Reflex r_fov and actual HFOV?

[gzv]

I'm wondering why the calculator shows Reflex Arena's actual HFOV @ 124.59 when r_fov is set to 110. The in-game FOV seems much closer to 110, and adjusting r_fov = 94 so that actual HFOV = 110 does NOT look like 110 in-game; it looks like 94.

I ask because I'm unsure if it's messing up my viewspeed conversion, e.g. Reflex 13.8 in/360 becomes 17.8in/360 in Overwatch (FOV 103), which seems much too low. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Just check the game now, and the calculations are correct. But the graphic style does make the FOV look less extreme than it is.

I discovered that when I change FOV type to Horizontal Deg. | Res. Base the calculator now gives me the expected behavior (r_fov = actual HFOV.) Is this the correct setting? Is calculator intended to auto-select the correct FOV type?

The calculator defaulted to Horizontal Deg. | 4:3 base for 1920x1080, which I find strange.

Hoping you can enlighten me, thanks!

The game uses Hor+, which is the same as Horizontal Deg. | 4:3 base. This means that any resolution wider than 4:3 will expand the FOV rather than stretching the configured FOV. So when you have an FOV of e.g. 110, this is correct for 4:3. But when you use a 16:9 monitor additional FOV is added on

Thanks very much! That explains everything.
