I've been all over from 90 to 106.
90 My face seems way too close to the dash.
106 Not real bad, but I can't get used to it.
Sweet spot for me is 100.
This is on a single 22" monitor.
So, what is your preferred FOV?

106
24" monitor
About to go to a 32" 4K TV and check that out.

FOV @ 90 on an Asus MG279Q 27" 2560 x 1440 monitor
:salute

106 on a 40" tv but testing out 120 now. ww1 122
-
Tried a few different settings and settled on 105, on a 60" plasma.
-
60" plasma is more real than RL. wtg

I've learned to like the current default FOV @ 84 on a 30" 2560*1600 monitor. Makes me feel like inside the plane.

FOV 106 on a 24" Asus 144Hz monitor

I still haven't found one that looks like ah2. People say that 106 matches it, but then I can't see the gauges without zooming on them. I shouldn't have to zoom in on my altimeter. "Hey, why don't you use the alt and speed hud?" I dont like the hud info and keep it off. Part of what I like about this game is using the gauges in the plane.
If I go smaller, I can read about half the gauges without zooming but have to look down to see the rest.
If I go smaller than that (default), I'm back into the paper towel tube view.
I know about the new look down view, but at acceptable fov #s I still cant read them without zooming.
I think i left it at 99 right for now because I gave up on trying to get it how I want it, which seems to be impossible.

Using 120 on a 29" widescreen.

I'm using 106 on a 24inch monitor.

FOV is 106 on a 24" monitor at 1920X1080
-
103 degrees on a 32 inch 1366 x 768 monitor.

FOV 110 on a 34" 2560 x 1080 ultra wide monitor. Can't hit a damn thing no matter how close it's set, so set it for better SA. :old:

If you aren't already using the forward view you can set it to look at the instruments and map it to a button. The "forward" view is mapped to keypad 8 by default and it's an alternate front view.

Thanks, maybe I'll give that a shot Friday night. I didn't have to do any of that look down stuff in ah2, which is what I was going for. It looks like the new fov and dark gauges prevents that all around.

108 Asus g750

106.... 28" monitor 1920 X 1080 .

106 on a 39 inch tv

110 on a 23" monitor at 1920x1080

I kept it on default for sometime to give it a chance. 93 FOV is what I use now and did in AH2. In a 38, anything below 93 can leave a larger band of sky not covered when say looking back and up using Trackir.
Shooting is good without zooming at 93. 93 gives a good view of the instruments.

I like to set the forward view as a up/left so I can partially see around the nose.

If you use modes you can toggle the forward view between over the nose and gauge views.
You can also use modes to set over the nose to up/right in case they turn the other way. :aok

Modes?

Modes?
Its a thing. Most only use 2, air and gv.
Cool idea.
-
And how do we get to these modes? Sorry completely ignorant of this.

On the clipboard controller setup page copy mode 1 to mode 3.
Then set a button in mode 1 to switch modes to mode 3.
In mode 3 set the same button to switch modes back to mode 1. Make sure you select mode 3 on the clipboard controller setup page.
Now you have a button that toggles between 2 different stick mappings.
Map whatever changes you want to mode 3. Again make sure you select mode 3 on the clipboard controller setup page
The buttons you don't change in mode 3 will be the same as in mode 1 because you started by copying everything over.
You can also set different stick scalings for each mode so you can easily compare scaling with no scaling or different scale profiles.
Modes are a nice feature. :D
