Blazing Angels is great fun ... and the graphics are pretty good too.
Racer_S has made a FOV tool for this game ... :) ... he is a good man !

Download from here ... http://dl.tocaedit.com/baFOV.zip

and here ... Files available from https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files (search there)

Start the tool ...
Set the tool to about 0.01677 ...
Start the game ...
Once you are in the air press the * key to enable the FOV.

Sometimes the tool won't enable on the ground ... you need to be in the air ... flying.

EDIT : Just a quick note ...
Should the game crash on the fourth mission ... lower the View Distance setting to Medium in the Advanced Settings config.
This mission is graphically intense and visually awesome ... turning the view distance to medium it still looks stunningly good !

A point worth noting if you are going to mess with that setting above.
When tweaking the FOV with the + and - keys nothing changes until you use
the throttle either to accelerate or decelerate ...
I think this is because of the way the FOV changes with the aircrafts speed.
Anyway ... now that I have a pretty good setting for TripleHead that tweaking
should no longer be needed.

It still looks stunning even at medium ... this is easily the best looking arcade combat flight game I have played and the game play is excellent too ... I'm loving this game ... :D

Screenshots of the fourth mission ... a night time battle over London ... it's awesome ... :shock: ... 8)
With the View Distance at Medium ...
The FPS seem very low but in game it is not noticeable it all runs very smooth ...
I would never have guessed they were so low ...

The FPS are on the screenshots but it doesn't feel anywhere near as slow as they would suggest ...it is a great arcade combat FS

As I mentioned earlier even with the view distance at medium it looks stunningly good.

@paddy : Performance is the same with my 7900gx2 @ game version 1.02 .

But the game experience is not convincing me so I will not buy and play it. :cry:

Was hoping this FOV fix would work w/ Blazing Angels 2. Sadly, this is not the case.
