Grass Monkey Puck

Hello,
I’m trying to set my Grass monkey puck with bms 4.37. It seems to be working well. The only issue I have, is that it set to close to the hud. I mean, it looks way zoomed in into the cockpit. I’d like to zoom out a little bit, but I dont know how. I’ve tried playing around with the fov and zoom settings, but apparently I can only zoom further in, and I’m as far back as it can be. I dont know if I’m explaining myself well, I hope you guys get what I’m trying to say. I’d really appreciate someone would be able to assist. Further info that might be helpful, i’m on triple 27s, 5760*1080.
Thank you.

@JP Have you tried to recenter when you are at your desired position by hitting the keybind that is bound in Opentrack?
Don’t think this is a game issue but a setup issue, either physically on where the sensor and you are sitting or on how things are set in Opentrack., so FOV and zoom changes in game probably won’t help.

@unkindled Hey, thank you so much for helping. I tried your suggestion, it actually helps a a little bit. I’m going to try placing the ps3 cam much further that just over the monitor, then try it again. I let you know how that goes. I was also wondering if getting 1440 monitors would help with this issue. I can’t explain why I think that could be a factor, but I do. I really hope it won’t come down to that, cause black friday is over lol. Anyway, I really appreciate your response.
Thank you.

@JP Idk how a a higher resolution monitor would help tbh. I currently have 1080p monitors so idk.
I also have the Grassmonkey camera about 60-80cm away depending on if I’m flying BMS or playing some other game with headtracking, don’t know if that could help you. -
@unkindled I’ve placed the camera further, but it still looks too close. I don’t understand, maybe that’s as far as it would go, I dont know. DCS has the zoom distance I’d like in BMS, you can zoom out as far as you can see the whole instrument panel on the main screen. (Tried to place pictures here, but didn’t know how, I’m stupid on forums). Anyways, I appreciate you trying to help. If I ever accomplish what I’m looking for, I’ll write back. Thank you so much again, cheers boss.

@JP Hm, maybe check and tweak the FOV settings in the Falcon BMS.cfg file located in User\Config folder. You could increase maximum FOV to your liking.

@unkindled Cool!, will definitely try that and let you know. thank you so much.

@unkindled Found another thread related to FOV adjustment by modifying CFG user file, @Icer had a response to the thread…
set g_sNonCompatibleChanges “all-DURANDAL-NC_CHANGE_DEAGGED_LOADOUT”
set g_sCompatibleChanges “all-C_CHANGE_DYNAMIC_SMART_SCALING”
set g_nAxisExp_AXIS_CURSOR_Y 70
set g_nAxisSat_AXIS_CURSOR_Y 0
set g_nAxisExp_AXIS_CURSOR_X 70
set g_nAxisSat_AXIS_CURSOR_X 0
set g_fDefaultFOV 120
set g_fMaximumFOV 160Copied exactly that into the file and did the trick!. Thanks to @icer for posting that, and mostly thank you @unkindled for pointing me on the right direction and for following up till it was resolved, I much appreciate your help. Thanks a lot!
