What's your single screen pov

I have a 27 in monitor and sit approx the same again from my screen. I've been using x8 for a while but thought I'd try a few out. The official calculator says x5 but that is really close.

 

It's rare that people use the 'correct' FOV when on single-screen.
It's simply a matter of suddenly losing all of ones peripheral vision. You rarely see real racers running with blinders on.
I think I was running 0.7 when I was on single-screen (34" TV), and that was plenty close enough.

 

After a week and a bit adjusting to cockpit driving ive tried from .6 to 1.2, .6 is way too short, 1.2 way too long, have settled on .8 even that feels a little short. For me between .8 and .9 is about right.

 

I'm using the Default FOV @ 1.0 on my Single-Screen and the seat far back so that I can see atleast the left (or right) side-mirror. It's just a compromise to get a little focus on the apex without loosing to much of the peripheral vision. Really not easy on single-screen to get a bit peripheral vision...

 

How many FOV thread with exactly the same question do we need?

10

 

49" screen FOV set to 1.1 use to be 1.3 and I might go back to that but trying a closer FOV and so far it seem to work better

 

1.1 and using TrackIR on a 24" monitor

 

Administrator if you feel the need to delete or merge this thread please go ahead.

 

0.9 on a 21.5" monitor, with the Crew Chief app to tell me what's going on beside me.

 

I use 0.5 with 37" TV and EDTracker (a good and cheap Head-Tracker) and Crew Chief. Works pretty good!

 

Ed tracker, not heard of that.

 

0.8 on 23.5 inch screen.

 

0.8 on mine, big big projector screen sitting as close as I can. I don't use crew chief cos the voice is too sexy and distracting

 

24 monitor, 05 fov

 

when interested in headtracker you should watch some videos on YT. it works with many games. It doesn't need a camera, just USB-port on your PC. It's a small box that's attached to a hat or your headphones.
You can use Yaw, Pitch and Roll. TrackIR has same plus X,Y and Z axis movement, but costs 4 times the money (or even more if you chose DIY EDTracker)

https://www.edtracker.co.uk/ in the video at the main page you actually see R3E footage :-D

now i can look at the mirrors and to the apex AND can use 0.5 FOV... i love it.

Edit: I just noticed that they're selling a wireless version soon. great!

 

Sharing the love!

Just had a look and as soon as diy soldering blah blah was mentioned, that's me out

 

lol then get the assembled and ready to go version. no soldering etc required. just plug in and have fun.

 

Oh thank goodness for that lol
