Setting up your Field of View (FOV) in any game or simulator that allows you to adjust its FOV can be a bit of a guessing game. Get it wrong and you’ll either feel like you’re flying a telescope or sitting in the back row of an IMAX cinema. That’s where the FOV Optimiser comes in, a simple, standalone tool designed to help you quickly find the optimal FOV for your setup

Why Use This Instead of a Free Online Calculator?
Yes, there are free FOV calculators online, but they are simple number generators without the extra features this tool offers. This tool is built specifically for simmers and includes extra features like VR comparison, accessibility mode, and save/load options. Plus, you don’t have to worry about web pages going down.
Because let’s be honest, you’ve probably spent more on a fancy coffee.
