Steve Becker helped me understand FOV, I know the following text applies
to FS9 but it may also work in 10<br><br>
<i>Then in order to have the proper out the window "View" your
viewing distance and and monitor viewing size must match your formula FOV
= 2 x ArcTan (Image Width X 0.5 / Viewing Distance).<br><br>
So your monitor is like a window.in real life:<br>
The FOV becomes larger (in Degrees) as you move closer to a real
window.<br>
The FOV becomes smaller (in Degrees) as you move away from a real
window<br><br>
The ratio between MSFS FS9 native angle of 55 degrees and your calculated
FOV gives you the "zoom factor".<br><br>
