cockpit unzooming

[sotosev]

Every time I play a mission, after I unpause the game, my view starts to zoom out. My problem is that I don't need it! I have to say that I use trackIR. So after that I press Enter on my keyboard to return to the default zoom level. Is there any reason why that happens. Finally can I change something in options or a mod maybe to avoid that?:)

Is it the G-force effect? I can't get face track noir to work but when it did in 1.1... I unticked G-force effects as had head/zoom movement I didn't want?

If it is then it makes no sense.

I recall it being a feature actually.. The same way you "warp" into something.. Wish I could turn it off though..

[Nate--IRL--]

It is a "feature" for wide-screens. Useless and annoying.

As soon as i see the pit i tap the * key then numpad enter.

I have actually gotten pretty good at clicking moving switches. :D

[sotosev]

Is it the G-force effect?

 

No, it is not, it happens only in the beginning of all missions, not while flying. If it's the wide screen effect is it possible to avoid it?

No. Just hit * and Enter on the numpad when starting a mission, to get the correct FoV.

Anyway, not a big deal!:smilewink:

Agreed, but from a purely personal perspective, I would really like to hear the explanation for the design choice.

It is to accommodate unusual aspect ratios. If you set DCS to a portrait resolution it actually zooms in.

What problem is it supposed to fix/prevent? What would happen on one of these unusual aspect ratio systems, if the zooming didn't occur?

[ALDEGA]

+1 for getting rid of this feature :D

[Devrim]

It's big (not much) deal for me. It's really anoying.

If possible, they (ED) should remove this "feature".

[Echo38]

No good reason to ever remove a feature, but it's always nice to have an option to turn a feature off.

 

However, I'd like to know what problem this feature prevents, as I cannot think of what it might be. (Which doesn't mean that there isn't one--be careful what you wish for.)

[Devrim]

Ok, sorry (It's better not to be a selfish). You may right. "Option" option is OK for me. :)

Having the option to control this feature sounds reasonable.

In peterp's multimonitor setup HUD files, he actually did something that causes view to be zoomed out before unpause, then zooms in to correct fov. Check with him.
