tri monitor scaling field of view help!

[imJGott]

i just recently installed my 3rd monitor to play this game with nvidia surround. my problem is my field of view slider doesnt go below 80. i cant play the cockpit view as if im on top of the steering wheel. i can not get the same view point with one monitor as i can with 3 monitors. why is that?

Sounds like you are using the restricted helmet view... try cockpit view instead

i am using cockpit view. the view where i can see the steering wheel and my hands along with the side mirrors. my resolution is 5760x1080 in game is the same but im right on top of everything. not sure how to readjust it because it wont go below 80

im looking for this view and im not getting it because my slider wont move below with 3 monitors.

Oh OK... no problem, can't see why you can't change it.... try pressing '[' to decrease or ']' to increase. each press is 1 degree.

hopefully that works but im scared that it wont. but this is where i saw the 3 monitor setup

[MrPix]

for the distance he is from the screen that FOV is awful

[imJGott]

My view is worst than his. His I like mine it's like my nose it up against the steering wheel. No joke

Have you used the calculator to work out your FOV, as with my 3 monitor setup my perfect field of view is 119. the lower the number the closer you are to the steering wheel basicly. mine wont let me go any lower than 92, because any less than that and won't see any of the car.

use this LINK to work out yours.

I am a similar distance to the guy in the video and 110 is working great for me!
