Widescreen questions in gaming,

Widescreen and et:

I have been using 105 fov and r_mode 6 with a normal 4:3 screen.

I bought a widescreen 22" and i still used r_mode 6 with 105 fov.

I made a change now to play on native resolution becuz NuggaN did change , but it feels alot different, but i can see everything better and more sharp.

I know there was a fov calculator or smht, if u had 105 fov on 4:3 u should use this "fov" for widewscreen to get same feeling.

And how are you guys using your widescreen ? Are u still on 4:3 resolution or are you using widescreen resolution ?

And when you bought your widescreen did you guys change your sensitivity ?

u need to know your new resolution

edit: the time i got a new screen i went from 19" tft to 19" crt
same resolution, more hz, shittier colors

shit felt better
thx, haha i says i should be using

From Old FOV: 1.3333333333333:1 aspect = 105 (FOV horizontal)
To New FOV: 1.6:1 aspect = 114.80711848294 (FOV horizontal)

shit 114 fov :D

you can see them sharp at long range?? with fov 114
Parent
ye i can :P
i guess it becuz 22inch screen kinda big

I didn't change my sensitivity since savage said 1.5 is the best. and I used a random fov calculator aka crumbs.
dont listen to savage he cant aim :D
Parent
Neither can I, so it are the right settings haha!
Parent
yes u can aim =)
Parent
can't remember the site where you could calculate it but i'm using normal resolution in ET, it just feels wierd with the real resolution, maybe i'll give it a shot again after i get my monitor with 120 hz. and yeah i changed my sens when i bought a widescreen.
same sens.

dont know shit about widescreen, got 1 myself tho

i was using whole widescreen, but for me its much better when using 4:3 ;)
when 16:9 i cant win duel cuz of recoil ;p
do u feel higher reciol with 16:9 ?
Parent
ye, just as said 4:3 lower recoil cuz of resolution
if u got full hd, then u got 1920x1080
on 4:3 1280x1024 ;p
on long range full hd is fucking awesome, but for duel it sucks for me
it depends on player/fov etc too ;)
Parent
thougt the same! got a new monitor 23" and it is 16:9 and i think the recoil is much higher then before!

is there a way to decrease the recoil with 16:9?
Parent
higher fov :P
