I found a good FOV short time ago...
Widescreen: 22" - 1152 x 864 pixels
FOV: 84
Wheel: Logitech G25
With virtual steering wheel off + driver off and adjusting so you are "sitting" highest as possible in the cockpit, you get a good feel with the car, speed etc... I have planted my Samsung 22" screen close up to the G25 so when i look down at the virtual speedo, its the G25 its located behind and not a virtual steering wheel... Pretty realistic
