FOV Change On Velocity Exceeds (Helicopter Config Oddity)
New, NormalPublic

Description

When you pilot a helicopter and exceed a certain airspeed, your FOV becomes noticeably smaller. This decrease in FOV is very jarring from a piloting perspective in both first and third person. It makes it much harder to judge distance, velocity, and dimensionality at a glance. Intuition and muscle memory for those who've flown a specific airframe extensively get thrown out the window, it's very annoying.

Steps To Reproduce

Take up any helicopter in the game. Pilot it faster than about 30kph and you will immediately notice a rather sudden decrease in FOV (looks like you've zoomed in). Here's an example:

Additional Information

This is an issue that I have confirmed could be resolved with a small config change.

class CfgVehicles
{
    class AllVehicles;
    class Air: AllVehicles {
        class ViewPilot;
    };
    class Helicopter: Air {
        class ViewPilot: ViewPilot {
            speedZoomMaxSpeed = 0;
            speedZoomMaxFOV = 1; //this value is default 0.75 in the update, value of 1 restores expected behavior
        };
    };
};

This is a download link to a PBO which fixes this issue for those who find it insufferable like I do.
