I would like to know if there is a way to adjust the default field of view to a specific number of degrees. Currently it is possible to zoom back and forth, but I wish I could control the degrees. To explain myself better, I can take the example of Battle of Stalingrad, where, by pressing backspace, you get the field of view at the top right of the screen, in the form of a small green number, which expresses the angle in degrees. Here you can calibrate the angle, and then press F10 to save that angle as the default value. Thank you!

Well, RoF is not quite that "calibrated" but you can move the FOV around and then hit F10 to save that view:

- Do a quick mission where your on the ground
- Use the Del/Home/End/Page up/Pag down keys to move around
- Hit F10 when done
- Make sure you have NOT started TrackIR when doing this stuff

Hope this helps.

Sorry since I failed to make myself understood: I meant to set degrees of FoV, not moving around PoV. Please, give a glance to attached image, taken from my BoS (FC1) installation: there I could set exactly 44 degrees of FoV; I was wondering if the same could be done in RoF.

Oh I get it now. So...don't think so. Maybe you can edit the view files by aircraft?

I too fear that it's impossible. If for view files you mean the SVC's, I can't see inside them any angle; they look all like linear coordinates.
