Widescreen Gaming Forum

[UPDATE 31/05/2009]
I just have upload the new version (v.1.0.5.6 Beta)
The best innovation is the high speed activation/reactivation time (less than one second, some cockpits with only 200ms).

Download from:

For those who want to help. If you observe visual anomalies send me or post a debug tab screenshot and tell me the plane you were using
Hello:
I recently have done a program which enables change the maximum fov to IL2 so users with normal, wide and softTH/triple head monitors can play with this great game as they always have wanted to play.
You can watch the progress on my web:

[Update 09/05/2009]
San's IL2 Fov Changer Version 1.0 with english manual released!!
Visit my web to download
Updates:
- Autoactivate (no need to press ctrl+z)
- Autoreactivate
- Maximum/Minimum Fov limits
- And many more, read the manual before use it.

Regards

Triple monitor examples with 135 Fov

The web has the version 0.98 Beta but this weekend I'll try to post version 1.0 Beta which is easier to use with the english manual.

Please test it and feed back.

Regards
San

Sorry neosin,

but I didn't saw that this thread is named something like:
"will 'Birds of Pray' work with San's FOV Changer and will "Birds of Pray" released for PC?" - feel free to open your own thread...;)

Back to topic:

Please test it and feed back.

Tested it with IL2 1946 (4.08,AAA-Unifiedv1.1)in OpenGL / TH2GO digital@3840x1024 / Windows XP - .Net Framework 2.0/TrackIR4-6DOF

Works flawless without bugs for me.

Autoactivate and quicksearch option on (switched off the autozoom of the 6DOF mod)

Happily enjoying IL2 on a TH the first time!
Thank you San! :D

Sorry San, but it does not work for me. Neither version 1.0 nor .98.

Here is my error log from 1.0 on aVista 32bit system with Il2 1946.

Thanks for your efforts.

I have seen a strange bug in Windows Vista. It seens that my program can´t detect the primary ip. The new version I will upload after some more tests, in theory, fix it
But now you can do this easy process:

Open the fov changer pref.ini with notepad and write your local ip in the line between 1 and 1711 (in the example is 192.168.0.1). Save and test
110

If not works, send me more detailed information
