Title: Wider View Angles
Post by: FLS on February 07, 2010, 11:30:44 AM
If you use a triple monitor setup with 3 1920X1080 monitors, your resolution is 5760x1080 for an aspect ratio of 5.33:1.  This is not a good fit with a field of view of 145 degrees. Would it be possible to set the field of view option to a higher maximum?

not sure if you know this, FLS....... but when you click on Aces high icon/shortcut  when the clipboard first comes up, click on the Video Settings then click "Set Custom Field of View" and type in what you want......

say now you are saying you are at 145 degrees. try putting in 160 degrees then click Save or OK ( which ever it is I do not remember )

then start up the game and see how it does...... if it needs tweaking just go back and redo it, until you get what you want.or what looks best for you......

hope this helps....

The view angle range is explicitly 45-145 degrees. Any other setting gets an "out of range" message from AH.

even if you manually go into your video8.cfg file and edit it to what you want?

I know several people edit their video8.cfg files for custom setting purposes.....

is located in the C:\hitech creations\Aces High II\settings\  folder.......  just use notepad to open it / edit it ( might want to make a backup copy before editing ,  a reminder: if you delete this file, it will rebuild itself when you go back into the clipboard to launch the game )

hope this helps..... 

ps.... might want to email Skuzzy at support(at)hitechcreations.com  and ask him what he thinks.....

I appreciate the help TC but my wish is that the max setting is changed in the video settings page.

Jesse its solo much cheaper to use a head tracker then to use three monitors and have issues. Why not pick one up?

Some people like having three monitors. Not helping.
