One thing is still not clear to me. Let's assume I found a way to cover a 180deg FOV with one projector (I have not... so don't ask). How do I tell MS-Flightsimulator to create a 180 deg view?
Is that possible? What is the maximum angle? Where is this setting? Which file to edit?

This is a great question!

Anyone have answers to this one?

[Matt Olieman]

You can't, most you can get out of one window is 105 degrees. Unless you do multiple windows.

Please take look at this thread

It is a way to do it

Maybe a little tricky, but still possible.

[Matt Olieman]

I don't think it's an actual 180 degree view. You might have a 180 degree screen.

I just got an e-mail from my fellow builder friend David C. Allen, I'm sure you know him He's much smarter then I am..... This is what he said:
-------------------------------------------------------------
If you use FOV = 2 x ArcTan (Image Width X 0.5 / Viewing Distance).
Per Steve Becker FOV.xls. If you used a zoom factor of 0.3055, or
(55/180) or 0.31, which just HAPPENS to be the lowest zoom in FS, you
would be at 180 degrees

MSFS can generate it, it's just hard to view it without a curved screen.

I think he right, what do you say?

Ok... I see... 105deg... 180deg... 2x90deg...but there is still this question:

Where in the MSFS do you set the FOV value??? Where do I have to edit ? Where do I have to change settings?

If you're asking where in the config, I don't know. What I do, is using the "+" or "-" keys, save my settings and it's done. Maybe I misunderstood the question.....

[superconnie]

I think my question is too basic You know, I may have a great cockpit project but when it comes to the software I am an absolute beginner. I hardly know some keyboard commands.... Everything I managed to do was to assign all kind of buttons and joysticks.

You press the "+" and "-" buttons where...? In the settings of the MSFS? (I have FS9...)

You enter this via the keyboard Christian.

In FS9 it is "-" to zoom out and the "backspace" key to zoom in.
