"3 Cameras" view - adjustment for non 90 degree setups?

Sorry if this has been mentioned already as it most probably has, but I did search extensively and also ploughed through over 40 wish list pages looking for it and still couldn't find it.

 

Triple monitor users would be very happy if you could provide some form of adjustment to allow a useable "3 Cameras" view with monitors at angles other than 90 degrees. My monitors are at 45 degrees to each other and the "3 Cameras" option is unusable as it just looks totally wrong.

 

Considering that the vast majority of triple screen users will NOT have their screens at 90 degrees, there really should be an option to adjust for other angles as well. Using the "1 Camera" option on triples results in severe stretching on the outer two thirds of each side monitor. So much so that I cannot fly with that and have opted to use only 1/3 of both my left and right monitors.

 

It's a real shame having to throw away the outer 2/3 of both my right and left monitors due to stretching that makes me feel queezy. Please give us options to setup triples with "3 Cameras" view at angles other than 90 degrees?

3-monitor angle correction option

 

I second this request for a 3-monitor 'corrected FOV' option in DCS. With this option, angled side monitors will have the correct, accurate viewing FOV with very good detail when flying.

 

Please consider adding this option.

viewDx 0 = Center
viewDx 1 = Right
viewDx -1 =  Left


Try adjusting from 1 to .5

you may also have to adjust the x position,

As I believe last time I tried this, .5 made half of the center on the side screen, so I had to shift the right screen over more.

@SkateZilla can you please elaborate on this, as I'm very new and have this same problem for my triple setup. I understand how to change lua parameters but do not understand what you are doing in context. This problem is annoying and is dissuading me from playing dcs any further. Surely ED know of this issue, no one has triples at right angles surely.
