As for 130 degrees of view - that will be very unrealistic. We already going for compomise always with the computer games - we make wider basic angle of view. This thing distort the feel of distances to the object, but make the wider angle. However with make more "close up" like should see that distances the human eye. This is compromize in every game.

hi oleg,

but will you support multiple monitors without triplehead2go from matrox ?

with the newer gfx cards we can use 3 or more monitors at the same time, without using a matrox 3H2go. for ex using one big widescreen in the middle, and a smaller 19' or 17' on either side to improve peripheral view (this is an economical way for many of us to add more lcd monitors since many of us now have upgraded to bigger widescreens and still have some older smaller lcd's around, or can buy them on the cheap)

but BoB would need to be able to support that, for ex central 27' monitor = 60 FoV, with a 19' in landscape mode on either side adding 30 FoV for each of those , producing a total of 120 FoV over the 3 monitors side by side.

this is already possible in some current games released in the last 2 years, i hope you allow us this function in BoB as well.
