Can you change the FOV settings in the cockpit?


I'm running two projectors at 3840 X 1080 but it feels like my face is really close to the screen

The left square and right square brackets [ ] control the zoom.

I'm referring to WOFF, not WOTR, but in Workshop there should be a setting to change FOV in the cockpit.

Just checked WOTR, there is an adjustment in Workshop, first page, bottom middle, 'FOV'

Try opening viewui.xml --> found in the OBDWW2 Wings Over The Reich folder. --> with notepad++ ---> make a back up first. The very first line is:
<VirtualCockpitView FovScale="1.0" RotationRate="0.5" TranslationRate="0.5" VerticalLimit="0.3" LateralLimit="0.3" LightColor="255 50 50" DrawCockpit="true"/>

I am sure you could have some fun here and get in some trouble! Hence the back up. winkngrin
Have fun.

^^ Jaras work comes massively recommend by me Jskibo, simple to set up and incredibly easy to understand.


@ Jara ..any chance of something like the pilot log editor for WOTR like you have made for WOFF? It's a great piece of work and thank you for all the modding that you do for the community cheers

Would love to try try the WOTR Multimod, its had great reviews but have downloaded it but there is no .exe file.
I know I'm missing something but I'm really stuck. Could someone please walk me through the setup sequence.

Many thanks.

Check this Readme file, pls. Although intended for WOFF UE Multimod originaly, it can help to install and running of WOTR Multimod too.

Evidently, you did not read this Readme properly. You have to install Java runtime manually (in case you have Windows 10) and double click on *.jar file in windows explorer. No browser!

Sorry. That was my fault for being to eager. Right have downloaded Java Runtime manually for Win 10. Unzipped the WOTR Customiser.rar file. Double clicked on the WOTR_Customiser.jar file and nothing. Its almost as if she starts to execute then stops.

That sounds strange. Unfortunately, I am not able to test it in Windows 10 environment, but someone here can do it?

Thanks. I hope someone can. I've followed various fixes concerning problems opening .Jar files in Windows 10 and even used Jarfix but to no avail. I noticed that jskibo even said he had fun trying to open that type of file.

@Littleowl,

I have Win10 and work without Java, because I got problems once (fortunately long time ago).
So you can change the view about the pilot seat settings alternatively. F.e. you move your seat back, so you have a more distant cockpit-view, see more surroundings in front of you but you don't change the zoom-factor (with change of FOV you change the zoom-factor too). And so you keep the real visual distance to the objects around you.

How?
Here is the link with the Tip from @OrbxP (posting 12). I have applied it with WOFF and these days with WOTR too. It has functioned.
https://SimHQ.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4521025/pilot-seat-position#Post4521025

Very important: "It won't take effect until you look in another direction then back to forward view".

I hope you can work with the multimod, if not good luck with this second way.

Greetings
