No, it's Maddox Games the job to fix that. The "guy who released the widescreen mod" has to use a "not so ellegant" approach using [DeviceLink] to change the FOV, but someone with free access to code can achieve the same thing with a simple and stable solution. The mod for FOV change runs in a background process, a lot of trouble.
My simple point is: have 6DOF and larger FOV are very simple to put into IL-2 as "official", and the FOV issue can be easily solved by someone with dev support. But I know what happens: larger FOV = bigger distortion in image, cockpits made just for smaller FOVs and 4:3 monitors or 3 displays in mind.
But I, the humble customer, will like to have the CHANCE to suffer with all the bigger distortion in my 16:10 monitor, but I can't have this opportunity, because someone tell me that it's violate some "quality standard" stataments.
I don't think it's right. If people never will revamp the IL-2 cockpits, what's the problem to give people the CHOICE of have some features at some cost "officialy" and without the need to run some troublesome process in background?
It's not "quality control". It's not to do at all a simple thing. I wasn't ask for some that will give a lot of trouble, but simple thing that's already functional (6DOF) and something simple (bigger than 90º FOV setting). If someone make "official" just another option in "CONTROLS" as "100º FOV" a lot of mine and others virtual pilots problems are solved, and if you dislike 100º FOV, just don't use it.
Excuse me all the official patchers, but it's not difficult at all to put some new FOV setting. With that, I can use one mod less.
