Limits for FOV not always working in MP

[Settingz85]

Hi all,

just had a small issue about the FoV. I set the limits for FoV to 90 degree (DCSWorld\Config\View\View.LUA - edited with notepad++), which always works fine in SP. But for some unknown reason it does not always work in MP. Yesterday it worked fine (104th server), but today the set Limits seemed to be ignored (=GROF=-server). How can i force to always use my set FoV limits?

This is not a 1.2.3 issue. It happend in earlier versions too.

This depends on the mission being hosted by the server.

 

If the mission file includes the View files within it, then these view settings will be forced on the client connecting to the server - otherwise your personal settings will be used.

 

You will find that all dedicated servers will not have such restrictions and will allow you to use your preferred settings. While personal servers, of players that are actually hosting and flying will most likely not know about this and will be forcing their settings on their clients.

Hello. You were very informative

 

Could you please explain how to turn that forced views off in private server?

It is all about the mission file used. Open the .miz of the mission you are playing as a zip file and delete any folder named "view".

 

When making a mission in the editor, as long as you don't use "prepare mission" to launch it, you should be fine.
