    Fired up AMS2 for the first time and generally all was well, went to options, fiddled with FFB, got it feeling ok. When I went to the tri scr setup I noticed distance was set at 90 which is 30 to much but I was unable to change it, now when I go to the car I'm sat in the back seat, what am I missing?

    Exit the game and re-enter. OR, just edit the values in triplescreensettings.xml in your MyDocu folder. Not yet fixed? This was an issue already from previous Betas. Haven't tried today's update.

    Same issue here. I edited the file in My Documents.

    Now I have to find a correct FOV...

    Just use some of the calculators, based on your monitor setup.

    Cheers chaps, sorry for delay replying, been banging too many laps out, very impressive for sure. I discovered the solution by chance, should have got back and mentioned it sooner but as I said have just been enjoying myself! :whistle:

    How do you set the right FOV in AMS2? The fov only goes down to 88 but mine should be 53 for triples :s

    If it only goes down as far as 88 then you still have settings to correct in the triplescreens.xml which is in your documents/automobilista 2 folder, such as the distance from screen.

    I've set those but will happily look again. Does that mean the settings in triples does dictate what FOV is available?

    yep, if it's not set correctly it will limit the lowest available value for FOV. I actually think 88 is the default lowest value.
    It's very easy to make a mistake with measurements so double check all values in the xml and physical dimensions.

    Also worth noting as it's not very clear but the "physical" dimensions required for height and width are of the actual viewable area of the screen, not including bezels or screen borders.
