Cockpit view
« on: December 23, 2014, 11:14:22 AM »
I won't claim to be an expert on views though this picture seems to have more peripheral view from the 190 cockpit. If accurate, could this be updated at some point. The current view in the 190 seems more tunnel vision.

Ahhh, artist rendition. Just because he drew it like that doesn't mean that is what it looked like.

True, though peripheral for those with great eyesight (aka, pilots) extends past 90 degrees off center. Further for many. Our current vision is likely 30-45 degrees.

It may be far more difficult to extend periphery when it comes to coding though expanding that even 10-20 degrees past current would be great. In any case, hoping for more info.

Change your field of view in video options on the game launcher

The field of view in the pic is about 150 degrees. You can set that in AH but you won't like it unless you have triple screens. My monitor appears to be about 45 degrees of my field of view from where I sit. Setting my FOV to 45 is like looking through a window. It's very natural but I don't want to always fly looking through a little window so I set my FOV to 120 and zoom in for "normal vision", zoom off for wider vision.

Heck the 190's views are great compared to the caged 205, be greateful for what you got. I'd like to see the future model updates of other rides, for better or worse to be in line with dimensions of canopy frame.

Also the wings are missing for that view angle.  It looks like a wide angle cockpit on a narrow angle picture.
