This add-on aims to fix the FOV of pistols while aiming.
!!!THIS IS DEAD!!!
What does this do?
This add-on aims to fix the ADS (aiming down sights) FOV of all pistols in Dead Air. I noticed that using pistols in Dead Air caused your view to zoom out dramatically, which was very annoying, especially when trying to engage targets beyond 25 meters. The add-on works by changing the scope_zoom_factor in the weapons' .ltx files from 100 to 65. When aiming, your vision will zoom very slightly in order to copy the effect of closing one eye when aiming.
Is it save compatible?
It should be, but I make no promises. Due to it being a simple configuration edit, it shouldn't affect your save games. This is not compatible with other add-ons that modify the weapons in Dead-Air.
Important Note:
This was tested with an in-game FOV of 55 and a weapon FOV of 0.45 on a 16:9 1920x1080p monitor. This may not work properly on other FOV settings, aspect ratios, and/or resolutions.
!!!DISCLAIMER!!!
I am NOT EVEN a novice when it comes to modding so this add-on might have issues. All I did was change a simple value in the .ltx files of the pistols in Dead Air.
Thanks man this works like a charm! :D
Tested on:
FOV 70
HUD FOV 0.45
Good to hear! Thank you for your feedback!

Thanks!
Nice addon, just a little advice:
Rename the download file of the next version, because your actor patch mod and this one here is named simply "gamedata.7z" and it's better and easier for everyone to have clearly identifiable file names. Otherwise good work!
Great addon, this was seriously needed thank you!
The one thing I would say is that a few other weapons need this 'fix' other than the pistols, like the sawn off mp-133 as an example (probably many others but I haven't played with too many yet) which still suffer the 'zooming out' at any less than 75 FOV. Any chance of a fix for those yet?
I'll see if I can fix those weapons for you. No guarantees I'll be able to, however.
I came here to ask just that XD though I wanted to ask, which values did you change? half the code comments are in russian (as always) and I can't figure out what affects the camera FOV...
I need the same tweaks
Is there a way to make a package containing all weapon.ltx file?
I would like to change the scope_zoom_factor to my current FOV but I sadly have no clue of how to get those file in the first place
I could use such package as well
You can download the Dead Air Unpacker and get the full database from the .dbl, just be aware that whatever you have on gamedata will overwrite the content on .dbl upon unpackaging (you'll understand when reading rules for the unpacker)
This mod just zoomed in my TT 33 so it took up half of the screen... I changed 60 to 3.5 in the .ltx and got the effect I think this mod was going for
The new update changed the FOV for... something different. So yeah, gotta manually change it all until a fix comes along
