Although changing the value in the file didn't work for me, just kept giving me an error on starting the game.
So been using the command to do this while in-game /gfxSetDefaultFOV <number>
However it would be really nice to be able to zoom in and out using the mouse wheel, something we expect from an MMO these days without having to ask for it.
Thanks so much!

I have something really specific that I'd like to do with the mouse wheel and /gfxsetdefaultfov, but I'm afraid that if I tinker around with this, I'll just break something.
Could someone please help and write something that I can paste into a text file bind? This is what I want.
Pressing the mouse wheel resets FOV to default 55.
Scrolling down once sets the FOV to 45.
Scrolling down a second time sets the FOV to 35.
Scrolling up once sets the FOV to 65.
Scrolling up a second time sets the FOV to 75.
This very simple setup is all I want. I've discovered that these are "just right" values for me in various situations/environments, and deviating outside of them basically gives me a headache and/or makes me want to hurl. Although this setup wouldn't accommodate close-up "glamour shots" and wide-pan views, I have decided to use specific key-press bindings for those shots as they're much rarer for me. What I'd like the mouse wheel to accommodate on-the-fly are the changes I seem to be making most often in the game.
If the mouse press reset isn't possible, then maybe write the bind so that a third scroll (in either direction) resets the camera to default.
If anyone can do this for me, thank you in advance!

my only concern is if cryptic decided to do a file check and consider anything changed as a violation of the TOS.
i dont consider it cheating and i see nothing wrong with it, but automated systems dont care.
. . . . . Editing the game-generated keybind file(s), exporting and importing them is a standard practice and part of the way the keybind (shortcut) system works in Cryptic Games. This is totally acceptable and is something encouraged to be utilized, for that is how the system works.
. . . . . Type, /bind_save and in your game directory will be created a file for you to edit and then import by typing /bind_load - you can also specify the file name by doing /bind_save_file name.txt and /bind_load_file name.txt - edit the files with Notepad and save them as .txt files if using the latter _file command and if using the prior method save them in the same format they are made in.
. . . . . As well, just a few posts up, I pointed out how a Developer responded to this very thread about the legitimacy of editing the keybinds in such a way.
Inspect Mode uses CamZoomIn and CamZoomOut on the mouse wheel, which the aliases are overriding. To restore this functionality, try adding these lines to CommandAliases.txt:
alias enterinspect "camTogglePlayerInspect $$ bind b exitinspect $$ bind wheelplus CamZoomIn $$ bind wheelminus CamZoomOut"
alias exitinspect "camTogglePlayerInspect $$ bind b enterinspect $$ fov55"
And type these lines in chat:
/bind Middleclick "fov55 $$ bind b enterinspect"
/bind End "gfxsetdefaultfov 55 $$ bind wheelplus CamZoomIn $$ bind wheelminus CamZoomOut $$ bind b camTogglePlayerInspect"
Clicking the mouse wheel now will start the FoV scroll mode (and set the FoV to the default value of 55), and pressing the End key will reset things back to normal.
I kind of tested this.

. . . . . This is a glorious thread, indeed! Have others devised or used the means to change the field of view or add scroll capabilities through the methods devised here? Please feel free to give and share your input or even your own experimentation results! Mayhap, the info here shall one day be compiled into a much nicer format. For now....

Ah, good stuff being able to change FoV there.
With STO I think 80 looked good on ground, in space was HAMSTER. Since latter isn't a problem here, will try 80 out here.
Default FoV is not the best with nVidia surround
There really should be an ingame option to adjust the FoV...
there is
try this in chat
/gfxsetdefaultfov 55 (/gfxsetdefaultfov 75)
If only there was a possibility for player to just use the mouse scroll wheel.

Create a txt file called CommandAliases.txt. Paste this into the txt file.
alias fov20 "gfxsetdefaultfov 20 $$ bind wheelminus fov25"
alias fov25 "gfxsetdefaultfov 25 $$ bind wheelplus fov20 $$ bind wheelminus fov30"
alias fov30 "gfxsetdefaultfov 30 $$ bind wheelplus fov25 $$ bind wheelminus fov35"
alias fov35 "gfxsetdefaultfov 35 $$ bind wheelplus fov30 $$ bind wheelminus fov40"

alias fov90 "gfxsetdefaultfov 90 $$ bind wheelplus fov85 $$ bind wheelminus fov95"
alias fov95 "gfxsetdefaultfov 95 $$ bind wheelplus fov90 $$ bind wheelminus fov100"
alias fov100 "gfxsetdefaultfov 100 $$ bind wheelplus fov95"
Save the txt file. Place it in Cryptic Studios>Neverwinter>Live>Localdata
Then in game type:
/bind wheelminus fov55
Spin your mouse wheel down to activate.
You now have zoom. Shouldn't need to do any of it again after initial setup.
works like a charm! thanks!
Watch this tips video. I believe he shows a command right in game how to change it.
Thanks so much!

Only downside is you can go first person when you press B now.
Works well but now how do you undo it?
