VPX view math and testing

[bruor]

I did a lot of match around table view settings for visual pinball and thought I’d share it here for comments/feedback.   I figure there has to be a mathematically accurate set of numbers for VPX that will render the view of a table as if you were standing at a real one.  Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.  Layback is a total guess and could vary table to table if they have different render center points.  If anyone can give confirmation that I’ve calculated it correctly, or not, I’d appreciate it.

Here is a diagram I made to run calculations on, and then simplified once I figured out where I think the values were being measured from.

Here is a spreadsheet I made to run all the numbers based on your table/view measurements.  To use this you will need to make a copy to save to your own drive to input your numbers.
