Anyone knows how to change FOV?

[Perceive the madness...]

I don't like the default settings of FOV

/fov ##

is it a console command or launch setting?

Console, must be ## or ###, from 90 (default) to 1xx

#TL;DR:
in q2_console:

fov 110

It works !

#Long version :
Hey `@Snarly Charley` it was a bit of a struggle for me as well.
I was following this page (which is a goldmine) : https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~portnoi/quake/quakeiicom.html#h-2
Yet as I was reading it I thought i needed to go like
in q2_console:

cmd fov 110

but it did not work (clue to me was it was posting a chat message from me in green in the in game chat)
then tried
in q2_console:

/fov 110
/cmd fov 110
/cmd /fov 11111111 g0dDämît for Jessus H christ's sake i want to see in turbo mode

but did not work ...
Then I tried simply
in q2_console:

fov 110

it worked (but only showed when I closed the console) ...

#Addendum
Turns out
in q2_console:

cmd fov 110

is not valid since this syntax is used in config FILES not the config console
like in q2_config.cfg:

cmd fov 110

Hope this sheds some light for people in dire need of a retro-ish 90ies oldies gaming experience down memory lane.

(be aware that modifying fov hides thee weapon ... I'm currently scouring the web to find a workaround ... very sad)
