Correct FOV is important because having it wrong will mean corners on tracks and distances will be skewed throwing off branking distances etc. The idea is simple, your monitor should act as a window through which when you look at the dashboard, mirrors and track ahead it is not `stretched` or `distorted` in anyway. Which will screw around with your perception even worse than a too-narrow fov!Ĭorrect FOV for racing games whilst in cockpit is far from `junk` and there is such a thing as `perfect` FOV for driving.
Too wide a field of view will render you feel faster than you actually are going. Those statements are totally not going to help anyone trying to emulate real driving. Things like: (("I need ultra-wide angle for 'sensation of speed'!!!")) are: RUBBISH. in a fast drift (not talking about show-drifts with exagerated angles, but fast driving with skidding involved). Ultimately: you should never run a too low fov that cuts out the direction where your car is navigating towards i.e. On the other hand: too narrow a fov will compromise your situational awareness and the ability to position your car, pinpoint your location whithin the width of the track You ultimately want to be able to see far enough into the distance in order to actually see where you should be going at speed. It is always - and will always be - a very personal decision and a compromise. There is no such thing as "the perfect" FOV. I can only encourage to take Michael's word for it.
