Default value: "90"
Saved to config.cfg: no

fov stands for "Field of Vision". Its default is "90" (degrees). That is how much you can see on the screen. If you set it higher, like 135, you would see more of the world, like viewing through a wide-angle camera lens. If you set it lower, like 45, it would produce the same effect as zooming in.

Most engines clamp the value between 10 and 170.

FIXME: Does the fov specify horizontal or vertical fov? (The other would be derived using the aspect ratio)
