Skater XLprovides one of the best skating simulator experiences out there right now, but it isn’t without its limitations. Camera angles play a bigger part than one might initially think with regards to enjoying a skating game, so that begs the question; what are the best field of vision settings for the game?
Best FOV Settings in Skater XL
The first thing to note here is that everyone’s FOV preferences are different, but what is usually meant by this question is “how can I get the camera to be higher up?”
The second thing to note is thatSkater XLdoesn’t allow you to adjust the camera settings in its game through the base settings menu, but you’re able to change them through modding. We have covered a fewmodsin a list before, but today we will be covering the one to help you lift the camera so that it isn’t so low.

Low shots can look great for video parts, but you don’t always want to play your game with that kind of look as it can get in the way sometimes. Lifting the camera higher up can help you to see obstacles better and judge distance more accurately so you can time your tricks.
XL Graphicsby Babbohosted on theSkater XLmodding community website aims to let you change the FOV in freeplay as well as in the replay editor so you’re able to get things looking exactly how you want. In the camera section of the Babbo settings you will be able to adjust the FOV (camera height) and get your game looking the way you want.
You can change your camera to either aNormalset up,Lowwhich is already featured in the game,POV (Point of View)if you want a first person experience, or you can set it toFollowwhich has the camera shift upwards when you do your tricks. So, for example when you ollie, the camera comes up with the board which is better.
For these instances the best options are going to either beNormalorFollow, and then you will be able to change yourField of Viewusing the slider so that you can hone in or zoom out as much as you desire, to have either a wide view or a more concentrated view.
As covered in our previous mods article, you will need to access this by dropping the mod file into theUnity Mod Manager. There are plenty of YouTube videos that can guide you through this, or if you are a part of theSkater XLcommunity Discord then they can help you out if you get stuck.
