It's putting the wheel and cockpit at the right distance, the way they'd actually look if you were in the car, right size.

I've always assumed a car is where I saw it going.Forget those FOV calculations, they'll give you 25 degrees and you crash in the cars around you unless you have triple screens. Adjust it to make you comfortable. Don't drive like this:
Though I will say that when I am recording anything I do put the FOV out because the lower FOV looks crappy on Youtube, etc.

It can be difficult. I would advise (I'm by no means trying to force you to) using something like a Track IR because obviously a real driver can move their eyes and head.

Tim,
I tried that. Even glued together my own headtracker. It just doesn't work for me. Even the NoIR doesn't seem to work or what's more probable I'm to stoopid to get it working correctly. The original TrackIR is out of the question. Way too expensive for me. Anyway, I appreciate your thoughts.

Showing off my off-worldly skills again... (sarcasm for those who are about to jump me now)

Why not use head motion settings, this may help to have some degrees in bend.
For example with my setting :
Now I can't drive without

Thanks Gaetan, I'll try that.
Another Macau video. WTCC E90 this time. Great mod.

Yeah, my bad. I made that comment after reading the previous page earlier in the day and had completely forgot about it being that low. I'm not going to disagree with your statements about that on a single with no tracking.

Those 23 degrees was for triple screens (for this guy with 3 TVs).

And @Racefreak1976
For this set I use this in player.JSON :
"Exaggerate Yaw":0.64,
"Exaggerate Yaw#":"Visually exaggerates the heading angle of the vehicle by rotating the head (which may improve \"feel\")",
"Glance Angle":1,
"Glance Angle#":"Angle to look left\/right (yaw) w\/ controller in radians (= degrees \/ 57)",
"Head Physics":1,
"Head Physics#":"Fraction of head physics movement applied to cockpit view (position AND rotation)",
"Head Rotation":0.5,
"Head Rotation#":"Additional head physics multiplier affecting rotation only",
"Leanahead Angle":0.25,
"Leanahead Angle#":"Angle to lean head (roll) w\/ steering in radians (= degrees \/ 57)",
"Look Roll Angle":1,
"Look Roll Angle#":"Angle to lean head (roll) w\/ controller in radians (= degrees \/ 57)",
"Look Up/Down Angle":1,
"Look Up/Down Angle#":"Angle to look up\/down (pitch) w\/ controller in radians (= degrees \/ 57)",
"Lookahead Angle":0.2,
"Lookahead Angle#":"Angle to lookahead (yaw) w\/ steering in radians (= degrees \/ 57)",
You can change for your own preference

Hotlap from Spark F2 @ Mills Outer Loop A race...
Race Report (also available in video comments):
DRIVER:
Setup = Default setup + FARB/RARB = 8 + 10 laps fuel (est.)
Fastest Lap Time = 1:28.108 (Position = 1st ; Previous PB = 1:28.757)
Possible = 1:27.937
Total Race Time = 10:35.064 (PB = 10:31.236 ; See "Driver Notes")
Start Position = 3/3
Result Position = 3/3 (+00:06.303)
Position Changes = None
Gaps = Within several car lengths of position 2 car most of race
Consistency = Every lap (except final lap) faster than previous lap
Incidents = None (clean race)
RACE:
Race Length = 10 minutes
Real Road / Time Scale = Green / 15x
AI Drivers / Strength / Aggression = 2 / 100% / 50%
Damage = 30%
Race Fastest Lap Time = 1:28.108
Incidents = None (clean race)
Position Changes = None
Gaps = All three cars within several car lengths most of race
DRIVER NOTES:
Spun on 2nd to last turn of race trying to pass. Would have set new PB total race time otherwise. Worth risk because was in last place. Good race.

So nice to see a good fov and seating position once in a while
What size monitor are you using here?
