Snap Views

Furiz · 2025-09-27T21:20:36Z

Hi,

Where does MiG-29 Fulcrum save its snap views, I can't seem to reset the view. I tried deleting Snap View lua from saved games, and also snap view default but with no joy.

Anyone knows this?

did you alter your default view by any chance?

When I delete SnapViews file in Saved Games FOV resets to 118 give or take, is that the default FOV?

And when I turn my head the picture becomes stretched around the edges.

Yes I did as the default one was too far back in my case. IIRC after changing the default one, the entry appeared in the snapviews.lua file.

EDIT: I play on 3440x1440 resolution, so the FOV values might be a bit different than what you'd expect on 16:9 aspect ratio

Aha ok,

I was altering it as well cause of the same reason, but I didn't screenshot the default FOV, so when I deleted the .lua I thought it didn't reset. But I see now the default FOV is way back. I'll bring it closer and save then

Thanks for clarification.

This was the same problem I had with the Fulcrum that took me 3 hours to figure out. In my head I thought it would be easiest to find and change the FOV in a LUA, but if you have never saved a snap view, you won't have a snapview.lua in the Saved Games folder to change.

You have to adjust and save the default snap view in game from 118 to something around 80-ish. The Fulcrum is the only module in DCS with this strange default FOV.

I went with 100ish FOV but now the problem is the axis where the head camera is centered is now like 5cm in front of the HUD, so when you turn your head backwards you are looking at the eject lever right below you;)

This is now it looks like now when I look at the right back panel

I think they need to update this FOV.
