Tribes Science: FoV & Mouse Sense

FoV affects your mouse sense. Some of you might know this, but I figured enough don't.

I play with 0.000295(one click) mouse sense @ 115 FoV.

For the test I kept mouse sense the same as above and changed FoV back and forth from 90 to 120.

@120 FoV, I could do a ~425 degree turn from one end of my mousepad to the other.(I have decent sized mousepad)

@90 FoV, I did a ~315 degree turn from end to end.

This is a 110 degree difference and approx ~9.6 degree difference per 1 inch.

I tested 105 FoV(which is halfway point) and did a 370 degree turn.(which is also halfway between 425 and 315)

I switched mouse sense to 0.000263(zero clicks) and re-tested.

120 FoV = ~382.5 degree turn.
90 FoV = ~292.5 degree turn.

So with a 100 degree difference it's approx ~7.8 degrees per 1 inch.

I then tested different resolutions but experienced no change in degrees from my default 1920x1080.

So to compare same sense with different FoV we do 90 FoV @ 1 click and a 120 FoV @ 1 click, and we will say this, if the two players were to move their mouse horizontally for 4 inches on their mouse pad, the 120 FoV will have moved 147.6 degrees and the 90 will have done 109.2 degrees.

The results for different FoV and mouse sense:
90 FoV @ 0 click to 120 FoV @ 1 click:
90 = 101.6 degrees
120 = 147.6 degrees

Final Results:
90 FoV @ 1 click = 109.2
90 FoV @ 0 click = 101.6
120 FoV @ 1 click = 147.6
120 FoV @ 0 click = 132.8

As you can see mouse sense doesn't make as much of a difference as FoV does.

So for those of you who are asking other players which mouse sense they use, make sure you ask them which FoV as well.

also this thread real spergy and stork totally forget that tribe and windows both has built in mouse acceleration so u never gonna get some highly accurate measurement
 
I don't experience any mouse accel in tribes with it disabled.

I have an intelli 3.0
People with diff mouse will get diff results. This just for people who try to copy others. FoV makes a much larger diff than mouse sense and I thought some people would like to know.

does that work on tribe.exe built in acceleration? idk

copa got 3500 dpi mouse sense play @ max fov

mouse sense mean nothin gfg
Click to expand...
