How do I set the default fov to something other than 90?

I use a wide screen monitor and need to set the default fov to 105. I can type 'fov 105' in the console after gzdoom starts, but I'd like to set 105 to the default fov so I don't have to do this everytime I start gzdoom. I tried creating an autoexec.cfg with the line 'fov 105' (without quotes) and starting gzdoom with the +exec autoexec.cfg, but this doesn't work.

Hmmm, you're right. I just added "fov 180" to my working autoexec.cfg setup and GZDoom simply ignores it (the other commands work just fine as usual though).

If this is deliberate and not going to be changed, something that would speed up the process for you would be to bind a key to changing the FOV to 105. Then a single keypress would be all that was needed.

[edit]Interesting. Maybe it's a game initialisation thing. If you add -warp 01 to the command line to go straight to a map, a fov value in the config file does work.[/edit]
