Title: Analog Field of View Not Working In Bombsight
Post by: doright 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.

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...."
