Thank you for the tips. I was using the fovmin and fovmax which had no effect until I added the fovtype="MFOV". This is what I have now which works on the first load of my scene.
<view hlookat="-150" vlookat="0" fovtype="MFOV" fov="120" fovmin="75" fovmax="130" limitview="range" />
What I need to solve now is a problem where the above limit have no effect if I jump to the scene using a hot spot or map point link. I jump into the scene using this within the hot spot plugin tag.
onclick="looktohotspot(spot1); loadscene(scene1, null, MERGE, NOBLEND);"
Anyway, I'm getting closer and thanks for the helpful tip on the MFOV value for fovtype.
