You can cheat and place the camera very far away and then setting a narrow FOV. The effect is the same.

Else you have to hack the engine code. There is no script switch (AFAIK) to change the view

Here is an old topic about accomplishing it with the Advanced Camera resource.

so how do you set the camera to a narrow FOV? is there a camera.setFOV() function or something?
