Why Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve can trigger motion sickness
Flight rolls and pitches the whole picture. Bandai Namco's Expert control mode rolls the craft first and then turns it by pitching, while Standard turns when you push the stick left or right. Wikipedia adds that cutscenes are shown in first person and let you look around. The sources list no setting for how wide the view is or how much the camera moves.
- Expert flight control, which rolls the craft before it turns
- First-person cutscenes where you can look around
- A fixed field of view, since no setting is listed
