Title: FOV in CUP WAW ?
Post by: PapaG39 on March 18, 2015, 08:29:14 PM
I'm just getting started in CUP WAW and so far it is everything, and more then I imagined... much mo betta then DBW me thinks...ha ha..

I was wondering though:   the FOV comes in small, medium and large view settings.  I notice that it seems to always default to the medium setting after any change.

I have always preferred the default to be the small setting & was wondering if there is  "a-way"  to have it always be in the small setting unless I change it? 
It's not really a bit thing, but I thought if it was a super simple change to make the small setting the default, I'd ask...

as far as i know the FOV always resets to the default when you switch Views, because of the way the Tiger Sound Mod works.
to sync the fly-by sounds to the outside view the FOV has to be on the default setting.

you can change this behavior in the conf.ini, but i am not sure where exactly at the moment, also this will probably mess with the flyby sounds if you change it, not sure.

s!

AHHHHHH! Now it all makes sense. :) That's been annoying me for ages (same in HSFX, I assume bacause I use Tiger's flybys).

I ended up just programming a Macro on my X52 to input both wide-view and Cockpit-view at the same time.  Works fine...if you have an X52 anyway.  :)

Decipher. Would you (or anyone for that matter) be able to explain how to disable this feature, because it’s really irritating me.  Having the fov change every time I change cameras is infuriating and, as I couldn’t care less about having fly-by sounds synced (I never use fly-by views anyway), I would really like to fix this if it’s possible.

Thanks

i am not exactly sure how this will affect your game experience, but i guess changing the following options in your conf.ini might help with what you are looking for:

Code: [Select]
[Mods]
Flyby=1
FlybyFov=60.0

these are the default settings for CUP, flyby=1, flybyfov=60.0. you might want to try to change flyby to 0. maybe this will disable the FOV reset.can't hurt to try. since you can just change it back if it doesnt work as intended!

goodluck

Thanks decipher. I'll give this a go.

My conf.ini doesn't include lines for flyby. Am I missing something here?

Hmmmm.  I don't understand..  In my 4.12.2 Daidalos 1946 install, it has flyby with great sounds,
but the FOV will stay where you put it until you change that view setting yourself.
makes no difference if you do different outside view settings or not..

Setting Flyby=0 will disable flyby sounds and disable the fov changes. Since you don't use flyby views there will be no loss.
I sure wish there was a way to disable the fov  reset.
Changing the flyby fov in the conf does nothing if flyby=1
I have found that if I press flyby key, the fov changes to about 30°. If I jump right back to the cockpit I find the cockpit fov goes to about normal fov but everything outside the plane fov stays about 30°. Very strange and I cannot make it match unless I adjust my fov with my slide axis.
Can anyone else confirm this?
I will try disabling my fov slide from the hotas section and see if that is causing the problem.

The CUP guide/manual has instructions to add the lines to the conf in the [mods] section

Could you explain how you did this?

That seems to have done the trick decipher. Thanks again.
