Feature: Different projections and higher FOV
laundmo opened this issue ยท 1 comments
Problem
I personally always feel that FOV in games is handled poorly. There are so many projections that can be used to display a higher FOV, for example my personal favourite the Panini projection. A higher FOV allows you to see more, and feel less like youre looking through a small window.
Solution
I would like a setting that allows for chaning the display projection, and for the FOV slider to be unlocked (possibly also with a setting) to allow for larger FOV. Projections that i would like to see supported are: Panini, Equirectangular, Mercator.
Alternatives
There is a mod called Flex FOV that already does multiple projections, but sadly that in incompatible with sodium and very performance heavy, as it renders the entire screen 6 times as a cubemap and then reprojects from that.
