BlackSix and Luthier
thank you for the detailed information on bug fixes added to the gfx engine rework patch
but ........
can you please include the "FoV preferences/setup fix" in this release ? it should be a simple quick edit of your files, and not something lengthy and complex (so not time consuming or a cause for delay)
right now we have the problem that "normal" view is locked for all players to 70 FoV, and this 70 degree field of view is only normal for somebody sitting approx at arms length from a 30' monitor. however if you have a 24' monitor "normal" FoV should be about 45 FoV, and for a 27' monitor it would be about 55 FoV etc...
please understand the importance of this ! eg, when those 20', 22', or 24' or 27' monitor users have the 70 FoV setting set as normal, ALL INGAME OBJECTS SHRINK IN SIZE AND EITHER LOOK MUCH SMALLER OR LOOK MUCH FURTHER AWAY FROM THE USER, this distorts our sense of speed and distance to objects when we fly in the il2 virtual world BY AS MUCH AS 30 - 50% !
we need to be able to assign a FoV value in the preferences/options setup are (as we were able to do in the later versions of the il2 sim in previous years), so the "normal, "wide' and "zoomed" views can be specifically chosen by the user (with valus from 35 to 90 FoV) to suit their display hardware and personal FoV choice
a number of previous threads in this forum have raised this issue, and it has been reported in the "bug fix request" thread
