Type of improvement: being able to assign our own choice of 3 different FoV settings to the keyboard keys, and not be limited to the default 3 pre-assigned values currently enforced in CoD
Explanation of proposals:
- in il2-1946 series we could assign our own FoV setting for zoom, "normal" and wide views. this is needed because the "normal" view is different for each player, depending on the size of their monitor and how far they sit from it.
- the current "normal" FoV setting is 70 FoV, but this is a correct field of view ONLY for people why have a32' monitor that they sit at arms length from. forcing all other people to use 70 FoV as "normal" (since we cant edit it) on a smaller then 32' monitor (for ex if they use a 22' or 24') will mean that all CoD in-game objects seen on the monitor will shrink and look much smaller then they would in real life under the same situation, and it therefore distorts the sensation of speed and the perception of distance. if you have a 27' lcd for ex, the "normal" setting should be close to 55 FoV, which is currently not possible to assign to that key in CoD (but was possible to do in the previous il2 series). similarly if you have a 20' monitor, your "normal" view will correspond to about 40 FoV.
Benefits: being able to SIMULATE more accurately what a pilot sees from his cockpit when flying around in the "SoW world" and improve realism
note: this should be easy to fix and not take much programing time, and will give major benefits if CoD intends to be a SIMULATOR for ww2 aviation experience
