Once again I come before the esteemed council of my peers.
Once again I have come to prove, beyond the faintest shadow of any doubt, that I am a silly ass.
Or maybe not, well here goes:
I looked up the SET FOV in the DBpro help guide, and it said that the default FOV was "360 degrees divided by 4." Well fine. I implemented the command, and zoomed in without a problem, then set my fov back to 90 (360/4 = 90.) But it’s too far! 90 is not the default Fov! Why did the help system lie to me? Why did it say 360 divided by four instead of just saying 90? What is the default fov?

The default FOV is 61.9621 - see Tutorial 11 on the Developer Network site (link is in the menu above).

Cheers,

With our species on the edge of extermination,
with no prospect but a horrible death,
we actually played games.

61.9621? Wow, that seems kind of arbitrary doesn't it? Thanx for the assist!

*comes back from reading the tutorial*
Do we have any idea when a command that returns the fov value will be added? That seems like a rather glaring omision.
