Hi John, I've got one more quick question for you,in your reply you said you use 30 camera angel and 70 degree FOV , never mind the camera angel I'm sure each individual is probably going to be a little different, but FOV, no matter where your camera angel ends up wouldn't everyone want to see as much as they can and use the full 100 degree vertical FOV? Why 70 or anything less than 100. what is the benefit behind having a smaller FOV? if you don't mind when you get a chance I would like to get your thoughts on this thank you! Joe.
Glad to be able to help! Sure, I think it's a good idea to experiment with a higher FOV. Certainly when flying proximitiy/tight race tracks it can be helpful to get a more wide view.
Some benefits with using a smaller FOV is you see more detail in the center of the screen, the view will be less distorted (especially on a real quad), depth perception might be better (at least far away), and it gives more sense of speed.
But, all in all, what you want will depend on your flying style and personal preference.
(Also it can be worth noting for anyone reading this that Freerider uses vertical FOV measurement, so a 70 degree FOV will be around 125 degrees horizontal on a 16:9 monitor)
Hi John, thank you very much for the info this is really helpful now when I make changes I'll know better what's going on with the screen and what I'm looking at just another piece of the learning curve thanks again for your insight and making things easier for everyone here. until next time happy flying! Joe.
