Ultrawide/multi monitor supporting

[MadKreator]

These days ,ultra-wides and multi-monitors are far more prevalent. I’d love to see some updating to better support these.  The little things like aircraft HUD’s that are nice, crisp and clear on a 16:9 screen but on a 21:9 or 32:9 are fat fuzzy lines and texts. Affects mfd’s as well. The harrier and f5e are pretty much un-useable without editing the scripts for them. F-16 is pretty bad, f-18 isn’t terrible but still needs refined in the lua files. The a-10c is actually a texture file for the hud so you can’’t edit it in normal lua script.

Also the kneeboard size is very out of place. I use a 32:9 main screen and a 16:9 screen for helios ( even previous to having  the helios screen) the kneeboard is gigantic and half  off the screen when you pull it up. I know you can re-size with the mouse but It seems so odd to me that every other graphic in the game scales great to a widescreen except, HUD’s, mfd’s and the kneeboard. I also notice some odd things like if I go to alt-f1 Hud only view, on the a-10 I get gigantic mfd’s overlayed on half of the main screen. Some aircraft work fine, some show random things on screen in hud only view. 

I know VR is probably, what, 30% of dcs users, and I’d guess 80% of pancake users are on standard and single screens, so us weird ultrawide and multi monitor people are most likely a small majority, but it would still be nice to not have to have go in and modify files to get the game looking right. Although its not a tough thing to do, if I wasn’t computer savvy and installed dcs and bought , say the harrier or f-5 to start out, I would have probably just uninstalled the game and requested a refund and moved on. 

Morning thoughts.

I doubt it's that high .. Steam users with VR are just 2% of the customers, and while I agree that for simulation games that percentage is most likely higher, it seems doubtful that it would be 15 times higer than the average.

The only survey I’ve seen from Navigraph has VR users at 12% for flight sims. 
 

PS I’m surprised about ultrawide and triple screen issues. I would think these were better supported.

The percentages were just a wild guess lol no data to support my numbers at all. Point was that us widescreen pancakers are most likely the smallest percentage, but nonetheless, still a relevant player base.  I may be a bit biased in that thought
