Field of view (FOV) | FOV can be controlled by FOV1 and FOV2 variables under the [CONFIG] section. FOV1 is used when your glider stands still ("zoomed in"), and FOV2 when your glider has achieved its maximum speed (not counting on-track boosts), which is usually a zoom out.Static FOV throughout the game can be achieved by assigning the same exact value to both variables. |
