Toon do you need the widescreen pit or the FOV fix??

I have 3 widescreen pit exe which I believe are what is being talked about here..

To get the Wideview you need to map SW_VIEW in the controls to a key function that was you will get the pit like pictured.

I need the SW_View. I am looking everywhere, but I don't see what key command that is, nor can I find it so that I can assign a key to it.

I must be missing something...

Edit- I found it. I just had to find the google sweet spot. I have to say that the wide view is much more enjoyable. I'm looking forward to getting deeper into this sim finally.

Thanks,
Toonces

you can manually add it to the F18Keys.ini file.

KEY_COMMAND=SW_VIEW

Where KEY_COMMAND is what you want it to be.

I see that you've figured it out, but FYI this is documented here:

First things first... Sorry for refloating this thread, and I'm kinda ashamed, but...
Do you know when you must format your HDD and you're positively sure you've backed up all of your important stuff... and then, when you want to recover a specific file you discover... well, you didn't.

So... pls, can anybody re-upload the files again?(*)... If so, I promise I'll permanently host them in my skydrive account, as a public file, so anyone can download them when needed.

Thx in advance, and sorry for the incovenience, one more time. :S

((*)Edit: Since none of the former links is working anymore).

I renamed the files but I think this is them.

Got it!
Thank you very much, really appreciated!!!

Edit: And reuploaded to another host so it will never get lost again. https://hotfile.com/dl/155715546/f042581/WideviewHack.zip.html

Well, finally I've decided to get myself into the hex editing, using as reference the quoted post (thx Slikk and Devas!!).
I think I've found a solution of compromise regarding the problem of the HUD symbology going out of the HUD frame itself.
I've changed the bytes pointed by Devas to 140(dec), 8C (hex). Here are the results and a comparison with the original and Slikk's POV mod.

All screencaps @ 1280x800:

1. Original F18.exe POV.


2. "Wide_Mode_1" POV by Slikk.


3. "My own" POV mod, (8C hex, 140 dec).




Here is the modified .exe, just extract it, rename it to F18.exe and copy it to the FA-18 main folder (backup your original F18.exe file prior to this). https://hotfile.com/dl/155772607/16b4937/f18_140dec_8Chex.rar.html
Hope somebody find this useful and thx for your help. Any feedback (and testing) will be appreciated.

Nice Kolmo. If you don't mind, I'd like to add these to my Resource site when I ave time.

I not only don't mind, I feel honored.
