    hi guys!

    i want to use multiview, as i see that it gives no distortion
    in the side screens.

    but how do i let the game know the angle between my
    monitors?

    the way it is now, looks like i will have to align my monitors
    with zero angle between them... is that the only way?

    thanks in advance!

    Hi!
    The angle for the left and right display has to be 45 degrees and is at the moment hard coded.
    ISI had confirmend in community answer and question that there further improvements are in work.

    thank you.

    but my monitors are at 40 degrees and the inside of the
    cockpit still do not match, not even close to matching.

    in iracing, for example, it matches perfectly.

    i'm confused... is everything supposed to line up perfectly
    at 45 degrees?

    As above, there'll be more settings for that kind of thing in the future.

    I don't agree with the 45 degrees above though - any screen should be facing you directly. If you're sitting back a fair bit that might mean 30 degrees, if you're very close it might be 50. But because there's no adjustment that'll mean things probably won't match between screens unless your FOV is correct.

    So for now it might be difficult to get it right, but in the apparently near future it should be easier.

    Yep try the 45 degrees as a base setting depending on the distance of your head to the displays adjust the angle. Try to find first the right FOV setting and then the side angle.

    i'm facing my 3 monitor directly (gives an angle of about 40 degrees),
    so i'm really perpendicular to them.

    but the car panels do not look aligned to me, not even close.

    Sorry to repeat myself... but yeah, it might be very difficult to get it right at the moment. If you set your FOV correctly it should be very close, but because of bezels etc it probably still won't quite be right.
