Assetto Corsa Competizione Motion Sickness: Why It Happens & What Helps
Assetto Corsa Competizione keeps its camera comfort controls in the View Settings menu: a field of view (FOV) setting, a cockpit camera movement slider, and a lock to horizon that Kunos moved there in its v1.0.6 update. The horizon lock has a partial setting that you step up or down with keys. Competizione is a separate game from the original Assetto Corsa, so its controls and their locations differ. Checked October 2026.

Why Assetto Corsa Competizione can trigger motion sickness
A cockpit camera that moves with the car shows the horizon tilting and jumping over kerbs. Kunos lets you scale that movement with a percentage slider, and the horizon lock holds the horizon level instead. Each option feeds your eyes a different kind of movement, so the sensible test is a few laps with each setting on the same car and track.
- Cockpit camera movement that follows the car over kerbs and bumps
- A horizon that tilts with the car when the lock is off
- A field of view that does not match your screen size and seating distance

Comfort settings in Assetto Corsa Competizione
Assetto Corsa Competizione ships some comfort settings, but not a full set.
| Setting | Where | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| FOV | Pause the session on track, then View Settings | Match it to your screen size and seating distance. Driver61 notes that ACC measures FOV in vertical degrees. |
| Cockpit camera movement | View Settings | Lower the percentage to reduce how much the cockpit camera moves. Kunos made this a percentage slider at the Steam launch. |
| Lock to horizon | View Settings | Test it on and off for a few laps each. Alt+H toggles it in a session, and Shift+H and Ctrl+H step the partial effect up and down. |
One guide explains these settings for every game: how field of view, motion blur, head bob and camera shake trigger motion sickness.

- End the stint at the first sign of queasiness, look at a fixed point away from the screen and slow your breathing
