Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues

FOV too low

Create Tropico 5\CommonLua\test.lua

and add this:

OnMsg.ClassesPreprocess = function()
const.DefaultCameraRTS = {MinHeight = 12, MaxHeight = 40, HeightInertia = 4, MoveSpeedNormal = 40, MoveSpeedFast = 60, RotateSpeed = 6, LookatDist = 40, LowRotationRadius = 40, HighRotationRadius = 40, CameraYawRestore = 0, UpDownSpeed = 230, MinZoom = 8, MaxZoom = 16000, BBox = box(point(0, 0, 0), point(0, 0, 0))}
end

(for custom "fov" change MaxZoom , def = 8000)
