Summary0000499: Changing FOV changes ship manouverability
DescriptionHere is what it is: I changed the FOV to -fov 0.39, and the ship turns much faster, and I dont need it because Im not used to it. It should stay the same speed I think.

Are you sure this isn't an optical illusion caused by the FOV?

Maybe it is... I do not sure. Since everything is closer.. it makes sense, but how can it be fixed ? Try to aim a Ulysses with -fov 0.39 and you'll know what I mean.

If you set the POV lower, you will see less 'space' on the same screen, therefore, turning will seem faster. The only fix would be to change the FOV up again. You can test wheter it's optical by taking a good reference poin in a mission, in a certain ship. Make a full circle, while lying still, in one direction. Count on a watch how long it takes. Try this under default POV and some other setting. See if any difference is really there.

Please report back if you find out if it was an illusion or not.

Looks like it is an illusion. The time is exactly the same. It seems like the ship is turning faster, but its not... its only harder to aim :)
I think ill use the default FOV from now on.

You can close this.
