I saw toad post something about being able to change fov or zoom for the weapons and get high zoom for things like pistols... is this one of the exploits that's been "released" or is that being kept in secret still? I read a lot of threads looking for info on it but didn't see it... sounds like it could be entertaining pistol sniping

also toad thanks for toadvision.. I didn't care about the skins but increasing the view distance is killer :classic:

If you don't want the skins they are not needed to be installed.

About the zoom thing. Yeah I have it, and could release it. But I think i'll wait alittle while before I post it. When others begin to post their cheats then i'll post mine - but not until then.

haha yeah he's probably right. Not many guys out there banging away at it like you are toad. I wish I had a clue about programming so I could figure stuff out like that but unfortunately I'm just a lowly systems/network admin so I have to rely on my worn-out-from-always-staring-at-a-monitor eyes to see my targets ;)
And that's what I meant.. about not needing the skins and not having to install them. that was sweet.

there is a way to do that and its not a hack at all

go to C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings

renderer.fieldOfView 1 (use wordpad or note pad to edit)

The default is 1. Values between 0 up to 1 (e.g. 0.85) will give you a closer (zoomed right in) Field of View (FOV) than normal, while values over 1 (e.g. 1.5) will give you a farther FOV than normal. Experiment with values close to 1 to see if it suits you better than the default.
