Helicopter FOV Changes on Airspeed Exceeds
There's a small config change that occurred which seriously screws with people trying to pilot helicopters in first person. You can see it here when I exceed about 30kph:
This involuntary zooming screws with a pilots perception of airspeed and dimensionality. I don't think it's intended behavior. I made a small config change to fix this, which you can see in my post over here:
It's just a matter of setting the default speedZoomMaxFOV value for class ViewPilot for all helicopters to be 1.0 as opposed to the now-default 0.75.
Thanks for bringing that up and for the mod.
The property has been added for 1.70 to actually get rid of the FoV changes zoom out according to speed present in the game before. Without the property the FoV would zooms out from initFov to maxFov. SpeedZoomMaxFOV sets the maximum of these dynamic changes without affecting the view zoom out (minus key) extent. Vanilla helicopters use initFov 0.75 therefore the default has been set as 0.75 to completely remove the FoV changes. However - seeing your video - we've caused some unwanted zooming in on vehicles with initFov larger than 0.75. That's definitely not been intended. We're sorry about caused issues. As a full workaround you'd have to set the speedZoomMaxFOV to the same value as initFov in the viewPilot or other viewXY of the given vehicle.
