    I have one spot available for my rig... the corner. As such everything must fit in this small area which makes it impossible to do some of the things I wish I could. In spite of my limitations, my husband has helped me by creating brackets and other accessories to keep things as confined/organized as possible. He welded brackets for the DSD button box, sequential shifter, tablet mount and mounts for the keyboard arm (keyboard arm is a FastTrackSims). He also made me a mouse table which attaches by industrial magnet which allows me to move it backwards when using the h-shifter. He turned the cup holder on the lathe and attached it to the mouse deck. He has never been interested in sim racing, but we've both always enjoyed building things.
    I wonder if he realizes he may be building me a rig from the ground up one day?!:p

    The shortcuts and the taskbar are a dead giveaway on this one.

    My calculated "proper" FOV is 26 degrees. I have it set to 30 degrees as a balance between rF1 and rF2. As you know, rF1 has a minimum FOV of 35 degrees, and I don't want there to be a huge difference in FOV when I switch between them.

    I hope we can still be friends! :eek:

    Fix this and i´ll try.:p
    I don´t know much about the math used to calculate FOV (geogebra or triangle calculator posted by zeospantera) but i think, in your case the distance from central monitor to wheel its too much, making the cockpit look too small to your wheel.
    That impression i have could happening because realheadmotion wrong side effect (or just me don´t know how to use proper settings) when you take first pic look like your cam pitch angle its too down and in the 3rd photo looks the opposite (the wheel almost align with that glass instead of only pass a little by dashboard like in the 2nd.

    The first picture is about at eye level. The camera was a few feet behind where my head would be when I'm sitting in the cockpit, otherwise I couldn't get all 3 monitors in the picture.

    The wheel is 10 inches (25cm) from the center monitor. This is as close as I can get it. The wheel base is less than 1 inch (2cm) from the center monitor.
