FEATUREREQUEST: Analog FOV change

This leads to the pilot being able to very smooth and precise change the FOV.
I would love to see this work like that.

There are keys to change "angle of view" for 30°, 60° and 90° (not certain about 60°). is this what you need?
You can find this keys into the controls/view menu.

Well for those of us that use more than on screen to play the locked, default zoom levels are still way to narrow so the first thing I have to do in each time I fly is hit the fov key and move my mouse around. Not the end of the world, but it would be nice to be able to just have it mapped to a rotary and flick it back to where I want.

I have a mix set up now. I have 60° FOV and 90° FOV on 2 Buttons and also the zoom on one coolie. Takes a little time to get used to but works great now.

Yeah it work great, but would be better a option to map our desire FOV to a key.

Im using FOV 95 for my 1920x1200 screen, using the Kegetys mod, and that FOV is awesome in my widescreen, just need a offset to forward correction and that is it.

I should correct the camera position, every time that the game is started and I cant switch externals views because the offset configuration is lost in the change.

So a option to set a offset position would be nice too, through Conf.ini or what ever method.

Why it can be like in other simulators - ROF or FC2 or Black Shark or A-10 where you have smooth FOV change by 2 keys ( ZOOM IN and ZOOM OUT)???

We are now in XXI century i think.

I luv BS & A10s FOv zoom keys much easier but its not a huge deal

Where is this mod where you can set the fov to 95?

Readme for the SFS mod

Is anyone else getting that much FOV? I'm certainly not, the zoom out stops at FOV90 for me.

He is talking about the cockpit view, it allow more FOV.

Actually the best method to do this is using Joytokey, it allow you to map the mouse to any input.

Im adjusting my FOV and my pilot position (using zoom) just using the POV in my throttle controller.
