Why Use An FOV Calculator?

Using the correct field of view in a sim racing game will allow objects in the distance to approach your screen at the correct speed to replicate real life. If you have an incorrect field of view all objects when looking through your car’s windscreen will appear either closer or further away than they actually are. This will make you feel like you are driving slower or faster than you actually are.

It is best to set the correct realistic field of view to replicate your real life vision. This way you wont need to adjust to the incorrect field of view. Instead you will be able to drive as accurately as real life.
