FOV settings

I remember seeing somewhere a thread about projecting a 3D image on a plexiglas half a semisphere support standing around player's head.

Give a try to TrackNoir, free face trackir with your webcam. I use a laptop and once you set up the curves well...it really works nicely.

S!

Finnish Virtual Pilots Association built 2x 109(G2 and G6) simulators for 2 Finnish aviation museums. They use IL-2 1946 and the 3 back projected renders to bring 270 degree FOV

It was quite awesome to test it out, but it wouldn't do for an online flyer as you have no rear view. And with a HW cockpit it wouldn't be proper to turn the views

Note the non-real-like Revi in the first pic, it has been now replaced with a properly working one, as in, points to one point independent of ones head movement.

And from cockpit:

But more on topic: I really wish the devs would give us changeable FOVs for the 3 predetermined options. With a 30" monitor the 90 degree FOV is a bit tunnelish, and I use 120 degree FOV in old IL-2 with San's FOV changer.

I'll give Luffe's trick a try and see if it works for me.

Regarding the original post topic:

I did not realize there were so many discussions on this topic already. I posted a video in a separate thread on setting up zooming FOV on a Saitek X52 with mini-stick mouse. Should work for other joysticks that have mini-sticks. Hopefully, this helps some people? I realize those without a mini-stick will need to use other methods.

For Warthog users, you can do this:


SEQ(PULSE+L_ALT+PGUP, PULSE+L_ALT+HOME, PULSE+L_ALT+INS)


Gives you the possibility to cycle through FOVs with one button.
Saitek users can do the same with the X-52 software.
