if we just determined the "correct FoV" for your personal setup is 45 FoV and you are instead flying around most of the time in 90 FoV then you have shrunk all ingame objects (houses, ships, trees, vehicles and aircraft etc) to 1/2 their normal sizes. its not that they are wrong in the game, you just shrunk them

since your brain uses a visual reference point of how large those objects normally would be (from your previous real life experience in a similar environment, eg when looking at a house o building from a partic distance), having the ingame objects rendered at 1/2 their normal sizes significantly distorts your sense of speed (because your brain thinks these objects must be much further away from you).

try setting CoD to 45 FoV during a joy flight, and compare how different your sense of speed is when flying low down, and compare how easy/hard it is to spot/track/identify different distant objects, you should find it much easier (if you'r able to set CoD to 45 FoV)
