Come on, its a numerical and rather simple answer. I won't necessarily want to play the game like that, just like I wouldn't want to fly a plane out of a 22" window a metre or so in front of me, but there IS an answer.

In fact, all you need to do is look at the answer you gave me and the lines you drew for 90, 70 and 30 fov there - then compare them to fov lines you could draw out the aircraft window - to know the answer.

It doesn't work that way on a projection though, which is the part I feel your not grasping... because, for one, the screen doesn't take into account binocular (two eye vision). If it did, and when you focused your eyes on a target plane very close to you, the background would blur/ double over depending on how far away what was behind what you focused on and then again behind that.
and you 3rd paragraph relates to two differnt scenarios. Why? because one is proejection and the other is real world
