FOV Mod help?

[Whacker]

A fellow cougar owner eh?

I configured San's so that it doesn't use any key modifiers (alt, ctrl, etc) and just bound three things. 60 FOV, 155 FOV (default flying), and decrease FOV in steps of five. The only other key I bound is "home" to restart the app when it loses track of the current FOV and drops back to that horrible default zoom. I don't use any of the analog axes, I bet you have the thumb wheel right, ant elev? I bound those 4 commands listed above to the black thumb hat on the stick right below the red cannon button. Up is 60, down is 155, right is decr FOV, left is home/restart. When I say bound, I mean that a little differently too, since I use JoyToKey to help with repeating and key bindings. For example, my decr FOV by 5 on the hat is set to repeat 10 times every sec with a 250 msec delay, so I have fine tune control and rapid zoom in if needed.

All said, I still prefer the Default FOV and FOVmod add-ons for Modact. San is a saint and deserves a medal for what he's done. But the program isn't that reliable, and I still find that it frequently craps out and I have to restart it, and it always craps out right when I need it most, like a split second before a glancing shot in a turning fight.

S!

I use the one on the top as I use the antenna elevation rotary for elevator trim

And yes, I also use Joy2Key with the same hat as you .. I use the down and right for the game's own zoom levels, and the left direction to press X with Joy2Key and I have bound X to "Default" in San's which I have set to 120 degrees. But it doesn't seem to work anymore. Not even if I press X on keyboard.

Mr. Whacker,

I suggest you gtfo cause if I had it set up and working with Hyperlobby then obviously I know how to get it to work initially. After installing Tunngle I went back to the conf and changed everything to match the new Virtual IP and everything else that has been suggested, I even went and deleted the MAC Address line from the conf file to see if it could reset. The end result is that the program can detect that IL2 is running, but it can't actually run.

So your guarantee turned out to be useless and I want my money back.

I'll retry things here, and try other theories. see if anything comes of it.

Oh and Whacker, derail someone elses topic. kthx.

EDIT:
Went back and tried running it again. It worked for some reason. I guess San's is a touchy program, but I still love it for what it does.

S!

We can't know the level of knowledge of the people writing on this forum. We have the scale from "monkey slapping keyboard at random" to "guru flashing his own modified linux on the router box" -types. So we must start from the basics, and through dialogue determine where you are on the scale.

You ask a question, get instructions and then respond with more precise questions, and the get more precise answers. Hostility won't get you anywhere. Whacker provided some good answers IMHO.

And if someone derailed the thread, it was me by asking the side question, sorry for that.

I have NO problem at all with getting basic answers to questions. It's the basic answers that most often work. But when people make assumptions that I (or other OPs) are too stupid to follow advice, it only (to paraphrase my old man) Makes an ass out of everyone.

Thanks for all the help anyways, problem solved for some reason.

Then maybe next time, try responding in detail instead of giving this:

well, thats just it.. the FOV changer worked perfectly fine when I was using it with Hyperlobby, I just can't get it to work with Tunngle running. Ideas?

which 99 times out of 100 means "I don't need to try any of this stuff so stop wasting my time and magically fix it". Before you try to jump on the "assuming" bandwagon again, yes it is nearly 100% safe to assume that is the implication of that response. Maybe you were that 1 out of 100 then. If you don't want us to assume you aren't one of those "monkey keyboard slappers" that Untamo referenced, or being snarky and demanding, then being much more verbose in your communicating helps. Glad it's working now, welcome to the forums.
