Isn't the correct procedure to measure the distance between your eyes and
the screen?
--------------------------------

You would need four hands and two bodies to do this. And, at the
end, WHY would you do this? Well, to find the correct FOV, of course. And
what if, after all this measuring you make some mistake in measurements?
Then you will have WRONG FOV.
The sole and whole reason to measure this is to find the RIGHT FOV.
I have a metod to see what FOV is right the other way. The CORRECT way. You
see, WHY would you need the correct FOV in the first place? Well, to
correctly set things up.
99% of people CLAIM that FOV doesn't make a difference. They are
basing their claim on what? Mostly on their dreams. People who claime this,
either never tried different FOVs, or they have their FFB so badly set up
that EVERY FOV gives wrong result.
Well, for me, the sole reason to adjust FOV is to make FFB work
correctly. And, isn't the ONLY "correct" way to see if FFB works correctly,
well, to see if it works correctly. Simple as it can be. Well, my FFB works
correctly (-tliest) with FOV of 62. I know that this is the correct FOV, and
there is no need for me that I announce the right distance publicly so that
I can help myself. I do this so that I can help others.
So, did you try 42.5 cm? Did it work better than what you previously
had?
