Calculated FOV
Why is FOV important?
Correct Field of View (FOV) ensures that the sense of speed and distance in the simulator matches reality. This allows for better judgment of braking points and cornering speeds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is correct FOV important in sim racing?
Correct Field of View (FOV) syncs the virtual camera with your real seating position. When the scale is right, braking points, corner apexes, distance, and speed feel more natural and consistent.
What is the best FOV for triple screens?
The best triple-screen FOV depends on your eye distance, monitor size, side monitor angle, bezel width, and whether your screens are flat or curved. A proper setup should make the cockpit and track scale match your real-world viewing position instead of relying on a guessed value.
What measurements do I need for a triple-screen setup?
Measure the distance from your eyes to the center screen, each monitor size, bezel width, and the angle of your side monitors. Sit in your normal driving position while measuring so the calculator reflects how you actually race.
How do bezels affect triple screen FOV?
Bezels create a small physical gap between screens. Accounting for bezel width helps line up objects as they move from one monitor to another, which makes mirrors, apexes, and nearby cars feel more continuous across the display.
Should I use the same FOV in iRacing, ACC, and other sims?
Not always. Different simulators may use vertical FOV, horizontal FOV, or their own camera settings. Use the same physical measurements, then apply the value and unit that matches each simulator.
Is a mathematically correct FOV always better?
A mathematically correct FOV gives the most realistic scale, but it can feel narrow on small single screens. If it is uncomfortable, you can increase it slightly, but that trades distance accuracy for more peripheral awareness.
