How can I change the field of view setting?

Is there a way to change the field of view setting of the game? Some people (including one of my friends) have problems with some FoV settings, resulting in serious nausea and headaches. The game would be much more enjoyable if he could set it to a value that doesn’t make him feel really sick after playing for a couple minutes.

The fov can be slightly adjusted by camera zoom. There is a slider in option that control the max zoom out distance, set it to max and you get pretty much widest fov range of settings you can get

That only adjusts the camera position, not the angle of the camera view. The angle is causing problems in the brain for some people, similar to motion sickness.

Are you saying to reduce the FOV or to switch to an entirely different viewmode? The former is possible, the latter isn’t.

Just field of view. Ideally what I hoped to find is a FOV slider in the options menu (or entry in config file), so people can test themselves which angle works for them and doesn’t make them sick. I have no idea whether it needs to be lower or higher. It’s probably different for different people.

Field of veiw and camera angle are 2 compleately different thing, we already told you how to change fov, it is manipulated by zoom

I was talking about this angle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view

It’s the same as field of view, which is measured in degrees.

 

Anyway, maybe I’m too stupid to find the right setting. The only thing I found was under “Game”. In the middle there is a slider “Maximum camera distance”.And it does exactly what is says, it changes the distance between camera and ship, which is not changing the field of view. This picture explains how changing the field of view would look like (I had to look it up, because I have never fiddled around with these things before)

the canera distance in this game is also scaling the fov(but not that much)

Frigates have an FOV of 90, fighters of 100 and interceptors of 110 (as far as i remember it correctly).
