I provided two examples above and this is yet another. At this point your rudeness has already been amply demonstrated. Yet you persist.

you included something after your original claim?? come now, do get a grip... try finding something before you made your claim

I never said "you" personally... I said the subject has come up before... and you complain of others' comprehension?

As always, I am ready to listen.

reading, perhaps would be a better approach

irrelevant, as now matter how far away from, or however close to your monitor you sit, the same FoV is going to be displayed

I desire to set my fov to create a window in front of me (the monitor) that will present objects at exactly, or as close as I can get it, the same size as I would see from a similar window in reality. My monitor only occupies about 23.5 degrees of my field of view, however.

If you want that, then you'll need a simpit and a multi-monitor/ wrap around screen

the 1:1 representation, you won't get without a simpit and multi-monitor/ wrap around screen.

yes, look at from projection and not photography, which I have tried to get across before, yet for whatever reason you seem to not consider that (or at least there has been no comment)
With whatever size monitor the ratio of FoV projected image to screen will be the same.
ie the cockpit will take up just as much space on a small monitor as it will a large monitor, with the only difference being in pixel resolution and staircasing

Draw away, I would be genuinely interested
