Thanks R8 cleared it up nicely :)

These calculators want you to set it to 30 and shit like that , not that the AI I race against give a rats :)

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.

FOV comes down to what you like to see when racing.

There's also cFOV, oFOV, nbFOV, pgFOV, gFOV, bgFOV, mFOV, eFOV, uFOV, sfFOV

See how many you can guess :D

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

Yep, the only "true fov" solution is VR :)
