Posting in epic thread! Saved both OP, truth and lies. Now let's add more pics.
BINOCULAR VISUAL FIELDS WITH HEAD AND EYES FIXED

AFAIK, that's the total FoV for your eyes including possible eye movement. IIRC, its about 90° horizontal for a single eye (coincidentally that's the default horizontal FoV for FPS) and about 180° for both eyes.

I noticed that our HUD it unsuited for playing in this style (as well as my screen DPI - pixels became visible).

True, HUD is also a problem for stereoscopy. It's a 2D overlay just drawn over the scene. Perspectively, it's effectively like a texture at focus distance, but no object can be in front of it (therefore it looks weird in stereo-3D).

Just compare how much more centered the HUD screen is in Lock On:

Yeah, that's more of a real-world HUD: it's like an actual texture of an object in the virtual world. Note what we currently have is more like the HUD of an HMD, it moves with our pilot's head (like in free look).

Ok, all of this is new to me, and I'm not quite following this. I can change my Field of View? Is there a slider button for this?

Not yet. You can edit your user.cfg though. Add a line

cl_fov = xx

Where xx is your desired FoV (in degrees). Default is 60. Go to 70-90 to gain more peripheral vision.
