This is truly one of WG’s biggest fails ever. In a world where EVERY viewing device is going 16:9 WG in 2014 decides to optimize for 4:3? Are you kidding me? And they now need a hot fix or a MOD to fix this which didn’t need fixing in the first place? Are they TRYING to go backwards?

Thanks for linking the mod. It enormously increases my playing experience. No more vertigo and eye-aching <3

It does include my own settings for the maximum zoom out. If you don’t like it, just change it. :P

The mod is good, but tha values are totally fucked up, for example the zoom in and zoom out in sniper, arcade and strategic view.

that’s if you want a horizontal FOV of 90. for 16×10 screens, it goes 90/65, 100/74, 110/84.

According to the supplied calculator for 1680×1050 it should be 65.

I’m using 1280×1024 resolution so when i open the tool it’s like this http://pokit.org/get/img/b57c9a4f83ed7520cc4dd06cc82400a8.jpg By default Desired horizontal FOV is set to 90 so when it calculates vertical FOV it’s 78. Now what i don’t get is should i change Desired horizontal FOV from 90 to some other number(110 maybe) or should i leave it like that? Never used tool like this so i’m quite noob.

For example J1mbo’s reticles use the same file (“avatar_input_handler.xml”) for zoom-out and it contains a lot of possible settings, so you need to compare file you already use (f.e. PSPad function) with this one to see the differences.
Differences between this FOV “mod” and J1mbo are only on lines 3 (horizontalFov) and 5 (verticalFov), which means you can just change values on those 2 lines in J1mbos to “fix” your FOV without loosing zoom-out.
Original locastans FOV mod is set for horizontal FOV 110 degrees and vertical FOV 78 degrees for 1920×1080. You can calculate settings for other resolutions with provided tool.
