Your Point of View

It would be great to get people's opinion on what has worked best in terms of setting up their view. I'm at at 25 fov so know there are limitations, however couldn't believe how much pitch could change the whole feel of things.

Made tight corners and exits feel so much better but at the cost of entry points and apexes.

I'm now just more confused so would love some pointers.

Cheers,

 

I understand everybody have their preferences, but 25fov is just beyond overkill regardless the size of your screen. In my humble opinion don't go down the 40 value for this game.

Just use around 45 or so and bring the camera position towards you as much as you see it fit, but don't go that narrow on fov.

 

I play with fov 40, and it seems ok.

 

I use 50 FOV, but I'm using a 65"TV. Seems to work OK for me.
I also move the camera position forward, raise it up higher (otherwise feels like I'm sitting in a bathtub), and also pitch down a bit.
I like to see the full/complete information/readout from the dash. Don't like when it get's trimmed at the bottom if I move the view too far forward.

Biggest trade-off I find is the view to the left corner of the car. I like the seat back a bit so I can just get a glimpse of the left mirror. But often this results in the seat being way too far back. Then, moving a bit forward is useless because the A-pillar (or whatever it is called) is so obstructive, you don't really see anything anyway. So I end up moving the seat more forward to get the best view I can just from the front window, and still keep the full dash display in view.

 

I play with fov 40, and it seems ok.
Camera little move forward, and higher.

 

The FOV setting depends on your screen size, ratio, and how far it is from your eyes.

with a 49 ultra wide samsung screen, at 120 cm from my eye, i have setting the FOV at 30..

With this realistic fov i don't see mirrors...

that's why I switched to VR

 

29", dashcam 17 fov. little extreme, but since i drive ac with triple - love the immersion

 

With triples, I use 26 fov, the mathemetically correct fov for my setup. I usually only put the height a few clicks up so I can see the road better. I don't use the pitch settings at all tbh.
