FOV change?

[Hpt_Skelturoth]

Hi! Up to a certain point, my default FOV was 87, but at some point it got to be 73 by itself. Was there an update that brought this change or something else happened?

 

*I am aware of assigning the buttons/axis to change the FOV, as well as the reset button - I know how these things work, but I felt comfortable having mine at 87 default and zooming in and out as needed. 
I am also aware that I can set it manually to whatever value I want, I am just being curious about the default value change.
Yes, I did delete the entire LUA scripts folder and validated the Steam files.

 

Thanks!

I'm interested in knowing how to manually set the FOV too. Mainly the furthest zoomed out. 105 is current. I'd like to limit to somewhere around 90 though. Feels More natural. I know i will see less in a close up dog fight - but less fish eye effect would be welcome.

When in the aircraft use the mouse wheel to adjust the FOV then hit F10 to save the new setting for that particular aircraft.  After that every time you fly the aircraft the new FOV will be the defualt.  As you probably know the FOV is shown when you display the FPS in the upper right corner of the screen..
