calculate sensitivity for different aspect ratio's

[JohnyTap]

I wanne to try another aspect ratio in the game's i play (in my case 16:9 > 16:10) and now i'm wondering what i should enter in the calculater. I tought about taking Vdeg but than the calculater tells me that the fov is V84 and H116 when it should be V84 and H110 on an 16:10 aspect ratio.

Other question: Do i even need to change my sensitivity settings when i change from 16:9 with V74 H106 to 16:10 with V84 H110?

Note: I just figured out that i have to enter "16:10 streched" in aspect ratio, but i'm still unsure about the "FOV Typ" setting.

And it seems like if i go from 16:9 with V74 H106 to 16:10 with V74 H100 i dont need to change the sensitivity at all but if i change the fov i need to change only the scope's sensitivity. Pleas correct me if i'm wrong.

Not necessarily, it depends on the game and how it scales to aspect ratios. Some will keep the same vertical FOV, other the same horizontal FOV and a few will adjust arbitrarily.

In this case it really depends on how the game scales aspect ratio and what the calculator is set up to do. Say the game uses vdeg, so the vdeg stays the same between 16:9 and 16:10. If the calculator is also set up to use the vertical FOV, nothing changes. And the same for horizontal.

But if the game uses vdeg and the calculator is set up to use horizontal you will get a difference (and vice-versa).

Ok thank's alot!
