FOV - Whats a nice setting

[bpetit]

I usually have it at 60 or 55.

Ok Guys:

What is FOV?

Field Of View

And what it does, and where is the setting?

[bpetit]

You have to right click ts2012, properties, click on set launch options. Paste this -SetFOV=(number). And there you go.

Thank you for that info. I know in FSX I like to set my own so I might see if I can get one I like better in TS2012 too.

Thanks you that info. What else can I set and is there a list somewhere of all this stuff ?

so the higher the number the farther you field of view is? am i in the ballpark with this one?

I guess is not related to the view distance, but to the angle of view instead, and if I'm not such wrong as lower the number as wider the image and farther the objects (image is more unrealistic comparing to what human eyes see).
TS2012 looks to me like if I was using a 55-60mm photographic lens in a camera, so objects looks like being (unrealistically) farter than should be. If I could set this (reduce the angle of view to approach objects closer to humam perception) it would be nice indeed.

TS2012 uses anamorfic scaling method, I use to play 16:9 (1280x720) in my 5:4 Monitor (1280x1024).

Humm... concerning to values, looks like FOV in games works in the opposite way (as higher the value as wider the view) of photo machine lens diameter (FOV in photographic machines, as lower the diameter as wider the view).

Pics say more than thousand words.

o, i'm a bit ignorant here. Where do i set my command line options? If i open up the shortcut properties in the start menu, it states its a url ( not a normal shortcut ) does that work or is there another method??

Pam, Bpetit posted it here. Open Steam, TS1012, Properties.
