Default. It says 74 in the greyed out box.

145 for a triple scren setup, which for the most part matches that of other flight sims I play.

106, but interested in other folks perspective on what works best with a single monitor as I haven't evaluated different options. ....most seem to be using 106, maybe because it's what we're used to from AH2.

115 single screen
145 triple

Works just fine for me, because I have no hope of actually getting an opponent to a position close to my mil rings.  Oh well.  I'm just here for the wine tasting.

108. Played AH2 at 115.  Changed the FOV a few times anywhere between 90 and 115 and think I have it right for me (subject to change)

Does the FOV setting affect frame rate?

Im sure it can. The more things in your view the more that your card has to process.

hmm not sure.  I certainly have not noticed any change in FR but I run 130 to 144 most times.  Except TT when lots of GVs are there and then it drops to 120

AH3

Yes. I have an Acer i3 Notepad (no vid card) I can play on, sort of. At the default of 80, the frame rate's almost playable but I can't see squat. At 106, forget about it. I compromise at 96. I can view the terrain and kill the drones but I'd never try online with that device.
Easy in-game again.

On my computer increasing the FOV did not reduce the frame rate... it actually increased it slightly.  Best to just try it.
