Mounted remote-weapons on vehicles break the FOV
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In the Vehicle Showcase, I went inside the Hunter GMG, and then hopped into the Gunner's seat.
Instead of using the PIP, I decided to change to full-screen remote control of the weapon. I then hopped into the Driver's Seat. This broke the FOV, and it was as if my view was zoomed in - pressing, holding ot tapping the +/- on the NUMPAD didn't change the zoom. This was only fixed by changing back to the Gunner's Seat, with the PIP remote-control of the weapon (Without going fullscreen) - and then back to the Driver's Seat.

PS: If you jump out of the vehicle when the bug happens, your view will still be zoomed, but you will be able to zoom out with the appropriate key-binds.

Attached image shows the zoomed-in view. {F16767}

Steps To Reproduce

Definite steps to reproduce this issue:

  1. get into hunter OR IFRIT with hmg or gmg,
  2. move to gunner position.
  3. while holding "lock or zoom" (right click or bound to any other key), activate the gun camera.

You will need to bind "lock or zoom" or "optics" in a way that allows you to press "optics" while already holding "lock or zoom".

Observe that gun cam is now zoomed in completely and can not be zoomed out.

Steps to fix:

  1. Switch back to Gunners Seat again.
  2. Switch to Drivers Seat. Your view is now normal again.

I've had this problem, but have been unable to find a way to stop the stuck zoom. Changing to a new vehicle will fix it but that's not always an option.

I was unable to reproduce this bug.

Please let us know if you are still able to reproduce this issue in latest Developement build.

I have edited my previous comment to reflect the correct steps needed to replicate the issue. I was wrong about the zoom command. "lock or zoom" is the problem command. I have mostly encountered this issue while driving with a ps3 controller and I have many keys mapped to multiple commands which made it difficult to isolate the command at fault. I believe this issue would likely impact any zoomable turret.

I have just tested the Mk6 Mortar, and it also suffers from this issue, seemingly confirming my "any zoomable turret" hypothesis.

Updated repro steps.

this is fixed please mark resolved
