Perfectly clear english from me.

I never really change the FOV, as it's something I never bother with.

What the Holy Fuck is FOV?

OK this is a AC thread and Rod's pic of the leisurely driving position of the above lass has given me a clue. Field of View? Fishbowl type shit?

Flinty will explain it to you and why yours is probably wrong, and give you the mathematical equation for getting it right.

Oh FFS!!! :lol:

Richo don't listen to them & make you're own judgement wrt to FOV. For single monitor set-ups it has to be a compromise & I get why some racers can't run a low FOV.
Even for my single screen setup I have to widen the FOV from what is my RealFOV. I honestly can't remember what I run in AC as I haven't been playing it for quite some time.
But if you have triple monitors I feel there is no excuse for not running your RealFOV.

If you want to know more & understand the theory, I'll leave these here for your digestment. :p

Fired up AC late this arvo, I set mine to 45 from default FOV of 54.
iirc using a RealFOV calculator it says to set it at around 17 which is just ridiculous for single screen but like I said if I had triples it would be ok.
Oh I also adjust my seat position further back to recover some peripheral vision. ;)

iirc Project Immersion is all about sFOV (SuperFOV) which is a true 1:1 recreation, using huge screens (typically using projectors).
I can't remember if that calculator is for tFOV or sFOV. TrueFOV is what should be used for single & multi-monitor setups.
I think they end up pretty much the same in the end but there is subtle differences between them.

Well, I have Rift FOV and while relatively narrow, it is perfectly 1:1.
