Is it possible in any way (maybe some .ini file) to adjust the default FOV?
Currently flying the Halberstadt with the gun on the side, and in order to hit something i am switching quite a lot between "normal" cockpit view and ironsights during dogfights. Now the problem is, that any time i am switching, the FOV is pretty far zoomed in, and i lose the overview of things before being able to fully zoom out.
Is there any way to use the max zoomed out view as default?

Thanks

I am sorry, but this mod alters only basic pilot view in cockpit, not gun sight view. For gun sight view of this only aircraft I recommend to locate the file "Halb_DII_sqd.xdp" and alter following sentence in text editor:

<Station FovDown="15" FovUp="20" Name="Iron_Sight" Type="pilot_station" View="1">
to
<Station FovDown="20" FovUp="25" Name="Iron_Sight" Type="pilot_station" View="1">

It's meant to be zoomed in more, you are focussing on aiming and looking closely at the sights, and have leaned forward to the gun to do so.

Thanks, Cockpit is my main concern anyway, i am ok with gunsight zoomed in. One question, i realized that your viewpoint mod is not in JSGME format, and i have no clue about the file structure of the game. So what exactly do i have to do with the file now? Thanks.

Just unzip archive and run *.jar file. Application buttons are straightforward - you can set pilot viewpoint back or forward as you wish/prefer or restore original settings. Pls note, that maximum back movement is two points (+12 degree FOV).
IMPORTANT: do not forget to run "BDPStamp.exe" (located at Toolbox folder) after applying this mod.

Oh, it seems you do nt have Java installed on your PC. Install Java first, please. You can download it here: Java
