Adjusting FOV incrementally

Go to ....\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover and open the confUser.ini

Search for this :

[HotKey viewSet]
Alt MouseLeft=DashBoard
End=fov70
PageDown=fov90
Delete=fov30
Mouse5=FOV
MouseMiddle=Rotate
F10=StartStop
MouseRight=Len
MouseLeft=Offset
NumPad/=Reset

you can change the keys FOV values there.

it's 2011 already and we still have to edit .ini-files? LOL

Have been using San's FOV changer here with great success http://il2fovchanger.byethost7.com/ with IL-2 '46. I really thought that COD would have something like this built in, but oh well. Here's hoping he can make it work for COD.

I posted something, then I saw that it was already there.

OK, I know that this suggestion has already been posted, I'm just trying to make it easier to set up with a step-by-step instruction set:

- Go to your controls page, Keys tab, Camera Section
- One of the first key bindings from the top is called 'Adjust FoV' or something like that. By default it's bound to 'mouse5', whatever that might be...
- Assign a different key to 'Adjust FoV' (I use Q because I never used it for anything else...)
- Save your settings, start a flight.
- Now hold down your 'Adjust FoV' key (Q, in my case), and at the same time move the mouse up and down to incrementally adjust FoV (no need to hold any mouse key down, just hold your keyboard key and move the mouse)

[Assigning mouseUP and mouseDOWN to keys is unnecessary IMO. One key for Adjust FoV + Moving the mouse up/down does the trick pretty well]

I know how "mouse movement FOV" works mate , thanks for your reply though.

What I want to do is setup two buttons on my stick to automatically do FOV+ (and FOV-) without moving mouse - but just by pressing one button on my joystick. So I need a detailed instructions how to do what Luffe did in this post.

First set up the buttons you want to use to change FOV in JoyToKey.
Set up one for 'Mouse up' and one for 'Mouse down'.

Launch CoD and go to controls and assign each of the two buttons to their own instance of 'Hold to Adjust FOV'. Voilá.

Same procedure to set up an axis, but you will have to assign a key or button to hold down while moving the axis.

in il2 it worked like this:

thanks in advance

Ok do the following steps.

1) In Joy2key select one button for mouse up and another for mouse down. let's say button A and button B

2) Adjust the sensivity (mouse inputs for every keystroke)

3) goto cod, controller settings, adjust camera

4) asign one instance of "hold to adjust fov" to button A

5) mantaining selected the same option "hold to adjust fov" click on new to open another instance. Assign it to Button B

The idea is that key2joy is sending mouse inputs, and COD uses the same buttons for sending at the same time the keystroke "hold to adjust fov"


Hope it makes sense now, I dont have the english menues but I think you got the idea. Thanks to Luffe for the original idea
