Camera Field of View is Incorrect

[Arc14]

Hi,

I noticed recently that when I enter 60deg for a camera's vertical field of view it's actually more like 48deg. I figured this out when I overlapped the camera's field of view on a solid body I created to replicate a 60deg field of view. When 60deg is entered for the camera's horizontal field of view it is represented correctly. Has anyone else noticed this or know of a fix?

Thanks,
Maureen

Yep, I see what you mean. I'll try and track this down with the people responsible for the code.

So is there a current workaround for this? So far I am just creating a coild body wit ha 90 deg FOV and am changing the view angles a degree at a time until the edges line up.
