-{{ii}} Binds your numpad keys to different FOV values with 0 key resets FOV to default and 1 key triggers zoom.
-{{ii}} You need to run game at least once in order to generate necessary .INI files.
-{{ii}} You can bind your favorite FOV on F-keys simply by replacing "NupadPadXXXX" with "Fx".
-{{ii}} When rifle is equipped and custom FOV is set, rifle zoom is not behaving properly. Hit numpad zero key for FOV reset.

-{{--}} In Chapter 4 - Ropeburn and Chapter 6 - Pirandello Kruger skybox is not working properly if FOV is set to value higher than 100.
