FoV's: Fields of Views.

[Kianoni]

the issue being discussed here is about a realistic FOV settings for different screen sizes - NOT about TIR profiles.

Yeah, I got that and am responding to his also mentioned issue that the 30deg setting is not good enough because his eyes have to strain to look up while trying to look at the dashboard.

Is that ok with you, sparky?

I dont understand why the default three fov settings cannot be configurable to whatever you prefer personally. You can use any fov you want with the mouse setting anyway, just being able to set them quickly with buttons would be much much more convinient.

The manual's claims about 30/70/90 FOV are just plain wrong, a realistic FOV depends on the display size and how far away your head is from it (Not that a realistic FOV would be what most people would prefer). It's all too much dependant on conditions and personal preference to be forced to unconfigurable values.

edit: not to mention that the FOV is applied "wrong" anyway for any unusual monitor setups, like a triple monitor setup where the default values are apparently unusable.

Retinal tracking does exist. I heard a program on about it a few weeks ago. Its in development testing with hopefully retail release soon. On the program they were talking about desktop and "proper" work type programs, but all I was thinking was Arma2 and Flight sims
Damn I hope the program wasnt on 1st of April.

has anybody found a solution to this yet in CoD ?

we should be able to set specific FoV's for our respective monitor sizes (and the distances we sit from them)

in the later versions of the il2 series you could key-bind your FoV settings at 5 degree steps between 40 and 90 degrees, so for ex "normal" for a 24' monitor might be 45 FoV, and for a 27' it might be 55 FoV, and a 30' desktop screen might be the 70 FoV that they have now locked into "normal" setting with CoD

having these forced incorrect settings for most users (who will have a smaller then 30's screen) means that all ingame objects look smaller (mini planes you are chasing and aiming at, and dinky toy sized ground vehicles etc..), it also distorts your sense of speed (since ingame objects appear artificially smaller, like buildings, trees, and ground vehicles etc..)

anybody found a solution on how to alter this setting yet ? i made a request for this to be patched in the options setting, but have had no reply or indication 1C and luthier even recognize that this is a major problem. all they need to do is give us back the same option settings for this function as was available in il2-1946

anybody found a way to edit an ini or config file, so we can temp fix this ourselves till a patch is provided ?
