Do you see a little fov out when you press the key? First, it must to fov from 70 to 90.
Make this test, press il2 fov key 30, and press my program start key
Don you see it pass to 70 and then to 90?
If not, check your ip settings

Thanks metalnwood, that's what I feared. Great program nevertheless. Thanks San.

Doh! I used my def gateway instead of my IP address.

Great program! Thank you so much for this!

San's IL2 Fov Chager Release Candidate published

Updates:
- Joystick support. Axis support for absolute fov changes and button support for relative fov changes.
- Test config button to help people to config the program.
- Auto detects ip
- Now the program stores internally the mac, so you don´t have to change the ip if you have dynamic address.
- Watch fov, the program follows IL2 when it jumps before you need it.
- Very faster start (less than one second)
- Lot of new possible keys, but with joystick support who wants it!

Regards

Sans, this is truly great.

the best improvement for me is the zoom with a joystick axis. Because I have a seperate throttle I use the throttle axis on the stick to go in and out, it nice and smooth.

The biggest problem for me to date with this has been going to the bombsight view and having to constantly resize it. Of course I couldnt do that at all without your app.
The joystick axis means it only takes a fraction of a second.

Thanks!

OK, now that I have been playing around with it for a litle while I have one suggestion for a future update.

That would be to have some smoothing on the joystick axis. I use a CH fighterstick and while the throttle isnt moving, sometimes it gives off very small changes that result in a change of FOV which is a bit disconcerting when flying.

I will have a look in the CH control manager, I might be able to smooth it out there as well.

Thanks!

Mister San, I just want to say THANK YOU !!!

This little gem of yours has totally rejuvenated my experience of IL-2, and I mean, totally !

Thank you thank you thank you !

:D

Hi there.

I'm afraid I am having trouble getting this to work :(

It seems to detect that il2 is running and the start button is enabled, pressing it seems to do nothing.

I have made the changes to the Conf.ini and entered my IP address. I would be very grateful for any help with this.

I am using th2go with 3 1280X1024 monitors

Hi there!

let me first Thank you for this beutiful tool, i'm using it since a while and i won't do without it

i found it so wonderful i tried to promote it wherever i can without ask
accordingly to beer-ware policies :cheers (anyway i hope its ok)

i use several parallel installation of il2-sturmovik 1946
really, i never bugged with FOVC whatever the path to my il2sim,
but once i tried RC i noticed it works only with modded game

using il2FOVChanger_CR i tried the following
- 4.08m official (doesn't work)
- 4.09m official (doesn't work)
- Ultrapack 1.7 (works)
- Ultrapack 1.8 (works)
- Ultrapack 2.0cr (works)
- SAS Modact 2.2 (works)
- SAS Modact 2.1 + custom content (works)
- 4.08 + custom content (works)

where "doesn't work" means i'm having the same identical issue Metalstar said:
- start/restart seems to work then nothing
- i can see increasing/decreasing values in debug tab, but i have one only single step FOV change, then nothing more

i'm scratching by myself with this thing for days but i can't solve it

i can tell you the file "il2fb.exe" which works is the "russian noCD" ( 156 kb - MD5 5b7e802ad66e3e399dfd06292ad8c831)

when i use an installation with il2fb.exe (4442kb - MD5 f4bef9567355b429560622a2ada0b9c1 ,,,, the stock/original executable)

i tried then using FOVC 1.058 and everything worked like a charme with both the executables

am I the only one having these issue ???


i use switch between parallel installation using a beer-ware tool i built last year http://il2sim.isgreat.org/j/index.php/downloads/9-utilita/59-rfc-lalternativa-a-gme-esiste-ed-e-qui.html
(it does a kind of "three cards game" with folder renaming )

one of my friends has built another swithcer which is smarter than mine, redirecting HL calls the the selected il2 environment http://www.acebus.com/il2switcher/ i found it hangs with FOVC: when i use both FOVC lags a lot, i think its because both have an open tcp port looking for il2fb.exe ... isn't it ?

i hope i wrote useful debug infos, if need for more just ask me what needed i'll do my best

tomorrow i'm going to leave for spend Xmas vacations with parents, but i'll be available to go deeper if needed;
let me keep the occasion to wish you all a Merry Christmas and all the best forthe incoming year

S!

I have the same result as radar and Metalstar.

The program seems to detect that il2 is running and the start button is enabled, pressing it seems to do nothing.
I have made the changes to the Conf.ini and entered my IP address

My window is XP SP2, DirectX 9.0c
with Microsoft NET Framework 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1 all installed.
I have tried IL2 1946 v4.07m and 4.08m official, both do not work.

Sorry if this is a noob question, if I want to run the game in 16:9, what resolutions are available, and where to select it? what FOV number should I use?

Please help.

To radar
> 4.08 + custom content (works)
Could you please let me know what custom content?
Thanks.
