Field of view adjustable in TGC?

[FaultyClubs]

TGC feels too "zoomed in" to be comfortable for me. Maybe my screen is too big or I'm too close. Anyway i found a way to adjust the FOV to something much better but it only lasts for one shot. Is there a way to adjust the FOV permanently, or at least for an entire round, rather than for only one shot?

The January update will have some more options available to tailor the camera position, so hopefully you'll be able to set it up how you want once that comes out.

The camera will move forward (ball out of view), so this will not help you a lot. Resolution / aspect ratio change might help. See differences here: http://golfsimulatorforum.com/forum/...oftware/page36

In sims we recommend to stand at least 10' / 3m away from the screen.

ProTee - will there be some kind of intelligence built into this so the camera doesn't shift forward when putting? Or will it be a setting that always applies so if you are putting you won't see the break in front of the ball and you'll have to move the view out to check that?

Good question rdh! I think it will switch to seeing the ball when on green. I would prefer to see the ball on green so you can see the full break of your putt.

Okay, I've tried everything but nothing overcomes the fact it is simply the wrong FOV for my eyes. Hopefully this will be addressed in the future. TGC seems to have the latent capability so, with luck, maybe not too difficult.

Apparently the optimum fov is typically different for console, PC and projector based versions (screen sizes and distances) so I was hoping it existed somewhere...even if undocumented since it is a cross platform game.

Faulty, maybe you could comment on how big your screen is and how far away you are hitting from?

My screen is about 11feet wide, 16x9 format, and I'm hitting about 9 feet away. Perfect Golf must use a different default because the view looks more natural to me. Probably everyone is different that's why I'm thinking it should be adjustable.

Sounds like a personal preference thing... In fact I think the widescreen image that you have is more zoomed out than anything. I have 12 foot wide, 4:3 and hitting from 10 feet away.

The whole area of tailoring the sim to its environment and operator is personal preference. Screen offsets for ball launch, distance to screen calibration, fov adjustments, camera views etc. These are sim specific features that gamers don't care about so it remains to be seen how much pull we have from the sim side. We pay way much more so hopefully it translates into something concrete for us. I don't really know how that part works between Protee and HB.
