Helicopter first person FOV/zoom issue


Been having an issue with helicopters since the jets update. Whenever I'm flying helicopters above a certain speed (between 18 km/h and 30 km/h depending on the airframe) my FOV gets significantly smaller / looks like I've zoomed in. It can be quite jarring, especially when slowing down to land as dropping below those speeds resets the FOV/zoom to default and judging distance etc becomes difficult.

I haven't changed any settings since so I don't think it was something I did but please correct me if I'm wrong.

We'll wait a few days for it to stabilize, then add it as an optional to our repo.

You won't be able to use it unless it is adopted officially.

Which aircraft on our servers are affected?

I've just tested the vanilla LittleBird, 3CB Apache, Merlin and Wildcat, all are fine (non @ace3 test).

It's a simple code fix for modders to add to aircraft so you'll probably see hot fixes coming soon, negating the need for any 3rd party patch.

Just came off the public now, Littlebirds are also affected. But only when flying from the pilots seat, co-pilot is fine for me

We did some tests this afternoon and have found that it is the ace3 g effects setting which is causing the problem for us. In non ace you won't see the issue.

Fortunately there is a very simple fix to turn off that setting on our servers, which should be done on their next downtime.

Yes, they were turned off on the public, as of Sunday's restart
