Extreme distortion at the edge of wide screen monitors

[MoppleTheWhale42]

Hi,

I'm using a 32:9 monitor and unfortunately all the objects at the edge of the screen are extremely distorted and stretched out.

The two screenshots show an A-10 standing next to me on the runway, once when I look directly at the A-10, so that the A-10 is in the middle of the screen. The other image, shows the same A-10, but this time it is at the edge of the screen and is extremely elongated.

Are there any settings to prevent this distortion? I don't have this problem in other games.

This is happening even on 21:9 resolutions (3440x1440), it does look weird, but it also has some advantages. When flying formation, other guy is "zoomed and larger" so it's easier to keep track.

Although, in all seriousness, if this could be adjusted, that would be great. Can provide whatever info is needed

and on 1920x1080 I have the same problem

Welcome to computer graphics. This is how high fov 3d image looks projected on a 2d screen.

You can reduce the fov - zoom in.

This is how computer generated graphics behave on high FOV values. There is no physical lens to distort images as you see on fisheye lenses.

There are post processing mechanisms that mimics physical fisheye lenses for wider FOVs but that distorts pixels on the center of the images causing blurriness unless you're downscaling.

I think there is one shader on reshade that does that. Other games also feature something similar but it degrades image quality in the center.

This is a post "fix" on photoshop using lens distortion.
