@Sneakpeek here are the steps I use.
-
Set the FOV parameters in your Falcon BMS User.cfg file
Mine is set like this (I know the max FOV is 140, but I still set it to 270):
set g_fDefaultFOV 90
set g_fMaximumFOV 270
set g_fMinimumFOV 20
set g_fNarrowFOV 20
set g_fFOVIncrement 1 -
In game with your HUD on use the empty shell (Shift 2) and then use the right mouse button to position the HUD where you want it and use the mouse wheel to get the FOV to fill the HUD in your HUD view.
-
Open the chat and put in .gvd and press enter. This will export your current FOV and position settings to a file called Guidedview.txt in your User/Logs folder.
-
You then need to edit the 3dckpit.dat file for the aircraft you are flying. You can follow these steps in the BMS Technical Manual in section 4.3.
-
Once you have the file modified, you can get the view up by using the custom view cycle shortcut. (If you delete the other custom views so you only have the one, you can map a couple of joystick button which is always on to the custom view and empty shell shortcuts and when you enter the cockpit, the view and empty shell will automatically be setup for you)
Let me know if you have any questions. This works great for me as I have a similar setup.
