Field of view (FOV)

Set Camera FOV[citation needed]

Go to <path-to-game>\Objects\ Open ChaseCamera.xml in a text editor. Look for "Slow Camera FoV" value= and "Fast Camera FoV" value= FOV scales up as the car's speed increases. These two parameters set the minimum and maximum values respectively. Change the two values to the numbers you want and save the file. Graphical effects in the car's wake will look odd or outright glitched at higher FOV values. Only sets FOV during race gameplay; camera will suddenly switch to the new FOV when the "3, 2, 1" countdown has ended and the race starts.

Remapping

The game's controls cannot be changed in-game, but can be changed a Lua script

Change the file ControlScheme_TriggerPedals_RollStick.lua[citation needed]

Go to <path-to-game>\LuaScripts\ Find ControlScheme_TriggerPedals_RollStick.lua and copy it somewhere safe (just in case you mess up the file while editing it) Open the original (non-copied) ControlScheme_TriggerPedals_RollStick.lua in a text editor. This is the file that contains the controls for the game Change certain entries. For example, on line #36, just below where it says -- gas/brake, you can change it so W would be gas. For example, Original line: Input:BindAnalog("CarGas", KeyEnum.key_NOTAKEY, KeyEnum.key_UP) Changed line: Input:BindAnalog("CarGas", KeyEnum.key_NOTAKEY, KeyEnum.key_W) After you finish editing the file, save it and run Nitronic Rush.
