FOV: Field of View. Optimal/real settings?

At the present time is this feature not supported, so far i know.

The prob is about trackIR. The head rotation seems to be locked. You can´t turn your in-game "brain" 90° left and right....

Little demo for unknowing dudes:

 

you can try that

what do you think.........

 

Why do people have the screen so far away?
I have my 27" on an ergo arm so I can drag it quite close. The closer you can move your screen the wider a realistic FOV becomes.

TIR does help. That Arma vid looks cool but the limitation with 1:1 head movement is that he can't see behind him. Using greater than 1:1 is surprisingly easy to get used to.

 

What ergo arm do you have?

 

I'm sorry if it's already been discussed in the previous pages, but isn't TrackIR inherently incorrect as a technology? If the monitor is your "window" to the game world, and the monitor is an immovable object, if you turn your head left/right, you're not supposed to be able to see parts of the world you previously weren't able to, you're just moving your focus of attention to a different point in the world... What TrackIR is essentially doing is simulating as if the focus point is always staying in the center of the monitor, in other words, simulating as if the monitor is somehow moving together with your head. Isn't this prone to inducing nausea since it's completely different behavior than what our brain and eyes are used to?

With this for extra reach.

It's one of the best things I've ever bought. I can move my 27" monitor to any position and it just hangs in the air above my desk. Can't recommend them enough.

 

Wow. I was looking at the cheaper ones (clamp on desk upto 32" monitors). What's the 2nd item for, laptop?

No it's miss labelled on Amazon I think.

If you look at the first link it's just a duplicate additional second arm that works as a simple extension.

 

Got two of these...good for when i used triples, middle monitor was the only one on it's original stand.
Agree, they are very good.

 

Should this be fine? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018MT6ZEK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2K3WARBVMJ9U9

 

When I bought 29" 21:9 screen I wanted to see my left rearview mirror so I used higher fov. Then I realised it doesn't feel right so I started to gradualy lower fov value. Now my fov is at 29 and tweak seat position in every car individualy. I don't see almost anything to the left of A pillar, but the driving and feel is miles better. Funny that I bought ultrawide to be able to see more around me.

 

If it can make you feel any better, l have a 98 inch, 16:10 projected screen and I do not see anything to the left pillar either. But I feel (almost) like I am in real scale in the virtual car I am driving.

 

Is this close enough?


Was great on single with the screen there, again using an ergoton mount, but mine is the wall mounted one.

I had to move it back a bit to accommodate triple screen setup

This one is the wall mounted version

I was struggling for a few days to get my lines properly as everything looked differently. The only problem is 29" is so small after some use. Funny how you adjust so quickly.

 

you should try the triple screen app to adjust the fov, because according to this picture it doesnt seem that the world is represented 1:1. The virtual wheel is far too small, it should be bigger than the real one.
