FOV Changer Mod
SAS~Storebror:
Hi folks,
dunno if something similar has been done before already, I just wanted to share this small piece of helper which I'm using myself frequently.
With this mod, instead of limiting the FOV in the range of 30° through 90°, you can extend this from 5° to 175° (everything above 140° looks kinda psychedelic, so what?).
In fact you don't have to do anything special apart from extracting this mod to your MODS, #SAS, #UP#, #DBW folder or whatever else your modded files folder is called.
The mod acts as an extension to the commands which are already there for "Wide View" and "Gunsight View".
Usually "Wide View" just extends the FOV to 90° and "Gunsight View" limits it to 30°.
With this mod, when you're in "Wide View" already and press the "Wide View" key or button again, the FOV will be extended by another 5° up to 175°.
Same thing with "Gunsight View", pressing "Gunsight View" once gives you the default 30° FOV, further presses lower this by another 5° each down to a minimum FOV of 5°.
You can always press "Normal View" key to get back to the default 70° FOV immediately.
Additionally you can also use the "increase/decrease FOV" keys (if assigned) to select the FOV in the whole range from 5° to 175° in steps of 5° each.
The chosen FOV will be displayed in the HUD log for reference.
This mod should work for all IL-2 versions, be it 4.09m or 4.10.1m and any mod package like HSFX, UP or DBW.

Thanks a lot!! I'll give it a try this evening.
P.s. Considering your great work with the wrapper and the selector may I ask you if sometime you might take a look at the graphic dll's?
It would be another gigantic step ahead in IL2's history if someone finally could get off the infamous "water rings" (well known by every Nvidia user)!!
Regards

It works. You have to make sure that you'er in wide view mode, then hit your wide view key again ot zoom out even more. To zoom in, hit your gunsight view key, then hit it again to zoom in even more. To reset hit your normal view key.

Hey Avair - where does it say that it's a JSMGE mod.
Just put it in your Mods folder (whatever it's called) and it will work fine.
I like it - Thank You

You might have already tried this, but click on the folder and make sure that you see the class file. If you see another folder inside the folder, then thats your problem. If you see the class file, Make sure that no other FOV Mods are active. Other than that, I cant see why this is not working for you. I just droped this into my mods folder and it worked right off the bat. For me this mod works even with San FOV mod active.
