Hi all, so yes, i do like LFS, but there's one thing about it that i don't like: Just like Netkar you just don't quite get the sensation of speed with the default settings. So i fiddled around with the "Field of view" setting and i think smaller values made it worse, while greater ones seem to cure that problem. Not without bringing up another one of cpurse. Everything gets real distorted. Especially the gear display has become so small that i can hardly read it anymore.Then again I'm at 120 degrees FoV right now, which may just be a little high. So, what kinda values are you guys using? /ce

Should help. >be a little high. So, what kinda values are you guys using? I lowered the default value a little, I have it at 70 IIRC. I find it easier to judge corners with a lower FOV value. -- - Jussi Koukku -

I use around 90 or 100, for the same reason as you. above 100 is definately too warped imho. Since I drive from a 'non cockpit' view, I have the luxury of lowering my viewpoint a bit for more sense of speed. Charlie

I use the centre view too, and a FOV of 78degrees, for no other reason than that's what gpl's default is. If I use the cockpit view I find 90degrees gives the best compromise between FOV & ability to read the dials/see the mirrors. Malc.
