Is there any way I can lock the FoV (ALT+Scroll) at it's maximum setting? It's irritating as hell having it reset itself whenever you use the mouse wheel during gameplay or when you jump to a new system.

Hello darkness, my old friend.

That's not the FoV you're talking about, it's the zoom, and no there isn't a way to do that.

It used to stay.... a few dozen million patches ago, but now itll reset on its own. Its like Eve is really a woman with a mind of its own if you try to "update" her with new software.RollTwisted

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

Actually it's not. It's the zoom on your ship's camera. A change in FoV would mean your ship stays roughly the same size but the lens fisheyes so you can see more to the left and right. Eve doesn't even have an FoV setting in its graphics options, though it does automatically expand your FoV if you stretch out the client across multiple monitors.

If you expand the fow the center shrinks.

No, the center gets squished horizontally or vertically based on which FoV slider you're adjusting. That is *not* the same thing as zooming in and out, which is what your camera does when you move the scroll wheel in space.

If you were adjusting the FoV, even if you were adjusting both in proportion, your view would just fish-eye, rather than the proportions of your ship remaining the same and your view moving away.

However, if you hold Alt when using the scroll-wheel (which is what the OP was asking about) the effect is quite different...

Ah, I missed that, my bad, your are correct that is an FoV adjustment. Learned something new today :)

That said, my answer remains the same, there's no way to lock that setting to anything other than the default.
