viewspeed horizontal vs vertical

[Grominou]

Hi its my first post here,

I know that viewspeed H is something like 4% slower than vertical but it feel better to track with.

Instructios tab is pretty unclear as to each viewspped is exact on the horizontal axis.

My question is: Is viewspeed vertical on the vertical axis (i am on 16:10) exact or is only viewspeed horizontal doing this?

 

Thanks

Both are just arbitrary alternatives to a monitor distance barometer for the sens ratio you like across different FOVs

The difference between the two is that vertical is aspect ratio agnostic and similar to a 133% vertical monitor distance (so similar in fact, that it may as well not exist) and horizontal is more similar to around 60-odd percent screen distance horizontally at 16:9.

Thx so both are horizontaly correct in their own ways?

[TheNoobPolice]

Not sure what you mean by horizontally correct?

How could they be horizontally incorrect?

All monitor distance functions are effectively a hack to bridge the gap between perceived sensitivity changes and the factual maintaining of crosshair sensitivity (i.e focal length scaling), and viewspeed is just a calculation that arrives at a sensitivity value which could also be expressed as an equivalent monitor distance, only this "equivalent distance" just scales up or down slightly depending on the source and target FOV values.

ok thx because the label "viewspeed vertical" made me wonder if it would only be correct in the vertical axis but not on the horizontal one
