    I see alot of good screenshots on the community screens thread, and alot of them are zoomed in, different FOV etc.
    I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to do this, because I love making screenshots :p

    Press F1 in game to see the controls.

    The Number Pad controls the options you seek.

    Open console and type

    setfov(xx)

    Where xx is your fov angle in degrees. I actually found that by trial and error long time ago.

    Ex. Fov of 30

    Setfov(30)

    Have fun making nice screens.

    No, that brings the camera closer to the vehicle, it doesn't actually zoom like a real camera would, I'm looking for an actual zoom in effect.

    I forgot to say that change fov works only in freecam. If you typed the command while in standard camera (orbit around vehicle) nothing happens..

    FOV stands for field of view. When the camera is moved closer to the vehicle, it's actual field of view stays the same. When the field of view is adjusted to be less, the camera is not moved closer, it just has a smaller field of view. I don't fully understand it myself, but that's what I can make if it. Forgive me if I'm wrong.

    I'm not the guy who wanted to know how to change it, but yes, I did.

    You're asking for Depth of Field/Focal Length right?
    It possible with the PostFX options under 'DOF', but I can't quite figure out how to get near blur...

    It has nothing to do with depth of field, I just wanted to know how to change the Field of View and how to zoom in the camera (as in, actual zoom, as if the picture were taken from far away)
