90 is for noobs :<

It´s default, same with playing with "wasd" also noob, arrows is more cool, cos you decided NOT to play default :p

played with arrow keys about a year, but finally decided to switch to the wasd keys cause there are just more keys nearby that are needed in ET. Also on the arrow keys you got a longer way to the buttons nearby, means you have to move your hand more, and thats already too much for a lazy ass like me :y

bind MOUSE5 "vstr fovswitch"

set fovswitch "vstr fov90"

set fov90 "cg_fov 90; set fovswitch "vstr fov105""

set fov105 "cg_fov 105; set fovswitch "vstr fov90""

The vertical FOV is lower (and cannot be changed independently) in widescreen resolutions, but the horizontal FOV is exactly the same. All that happens when changing from 5:4 to 16:10 is that the top and bottom parts are cut off (+ some HUD adjustment).

If the monitor size changed then that's what you should use in your FOV calculation, not the resolution.

another thing i intall my et with etpack 1.5 and already hv a fov calculator inside and set the fov 110 at fov 119.32.... i made a simple calcul like (90*119,32)/110 = 97,757 to get my new fov and looks very similiar to the old so now cant decide what to use or the 97 or 101 or simple the 90 default :X
tnx guys for your support
