+ | {{ii}} [http://cinetools.xyz/games SWBF Cinematic Tools] can also be used to override FOV. | ||
+ | {{--}} Higher FOV values slow mouse movement. In addition, each vehicle has its own custom FOV modifier, which is a multiplier based on what you set. Due to this some vehicles, most notably the speeder bike are essentially unplayable at high (100-110) FOV values. It's recommended to lower the FOV while playing levels featuring those vehicles. Luckily it can be changed on the fly without a map restart. | ||

Field of view (FOV)
- This game uses vertical FOV. See FOV Calculator for help.
- SWBF Cinematic Tools can also be used to override FOV.
- Higher FOV values slow mouse movement. In addition, each vehicle has its own custom FOV modifier, which is a multiplier based on what you set. Due to this some vehicles, most notably the speeder bike are essentially unplayable at high (100-110) FOV values. It's recommended to lower the FOV while playing levels featuring those vehicles. Luckily it can be changed on the fly without a map restart.
