Assetto Corsa EVO | Correcting 134° FOV Perspective (Panini Projection Comparison)

Comparison of Assetto Corsa EVO on a 32:9 Ultrawide monitor (Samsung Odyssey G9) at 134° FOV. Top: Standard Rectilinear Projection (High edge distortion) Bottom: Panini Projection (Enabled via ReShade / PerfectPerspective.fx) The Benefits of Panini Projection: Using a Panini value of 0.5 via ReShade significantly improves the driving experience on Super-Ultrawide screens: Corrected Perspective: The extreme stretching at the edges of the screen is eliminated. Better Visibility: The track ahead appears larger and more focused, making it easier to hit apexes. Natural Sense of Speed: The peripheral movement feels more realistic and less "warped" compared to the standard view. Better Consistency: Overall, it provides a much more immersive and competitive driving environment. The Trade-offs (ReShade Limitations): Since this is a post-processing effect, there are some technical compromises: Center Zoom: The projection requires a digital zoom to fill the screen, which leads to a slight loss of sharpness in the center. HUD Distortion: ReShade affects the entire image, meaning the HUD/UI becomes distorted (I have hidden the HUD in this video for clarity). Why Native Support is Needed: While ReShade is a great workaround, native Panini support in Assetto Corsa EVO would be the superior solution. Native implementation would allow the game to exclude the HUD from the projection and maintain full image clarity without the need for post-process scaling. Used Tool: ReShade with Fubax-Shaders (PerfectPerspective.fx)
