Frequently asked questions

What is FOV in sim racing?
FOV (field of view) is how much of the game world your screen shows. The correct FOV gives you an accurate sense of speed, depth and distance, just like looking through a real windshield.
Why does the correct FOV matter?
A wrong FOV distorts your sense of speed and distance, so braking points get harder to judge. The correct FOV matches your physical screen geometry, which keeps the 1:1 scale.
How do I measure the eye-to-screen distance?
Measure from your eyes, in driving position, straight to the centre of your monitor. A tape measure in centimetres is accurate enough.
What about triple screen setups?
With triple screens each side monitor is angled inward. The calculator accounts for the bezel gaps and gives the total FOV across all three panels, plus the best side screen angle.
Why do games use different FOV types?
Some games (iRacing, BeamNG) use horizontal FOV, others (Assetto Corsa, ACC, rFactor 2) use vertical FOV, and EA Sports WRC uses its own slider. The calculator converts to each game's native format for you.
