You can't do that. It is nature of the rectilinear projection that it 
can not display more than 160°. Even 120° looks strange. 

The only thing you can do is to crop to get rid of the strangest 
parts of the image. Or you extract two or three rectilinear views, 
one of the left side and one of the right side (and one of the middle 
eventually). In your example try setting output HFoV to 100°, VFoV to 
80° and Yaw to 0, -50 and -100.
