alt+scroll in flight mode -> crazy mode

[katateochi]

Either this is a new thing, or I've never accidentally held down alt while using the mouse wheel to zoom while in flight mode.

As we all know scroll on it's own zooms in on your craft. Alt+scroll is like changing the curve of the camera's lens. This is on full in one direction (that's just a mk1 pod with a small nose cone)

This is a better comparison;

Zoomed Out (note how far away the buildings appear)

Normal(ish) (although I'm not 100% sure and can't find how to reset to normal!)

Zoomed in (hello VAB)

As mentioned, I can't figure out how to snap the camera back to normal. If you hold down mouse wheel to pan about then double clicking mouse wheel resets it, but I can't find anything like that to reset this. Had to restart KSP to be sure I was back to normal (how nice that KSP restarts so fast now!), thankfully it doesn't remember the crazy camera setting after a restart cos this was starting to make my head feel funny. But it's a cool thing to have for getting some stylized shots of craft.

oh and that little "craft" is the VIP tour-pod I'm working on, doesn't need any shielding and glides in pretty nicely (still working on that craft-ground problem as I don't have wheels yet)

Looks like it's changing the FOV. If I was into video making, I'd start using that effect when flying low.

Huh, so KSP does have an FOV change function after all. Also, nice little tour-pod. Personally, I prefer using three 'chutes and deploying one early for my re-entry technique. The first one only burns sometimes, and when it does, that's what the other two are for. Yours probably lands much, much faster, though, so I'll have to give it a try.

The new FOV change function was in the release notes for version 1, so yes it's new. I think it's quite nice personally.

Sad that we don't have "reset FOV to default" button anywhere.
