Widescreen and Mavericks

[coolts]

Guys

I changed my graphics.cfg file to “1.6” FOV and that works okay. I avoid the settings page now so it won’t reset.

I tried an f-15 mission. Fine. Better SA. Like it

I tried a few a-10 missions. And every single maverick I fired missed. By the same margin, below and to the right, (i think).

Do you think the forced FOV change has somehow messed up the HUD alignment? As mavs are targeted using an essentially auto-locking visual means, this may have been borked by changing FOV.

I will revert and test.

I swear I saw a little mod on lockonfiles to tweak the targeting pipper but ignored it, (and can’t remember the name now). It could be another mod messing with stuff.

 

Without mavericks, the A-10 is just a tour bus!:noexpression:

Be sure to set your Missile Effectiveness Slider to exactly 50% or 100%. Anything inbetween is Bugged and as a Consequence the Mav's are guaranteed to Hunt Gophers.......

 

Edit: Just remembered: Do not forget to Tweak your F.O.V. for Widescreen. When setting your Aspect Ratio to 1.6 it has the result of Cropping the Top and Bottom of the screen. To Counteract this, navigate to your Config\View\view.lua file and edit the values to the Camera View Angle Limits to the ones marked in Red:

 

-- Camera view angle limits {view angle min, view angle max}.

CameraViewAngleLimits = {}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_27] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_33] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_25] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_39] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29K] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iA_10] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iF_15] = {20.0, 145.0}

that sorted it. cheers. it was the missile effectiveness slider i think. couldnt find the .cfg or .lua file so just reset to defaults in game.

 

btw my "view angle min" are differnet to yours

 

CameraAngleLimits = {}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_27] = {160.0, -76.0, 145.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_33] = {160.0, -79.0, 145.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_25] = {109.0, -70.0, 104.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_39] = {116.0, -85.0, 145.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29] = {160.0, -80.0, 145.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29K] = {140.0, -65.0, 145.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iA_10] = {160.0, -72.0, 145.0}

CameraAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iF_15] = {160.0, -81.0, 145.0}

 

any idea why?

You've got the wrong file there :)
