About This Tool
A correct Field of View (FOV) is one of the most critical settings in sim racing. It ensures the view from your cockpit is a true 1:1 representation of a real car, dramatically improving your sense of speed, distance perception, and overall immersion. Our iRacing FOV Calculator simplifies this process. By inputting your monitor size and how far you sit from it, we calculate the mathematically correct FOV you should use in iRacing's graphics settings. This helps you hit apexes more consistently and race closer to other cars with confidence.
How to Use
- Select Units: Choose between Inches or Centimeters.
- Measure Your Setup:
- Monitor Size: The diagonal measurement of your screen.
- Viewing Distance: The distance from your eyes to the screen surface.
- Monitor Width (for Triples): The horizontal width of a single monitor's screen area.
- Enter Values: Input your measurements into the appropriate calculator. Select your monitor's aspect ratio for the most accurate FOV.
- Get Your Values: The calculator will instantly display the optimal FOV and/or triple monitor angle.
- Apply in iRacing: In Graphics Options, enter the calculated FOV. For triples, also enter the calculated angle.
Tips for the Best Experience
- Trust the Math: A correct FOV might feel slow or "zoomed-in" at first. Give it time; your brain will adapt to the realistic perspective.
- Use the Right Calculator: The first calculator is for your main "Field of View" setting in iRacing for any setup. The second is ONLY for the "Angle between center and side screens" setting for triple monitor users.
- Re-measure if you move: If you change your seating position or monitor placement, remember to re-measure and update your settings for continued accuracy.
