So I got this game for PC when it went live on steam and noticed that not only the field of view was really low but that there weren’t any mods readily available to fix it. So I made one myself.

I update all of the FOV values for infantry and vehicles to 90 for first person and 85 for third person. I moved some camera locations so the camera didn’t feel like it was five feet behind the character with the higher FOV values.

For reference the default values are 70 for first person and 65 for third person.  Some vehicles have a much lower value like the Hailfire tank which had an FOV of 45 with a obstructive overlay.

Vehicle cockpit overlays had to be removed because they don’t scale with FOV and as a result leave a box in the middle of the screen.

FOV can’t be raised above 90 due to severe wall clipping and texture errors.

I can't attach the file to this post but I have a moddb page with SIDE files and installation instructions.

If anyone knows of any other FOV mods could you please let me know.  I wasn't able to find any but maybe I was searching the wrong things.  If I wasted 14 hours of my life setting up virtual machines just to get bfbuilder to work it would be great to know.

Hello,

I just picked up SWBF1 on Steam and it's a lot of fun.  The FOV is really low and I haven't been able to find and FOV mods or launchers to fix it so I'm going to try and fix it myself.

I'm thinking about a launcher that allows users to choose an FOV setting at launch simmilar to how many STALKER mods handle FOV.  If anyone knows of a mod that already does this please let me know, maybe my search skills aren't very good.
