[QUOTE="Pike13, post: 256843, member: 6451"] Thanks for posting. I'm beginning the journey of tweaking FCM to get it just right as well and your settings and explanations are a good starting point. One thing I'm trying to go for is a balance between your #1 and #3 view. I like seeing the whole table on #3 but it just seems a little 'straight down' over the top of table for me - as you call out on the Roadshow entry. Another table where this bothered me was Cactus Canyon where you can't quite see the cowboy figure and just see the top of his black hat. Without knowing what was there you would have a hard time telling what it was. But for those tables that don't have those types of features I think the FOV of 5 works great. I've found that looking at the Visual Pinball version of some of these tables is a good comparison exercise as those seem to show everything, albeit with the perspective slightly skewed. Personally, I try to have as much as the real playfield shown as possible including the plunger. I'm playing in a cabinet and want to have that 'suspension of belief' factor going a little bit where it recreates a real table as much as possible (admittedly impossible). [/QUOTE]
