SoftTH with trackIR default zoom/FOV is too close

[coolts]

my nose is pressed against the dash ;)

 

 

This is across 3 screens so basically my middle screen is taken up with the UFC

 

I have edited view.lus and snapviewsdefault.lua but nothings worked so far.

 

I can probably remap trackIR or shift the curve in the axis options but would rather reset this somehow.

Here is a check-list:

 

 

1.

DCS World\Config\View\View.lua line#135

 

CameraViewAngleLimits[A_10A] = {20.0, 160.0}

 

 

2.

DCS Optiopns > Controls > A-10C Sim/Game - Axis Commands :

Absolute Longitude Shift Camera View is assigned to TrackIR_Z

 

 

(Using Zoom View with TrackIR_Z is not how it is meant to be - you should zoom via a extra axis/key assignment - not by leaning forward.

Zoom View aka FOV is controlled by Numpad/ and Numpad* by default)

 

 

Please check your settings and report back.

Cheers Peter. I've read your excellent guides.

 

I've edited the min/max fov and set the default between them so its all good now, (apart form 15fps, but thats another days tweaking ;).

..is all fine

 

 

The last slight annoyance is that on entering the cockpit, the camera does a slow "Hitchcock Vertigo" camera pull shot. Very annoying. It's done this for ages. Trouble is that it "settles" way back from my new default so when i hit numpad enter the camera jumps.

 

Is this pull back hard coded?
