can you change the FOV in BS?

[Bee_Sting]

i was wondering if you can change the FOV in BS to have a better view of the battle field. i don't have a head tracking system,so changing the FOV in the game files would benefit me!

Use / or * on the numpad (In cockpit). Use RCTRL and / or * on the numpad when in external views.

you are missing my point! i should be able to go to a file and change the FOV. right now you see about 30deg but i wanna see 90deg. so when the game starts you can see more but editing a file in the games files itself

Look in your view lua file for this line,

 

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iKA_50] = {20.0, 120.0}

 

First is zoom in view and second is zoom out view.

Apologies, I didn't read your post properly. Try editing Line 951 in \\Config\View\snapviewsdefault.lua or Line 940 in snapviews.lua

These are the zoom limits rather than the default zoom.

ok cool! i mean for of a FOV wide angle! 45deg or wider! thanks for the zoom i like the zoom i want more wide angle as like you have with you eye sight!

Default is 90, or

 

Snap[9][13]["viewAngle"] = 89.777544238285

 

to be precise. Any value over 90 will increase your FOV.

I think he is looking for a way to prevent the sim from starting in the zoomed in view. The parameters for both of these lines 940 and 951 are already at approx 90.

I'd like to do the same thing not only in Ka-50 but also in A-10C but which line please?

For warthog look at Line 1059 of \\Config\View\snapviewsdefault.lua I think or 1048 of \\Config\View\snapviews.lua.

 

Remember you MUST use Notepad++ or you risk corrupting the files.

Great! Thank you.:joystick:

I've never bothered to alter my initial FOV permanently. I always adjust it during startup using the ?Ctrl+Numpad* etc. See the key commands pdf.

Where can I change it now in BS2?

[f-18hornet]

Bump. Anyone?
