Modifying POV

[Shaun]

Just wondering if there’s anything in CFGs I can edit so that I can increase the POV range from 180 to say 270 degrees, which would enable me to see behind in cockpits. I do a lot of flying with joysticks, so would be nice if I could pan behind to see what’s on my 5/7 o’clock.

Hi Shaun,

What you want is to change the FOV (Field of View) rather than the POV (point of view).

This thread details firstly the controls to change it, but it doesn't seem to provide a method to save or keep a specific setting from session to session. This thread is quite old, but a cursory glance of a forum search for FOV doesn't seem to unearth much except a newer article pretty much restating the first. It seems you can change it, but can't save it flight to flight.

I'm aware how the FOV works. I think I got my vocabulary wrong. I want to be able to PAN the camera in a cockpit more than 90 degrees left/right, so I can see the rear of the aircraft from the cockpit.
