FC2 how to change standard FOV

[redeagleGER]

Hi

The default FOV is zoomed in too much. How can i increase it standardly?

For FC 1.12a it was easily possible with LOCFG programm...

 

(its NOT working with C:\games\FC2\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\Config\View\view.lua)

[A.S]

Would also love to learn this...dont like setting up my FOV each time again and again ...(PS: i only use tir yaw n pitch with FIX FOX, what i fell natural and best for my config - widescreen)

 

PS: how can i turn off head-tilting forever and from the scratch (shift F1) ? (Fancy cool feature, but ......meh)

View.lua is the way to go im afraid...........

 

head_roll_shaking = false <<<thats how, can be found in the view.lua file at line 223

head_roll_shaking_max = 45.0

 

As for the FOV open snapviewsdefault.lua and snapviews.lua

snapviewsdefault.lua gives some explanation on what numbers in the tables mean. (1st column is aircraft id, see view.lua to see what id belongs to what aircraft)

2nd column is the kind of view, 13 is the default cockpit view, the one you need to change.

 

So if you want to change the cockpit view of the SU25T to be fully zoomed out do the following;

open view.lua and look for its id, which is 4

now open snapviews.lua and scroll down untill your at 4, then we want to edit the default view so scroll down till the 2nd column lists 13

set the "viewangle" to 120

 

Snap[4][13]["y_trans"] = 0

Snap[4][13]["x_trans"] = 0

Snap[4][13]["hAngle"] = 0

Snap[4][13]["viewAngle"] = 120.663398742676

Snap[4][13]["vAngle"] = -20.0

Snap[4][13]["rollAngle"] = 0

Snap[4][13]["z_trans"] = 0

 

 

not sure what the y x and z trans options do, but i guess it changes the point of the camera in the cockpit, ie, moving it left/right,up/down,forward/aft

Thank you very much, it works!

For the screenshot i use

 

Snap[1][13]["viewAngle"] = 123.468338012695

Snap[1][13]["x_trans"] = 0

Snap[1][13]["rollAngle"] = 0

Snap[1][13]["z_trans"] = 0

Snap[1][13]["vAngle"] = -17.5

 

so lowering the vangle brings the view down :thumbup:

thx..used that to adjust my "straight-line eyelook" X [13] vangles=0

[Case]

I had to change the viewangles in both snapviews.lua and snapviewsdefault.lua to make this work.

[S77th-ReOrdain]

Case,

 

Check out the view.lua file in \config\view\ . . Change lines 50 and 51 to false.

 

This will disable snapviewsdefault.lua and allow saving of custom views in the cockpit without manually adjusting the numbers in the file itself. Saves a lot of time, you get the exact view you want (as best you can), and you only have to worry about snapviews.lua if you do want to make further manual adjustments.

Thanks Falcon and ReOrdain, great improvement.

This is were you change your FOV to sit closer or further away from the hud. this is the line you change, first number moves your FOV back more, the 2nd forward more:

 

go to config\view\view

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.F_15] = {20.0, 120.0}

 

I changed my FOV so that the zoomed out view is not so zoomed out and I dont have to fiddle with my rotator knob when zooming in to find the right spot and having it do that little shaking that it does. To change the zoomed out view change the 2nd number, mine in the Eagle is now 113.
