Exactly my point.  The lower FOV increases the % screen covered by the cockpit frame as well as narrowed view.  SA is less with lower FOV.

Situational awareness is not increased when the cockpit bars appear to be smaller because what's behind the bars is smaller too. It's simply that you see more of your surroundings in each view direction.

SA is increased the more you can see and that's the fine line were all looking for somewhere between 80 and 110 lets say, more sky or more detail

HiTech thank you for the calculation. When you setup the Vive and rift will you use a default fov that would represent life size?

Yes they give you that information from the API.

But it is not as simple as just a FOV with the VR stuf you have a Angle to the Left and right of each eye.

Will you have a FOV recommendation for VR?  I've read that the subjective horizontal FOV is similar.

With the current implementation you can not change it.

Does it seem correct, in other words 'normal' to you?

Flying a P-51D at 80 and 90 put the top of my windshield at the very top of the screen. Also took a lot of the planes dash instruments out of the picture down at the bottom. So it made the cockpit way to big.
I made an adjustment of 100 and it was perfect. It looked like 80 in AH2. But tracers and all items outside the cockpit were just to small. I used magnification and that made outside the cockpit work but now the inside of the cockpit was to large. It hit the top and bottom of the screen again. I use TrackIR so I can get by with head movement in certain situations.
I appreciate the hard work y'all are doing and think you have done a super job. I thank you with keeping the game up to tip top industry standards.
AH is with out a doubt the best war time video game in the market.
Thanks again

The front view is tilted down by default so that you can see the instruments with the FOV set to 80. The forward view, keypad 8, is set to look over the nose and cover the view between front and front/up.

Since no FOV setting has any advantage over any other FOV setting per FLS, why would your SA improve?
