How to use FOV calculator results value....???

[rana_kirti]

Hi,

So, i researched about FOV and after using a calculator online i got a result of 20.6 degrees for my 21:9 29" Ultrawide monitor with 80cm/32in distance from eyes.

https://www.fov-calculator.com/result/?f1=21_9&f2=80&f3=29&f4=1&f5=7

1.Now, how do i use this 20.6 degrees in game ACC...?

2. i use dashboard view without wheels/hands. Default current FOV in game "view settings" says 54 degrees. so i'm supposed to change this 20.6 degrees....? What really is 20.6 degrees ?

3. How does the 20.6 degrees from the calculator and the 54 degrees from the in game default co-relate to each other ?

4. also what is our default real world natural fov?

Thanks.

I don't think these are any good... I tried a lot and none of them was even close... Stick to 55 then fine tune.

If it’s curved try this

My guess is the height of your monitor is just not enough.

• Your 29 inch 21:9 has a height of around 30-31 cm.
• A regular 27 inch 16:9 monitor is around 35-36 cm.
• Even a regular 24 inch 16:9 is more with around 31-32 cm.

I might sound a little counter intuitive, but those widescreens aren't always the best solution when using correct FOV. You would think widescreens give a better view left and right. But in reality height is even more important. In theory a 16:10 monitor would be optimal.

• Move that monitor as close as you can. Try to reduce that 80cm to 40-50cm.
• ACC has 1) dashboard view and 2) cockpit view. Number 1 is a little closer to the windscreen. Give them both a try I'd say.
• Use those FOV calculators as a guideline. Adjust the end result so you have a comfortable view. But not too much.
