Field of view (FOV)
- Star Wars Battlefront 1 Field of View Enhancer (Mod DB, Nexus Mods) provides several preset files/folders that can be used to set the field of view to 90°, 100°, 110° and 120°, based on horizontal FOV in 4:3 mode. These FOV presets can be easily dragged and dropped into the root directory of the game for quick installation.
- The default 4:3 first person value of 70° corresponds to 86° at 16:9, 102° at 21:9 and 124° at 32:9. 48:9 requires at least 141°, unsupported by the mod.
- Cuts off the player viewmodel unless Widescreen aspect ratio fix is used.
