Using Racer_S's FOV hack (Aspect 1,6) to "improve" the FOV in 16:10...
No, you CANNOT get rid of the black bars to play. Everybody might not like a Hor+/Vert+/letterboxed game, but to see my belly when looking down to my feet feels much more natural to me :P

16:10 (1280x800), FOV hack disabled-to-enabled comparisons

Agreed. This helps add the effect your version is from her head and not her stomach.

It is indeed pretty striking when looking down, but I also like to see more of the sky when looking forward. The default FOV feels a bit like wearing a baseball cap imho :lol:

Actually, I don't think I have ever tried using the FOV hack with a 16:9 resolution.
Did you try lowering graphical settings, especially AA and lighting ?

I will try that but I don't really understand the FOV tool. Theres one slider which is called Aspect and another called FOV. If I keep the aspect ratio at 1.777 and increse the FOV slider, which is set on 0.0087266, to a higher value, would I get a higher fov? How did u do to get a higher fov? and shold't the FOV slider be from 0 to 180 degrees?

The aspect slider controls the black bars, the FOV slider controls your Field Of View.
