I just realized this problem in game (I was at work at the time I first posted). When I switch from cockpit and chase view, the perspective of the objects changes completely, it's crazy. I'll post a comparative later.

That should fix your problem.

Code:

[WinCamera]
fovx = 63.504809977813375

[CockpitCamera]
fovx = 72
znear = 2.000000

[ChaseCamera]
fovx = 90


[DeathCamera]
fovx = 90

In fact the "faulty" view was the cockpit view. You can see that if you "move" a planet to the side of your screen - it will become egg-shaped.

After testing some things it occurs to me that the cockpit camera is the only camera you can effectively change with the cameras.ini . You can technically increase the fovx to 120 and you will get a very strange view where you can see much but where it is nearly impossible to play.

All changes on the ChaseCamera did nothing.

Also remember your cockpit can depend on where the 'centre' of your ship is. Try it on a Train. The cockpit is actually behind those little lights on the engines. Made me wonder at first till I remembered the issues with trade lanes etc.

If you install it and mistype a value or leave a field out it will mess up. If you try to use the control panel to adjust it afterwards it will mess up too. You have to launch to space once each time the game starts before you get the effect.

It's like editing your windows registry--don't do it if you aren't comfortable with that sort of thing. I use it and have no problems.

Now i use these prefs for the cameras.ini:

[WinCamera]
fovx = 64

[CockpitCamera]
fovx = 72
znear = 2.000000

Chase- and DeathCamera u can delete, i did so and it doesnt effect any differences.
I have to live with the fact, that the size of all objects is 10-10 % too high, but it doesnt matter, because the great screen.
Thank u all for the help.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

Would these values work for a 1920x1080 resolution monitor, or would I have to alter them to get it to look right?
