reverting back to the server.lua in the install folder of DCS.  Since you didn't already have a server.lua in the saved games/DCS/config/View folder, you might try copying the server.lua from the install folder of DCS\config\view folder to the saved games\dcs\config\view folder.  Then edit that one and copy the string I posted above.

Does it work at your computer?

[manashttu]

It does work on my end.  But, I already had a server.lua in my saved games\dcs\config\views folder.  When I'm back at my flight pc, I'll upload my server.lua file.  Maybe you could put try using my file and see if it works.

[manashttu]

Attached is the server.lua that works on my end.

It is in the saved games folder under users--the following is the directory tree.

\users\[your user]\Saved Games\DCS\Config\View

It works,thx! Hope magnitude 3 LLC will expend FoV

worked for me too!

I tried to use snapviews.lua file in Saved Games/.../Config/View to change default FoV to my liking, just like I always do in all my modules, but even though relevant entries for US and Brit variants did get created after hitting Alt Num0, manual editing FoVs there doesn't seem to "stick" and do anything.

When I'm playing, zooming and Alt+Num0'ing, the game does save FoV changes somewhere, but I havent't yet figured out where exactly. It's a bit puzzling.
