Field of View (FOV)
The Field of View can be changed in Arma 3 Alpha & Lite by following the steps below.
- Go to
%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Arma 3 Alpha
or%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Arma 3 Alpha Lite
for the Lite version - Open
Username.Arma3AlphaProfile
orUsername.Arma3AlphaLiteProfile
for the Lite version in Notepad. - Search for "fov". There are only 2 lines that contain fov near the bottom. They are:
fovTop=XXXX;
fovLeft=XXXX;
fovTop is vertical FOV
fovLeft is horizontal FOV
- Use this calculator to find your FOV values in degrees by entering your screen resolution.
- Convert these values from degrees to radians by entering "XX degrees in radians" in a Google search.
- Change fovTop to the value you have now, rounded to 2 decimal places.
- Divide your topFov number by the second number of your resolution's aspect ratio.
- Take the result of step 6 and multiply it by the first number of your resolution's aspect ratio.
- Change fovLeft to the value you have now, rounded to two decimal places.
- Save the file.
Some suggested FOV values in radians[1] for typical setups are:
Setup Type | fovTop | fovLeft |
---|---|---|
1920 x 1080 at 90 FOV | 1.03 | 1.83 |
1680 x 1050 at 90 FOV | 1.13 | 1.80 |
2560×1600 at 90 FOV | 1.13 | 1.76 |
