Change "Default Zoom"

Hello!

I am on the latest Beta and I use on my Warthog HOTAS the Mic switch FWD and AFT for "Zoom in slow" and "Zoom out slow".

I have set Mic Switch UP to "Zoom Normal" but this a bit too far zoomed in... Is there a way to change the normal zoom level?

I already have found a few topics and tried to change the default snapviews cfg. But this changed only the zoom in the first view when I enter the cockpit on mission start. When I use my Mic Switch UP for "Normal Zoom" it zooms again too much in.

Thank you!

First thing - make sure you're editing the 'SnapViews.lua' and not 'SnapViewsDefault.lua'

Then find this bit of code.....

[13] = {--default view
	viewAngle = 83.847038,--FOV
	hAngle	 = 0.000000,
	vAngle	 = -12.471437,
	x_trans	 = 0.358480,
	y_trans	 = -0.041337,
	z_trans	 = 0.000084,
	rollAngle = 0.000000,

....and set the 'viewangle' (FOV) to what you want.

One thing to note - when you first enter the cockpit the FOV will not be e.g 83.8xxxx so you need to hit 'reset zoom' using Keypad_Enter.

Thank you! Will trie this!

So far I looked into the "View" folder in Saved Games and in the main directory of DCS... all I am able to find is the "SnapViewsDefault.lua" also there is a "View.lua" which not containing your code snippet. But no "SnapViews.lua".

I do not have to create it myself?

It should create itself, assuming you've run the game at least once, and particularly if you've tried to make changes ie a snap view.

In any event, changing name of the "SnapViewsDefault.lua" to "SnapViews.lua" in Saved Games should do it.

"Normal Zoom"

If want to change the default (Numpad 5) view reset.

Take a look at this thread here Rhinozherous.
