Goa Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Hi guys! Whenever I use TrackIR 5 with Z axis on zoomview (either with 6dof addon or not) with Lock On FC2, the game does not use the custom View Angle I put in the "SnapViewDefault.lua". When I center TrackIR (default key F12) I would like to have a slightly zoomed out position, but no matter what number I put in the SnapViewDefault.lua file, the view angle for my F-15 changes only, when I don't use TrackIR. Here is what I mean exactly: Snap[8][13]["viewAngle"] = 88 When I change the value in this line, the viewAngle ingame changes only if I don't use TrackIR. When I do use it, then I get an more "zoomed in" Cockpit ViewAngle, when I center my TrackIR. What I don't understand, is that the other values for the different cockpit angles, that are also contained in the SnapViewDefault.lua (see below), actually DO WORK, even when I use TrackIR. For example: Snap[8][13]["vAngle"] = -12 Snap[8][13]["hAngle"] = 0 When I change those values I can see the effects ingame, even with TrackIR in use. Only the "Snap[8][13]["viewAngle"] = 88" has no effect for some reason. I realize that I can zoom with my TrackIR, but what I would like to have is that the ViewAngle setting I put in the LUA file is used, when I center the TrackIR. Does anyone know, how I could get this to work?

TheThumper Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Not near my gaming rig at the moment and I fly the A10 and fiddled with those settings, but hopefully I can shed some info of what I have found in my settings. I run 3 monitors and the default "zoom" with TrackIR was too close. I too found that playing with the viewAngles had no effect on the "default" zoom location. What I found to work for me was to adjust the FOV setting for the A10 in the view.lua file. I'm sorry I can't remember the exact name of the setting, but it's value was something like '= {20, 140}'. Changing the latter value to something larger helped me zoom out some, think I have mine set at {20, 200} at the moment. I hope you can get some help from this. Good Luck! ~Thump.

PeterP Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 What you experience is absolute normal as you have set the zoom to your Headtracker Z-axis. "viewAngle" and "Zoom View" are just different terms for the same thing called FOV -Field of View. The solution would be to un-assign your Z-axis from "Zoom View"(so you aren't changing it immediately when in cockpit ) and assign the Z-axis better to "Absolute Longitude Shift Camera View" I don't have FC2 installed and I don't know if "Absolute Longitude Shift Camera View" is fully supported. - "Zoom View" may looks similar to moving your head forward in the first place but is technically a diffrent thing.
