Imagine a triangle between your eyes and both sides of the screen. With monitors you are sitting in the real world and the monitor(s) are your window(s) into the virtual world. ![]() With VR it's so much easier to set everything up. With their experiment they confirm what I've been saying for years, the FOV is extremely important, but only works with the correct sitting position, which you can also adjust.Īs I have no problem with VR I love driving it, I look down slightly, position the seat position so that the virtual driver's seat belts line up with my body and everything fits. Tried this on a couple of other PCs and it's always the same. With higher FOV you will start to understeer everywhere. When your FOV is really small it's incredible how much faster the car gets w/o even trying. Now make your FOV something like 65 and pay special attention to the behavior of the car, especially through Ascari. Then switch to your preffered FOV to get rid of the narrow field of depth effect (even by doing that you will notice the difference). Bring your FOV to whatever FOV calculator says and do 3-4-5 laps at Monza and check you time. Originally posted by Olduvai:When we are talking about FOV here is a fun little experiment for all of you. So dont think you have to stick to a number because some calculator said thats right i think most would be happy somewhere between 40-60(try going up or down 5 at a time then dial it in once you find something close to what you enjoy/feel good driving) on ACC keep in mind not every sim using the same type of FOV so the numbers will differ on every game I honestly dont believe your going to make any huge gains off of having some special fov number the calculator told me 27 is what i should be using and that is not playable for me im sure this is because i played at the default 54 fov for hundreds of hours if your someone who played with a lower fov alot or maybe have a smaller monitor or something than a lower fov could work better its just trial and error. In the end its going to be what you adapt to better for me when i lower my fov to around 45 i literately drive right past braking zones and off the track it also feels very slow like the car does not accelerate anymore after 50 mph. Higher fov stretches the track out a bit straits seem longer speed feels faster on straits corners seem less sharp can see more stuff around car feels less shaky/bumpy hills are a little less noticeable or smoothed out seeming. The best way i can put it is lower FOV on ACC will basically zoom in a little but also makes the track almost shrink up straits seem shorter less track between corners and corners seem sharper hills seem bigger bumps are more noticeable and shaky also can cut out some scenery/trees/buildings also on straits the sense of speed is non existent but seems faster around corners sense corners appear sharper. Personally i like a more dashcam like view i use the cockpit cam (not the helmet one) 52 fov and zoom the distance forward so the cam is kind of in a more dashcam like view and turn the wheel and hands off(my own wheel and hands line up) also usually raise it up a touch so i can see the hood a little. If your hitting your braking zones and hitting the apex the way you want then your settings are good for you more or less. ![]() Its totally possible to run without them but they sure do help.Įdit: Photo turned out a bit crooked but you get the id.Yea i think FOV is very personal preference based. Theyre probably the same people who say correct fov isnt important.Īnd I guess in a way it isnt, and your brain will adapt to it over time.īut driving on a setup without correct fov is kinda like running without running shoes. I hear so many people say correct fov doesnt feel good or natural for them and I always immediately wonder what size monitor theyre running and how far they placed it from their head. I turn my steeringwheel ingame off because it feels superweird looking at two steeringwheels. Set to mathematically correct fov and then adjust your seating position to make everything line up. The most important thing you should be aiming for is that objects on your screen are the correct size and distance away from your eyes and irl steeringwheel. Its basically the same as when Im wearing my Reverb G2. I have a 48" 21:9 and even though I race in VR, running mathematically correct fov feels perfectly fine on my screen as well. ![]() Try to put your monitor directly behind your wheelbase/wheel and keep the middle of the screen level with your eyes for the best results.įrom there it will feel much more natural to run correct fov, especially with a 21:9 monitor. Correct FOV starts with monitor placement.
