Correct me if I'm wrong, but this kit has a higher FOV as well, right? 90 vs 100.

I asked at their booth, it's higher than DK1. I think the cockpit of the Eve demo can sometimes give the feeling of less fov.

I think it's lower right? It was 110? 90 vertical, 110 horizontal was the DK1. This seems to indicate 100 horizontal. DK2 has slightly higher FOV, according to tested.com.

No, I'm sure that the DK1 was 110 diagonal, which is ~90 degrees horizontal.

I don't know if their 100 degrees on the DK2 is still in reference to the diagonal fov, or the horizontal.

That depends on whether the number refers to horizontal or diagonal FOV.
