Field of view (FOV)

Change FOV[1]
  1. Install FUEL: REFUELED.
  2. Go to <path-to-game>\FUEL_PATCH\Vehicles\
  3. Open VehicleParam.java with a text editor.
  4. The parameters to edit are as follows:
    • VehiclePP 512, 513 and 514 control the camera FOV for the widest/most zoomed out view. 512 is the closest value when the vehicle is stationary, and the other values control the FOV as the vehicle accelerates.
    • VehiclePP 545, 546, 547 works in the same way but is the closest view.
    • VehiclePP 413, 414 and 415 is the internal view.
    • Camera pitch/height is controlled by 542 and 544. If one of them is increased, the other has to be as well to flatten it out.
    • Distance is controlled by 539. The values near this range alter various similar stuff too, they are replicated for each camera. So 542 would be closest view, and would be 410 (for internal view) etc.

Notes

  1. Games for Windows - LIVE DRM features: Legacy activation, supports local profiles.
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/12800/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (12800) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
