- Aeghnor4 years agoNew Scout@Hansenhaus If it's -0.65 then it would be -13 in game.

@AeghnorWow! That is just about zoomed in all the way. Are you sure?

Just tried a quick test with it at -12. As expected it totally messed up my depth perception of corners and distance. My driving was horrible. I could not see apexes either so I had to increase the look to apex to 10 to compensate. It will take time to get use to it. The weird part is the car feels like it is in slow motion with the FOV at -12.
- Aeghnor4 years agoNew Scout@Hansenhaus If you got -0.65 then yes. -13 would be correct value. You can always play with horizontal offset a bit.
- Aeghnor4 years agoNew Scout@Hansenhaus It's not slow motion. Correct FOV setting will do that. It's interesting as i don't use look to apex at all. I found it distracting and messing up my perception.
- ajobling19834 years agoRising Ace@Hansenhaus Yes thats why it’s best to use such a negative figure & why the e-sports guys do it. Makes the game feel slower so you can hit your marks better. Turning off motion blur also helps.
- Aeghnor4 years agoNew Scout@ajobling1983 eSports guys use T-cam view so FOV calculations mean nothing in that case. It's just using feeling. Correct FOV matters in cockpit view.
- ajobling19834 years agoRising Ace@Aeghnor Aye, i’m not talking about cockpit cam.
- Aeghnor4 years agoNew Scout@ajobling1983 We are talking about correct FOV so we are talking about cockpit cam only.
- ajobling19834 years agoRising Ace@Aeghnor Haha ok sure, the OP doesnt even use cockpit cam 👍
- ScarDuck144 years agoLegend@ajobling1983 Actually I use cockpit cam all the time. Cough supercars cough 😀

Wow. Adjusting the FOV has changed the cockpit view experience dramatically for the better. It took little time to adjust my timing but once that started clicking my lap times got better than ever. Crazy! The slower perception of speed definitely helps the timing of braking and getting on the throttle more accurately. Interestingly the perception of speed is much closer to what the visor cam looks like in the F1 broadcasts. I always thought the visor cam looks strangely slow on TV but now it makes sense. The scale of the world looks more accurate to me as well. From the tracks to the cars, it feels big. Love it! Had to go with the Look to Apex set to the max for now. I may dial it back as I get better acclimated with the FOV to reduce some of the shakiness in the camera. Thank you to the OP and others who chimed in on this.

@Hansenhaus I could have just googled the fov settings. But decided to put a post here as I know many players are aware off the FOV. Hoping someone would read it and try it and find the power FOV holds.,

Guess must be on holidays.. im sure it will be number 1 on his priority to do list

The best part is I am not spinning out on corner exits because with the FOV at -12 my brain now perceives the track correctly. It almost feels like the car has more mechanical grip. Really cool!
- allemands3114 years agoSeasoned VanguardI'm a little upset with this thread and those who posted the FOV calculators. I tried it, and it's presented a new problem for me...
Finding a new AI Difficulty because I'm wayyyyy faster now!!!!!
Everything above is spot on about how it seems to slow things down. The only issue I'm trying to get used to is something about it is * with my eyes and I have to pause to give my eyes a rest here and there, but otherwise, it's clearly made me at least 5 points and upwards of 10 points faster on an AI Diff. 10 may be a bit much, but I'm noticeably better for sure.
