If you use an International keyboard the keys to change the FOV will not work. Open or search for the 'app.ini' file in the iRacing folder which is in the "Own documents" or "Personal documents folder. Open it in an Editor and change the FOV setting under "View" from 78 (standard) to anything between 45 and 110. Close and save the new app.ini file. You might want to make a back up of your app.ini file just in case something goes wrong.
