Analog Field of View Not Working In Bombsight
« on: May 21, 2010, 12:16:50 PM »
I have a Thrustmaster Cougar throttle that I use the Antenna knob for zoom - "field of view". It works great everywhere but at the bombsight. At the bombsight I must toogle zoom off, move knob, then toogle zoom on to change the field of view of the bombsight. Just moving the knob while zoom is toogle on doesnt work.  :) :huh :O

I'm sure this problem effects 0.01% of players.

No it's a common bug. I also have FOV mapped to an axis. Here's the way around this bug..


Adjust your FOV wider or narrower as you need and then tap one of the zoom keys.

Sometimes it's picky and wants you to tap "zoom in" key if you've zoomed in, but other times it's not an issue and either key will snap you instantly to your new FOV angle.

Also, most times holding down that zoom key and adjusting the slider works in real-time. It's not HOTAS (you have to use the keyboard) but it gets the job done to quote Ash from Evil Dead, "Basically...."
