FOV camera adjustment (real zoom)

[redrum]

Camera focal length setting would be nice. Since we use the build camera for making youtube videos, it would be great to have variable FOV adjustment.

This would allow for very tight photographic shots with a telephoto lens feel. Or very wide shots for dramatic close-ups.

Perhaps there's some technical reason why this can't be done, such as draw distance or similar, but still... it would be very cool to be able to zoom in for real.

A FoV slider is a much needed option imho. The FoV on the coaster cam is pretty low which can cause motion sickness to people, as well makes coasters feel slow.

Basically, every digital 'camera' has a FoV value, it's just a matter of allowing us to change it. The tegidcam cheat has a variable FoV which is great for pictures.

Ah, ok.. I did not know that FOV could be changed in the tegidcam cheat. Good to know. Wider angle would be nice with that camera, and the ride camera as you say. Looks like the widest is equivalent to about a 35mm camera lens, but I'd like wider!! (Edit - after careful measurement it looks like we have an equivalent 20mm camera lens, or about 84° horizontal FOV. I'm keen to see this increase with a slider option to at least 100° FOV).

Been wanting an FOV slider for ages. Especially for the coaster first person view.

I'm sure it isn't hard to implement (inb4 a dev coming here telling me how wrong I am [big grin] ) but I think it is a choice we dont have it yet because wider FOV means more stuff to render and it isn't like the game is silky smooth yet. But the thing is, the current FOV is so small. It's actually not fun to look at. Same as the default first person view of GTA5 for example. It feels like you're looking through binoculars. In real life your eyes see much wider too so I dont see how we only get to see like 80 degrees of whats happening.

Having such small FOV also gives the illusion you are hitting the support beams and the tracks when you watch the first person camera.

A simple FOV slider is a must and it has been suggested so many times already I really hope we will get it. Just add it in the graphics options even. FOV slider (warning: too high FOV might decrease performance) and done.
