TIR and Default Zoom

[hassata]

Is there an easy way to set default zoom further back. I use TIR, and other than the a10 and f15, the view defaults way to close. I think the only way might be to go into LUA hell, unless locfg utility is compatible with FC2.

 

Thanks for any guidence

You can go for editing lua files, or you can try a little workaround

 

1)Assign Zoom to trackIR

2)Lean forward (zoom in)

3)Reset trackIR default position

4)The view will zoom out as you lean to your default sitting position

Thanks! Beats messing with the luas. Also my solution to FF5 zoom lol.

Turns out it's not that hard. Just change the view angle line in the view.lua for the particular aircraft, e.g. 20, 120 to 20, 160 gets you sitting further back. adding 40 to the second number gave me what I want.

 

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

CameraViewAngleLimits = {}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_27] = {20.0, 120.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_33] = {20.0, 120.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_25] = {20.0, 120.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_39] = {20.0, 120.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29] = {20.0, 120.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29K] = {20.0, 120.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iA_10] = {20.0, 120.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iF_15] = {20.0, 120.0}
