Preserve FOV when switching game?

[gzv]

Just a suggestion - 

 

I typically convert from CS GO to various other games, several of which are UT games at the exact same FOV. It would be nice to avoid re-entering FOV every time; currently the input is cleared when the game is changed.

 

If preserving FOV by default isn't an option - how about a check-box that enables this, or instead consider clearing FOV only when the input is out-of-range for the newly selected game?

 

P.S. Will UT4's calculator take non-default FOVs into consideration any time soon? (I've noticed I can seemingly reverse-calculate it by setting the FOV field and fine tuning sensitivity until my distance/360 is correct.)

UT4 had a bug in the formula, fixed now! Thanks for the heads up

 

Regarding preserving FOV, I agree that it would be nice to do this between games. But it should be a check-box like you suggest, as it might cause confusion. And it must be clear when the FOV is reset to default because the preserved FOV is out of range, or FOV is not possible to adjust for the game.

 

I think adding a selection to automatically convert FOV (if possible) is what I'll go with for the next update.
