'Stretched' Objects?

[Leg2ion]

Hi All,

Question I guess to all multi screen users.

I am currently running 2 x 27" curved screens (1920 x 1080) - both screens 'merged' via the monitor lua to be one big main/centre display port - so in essence a 54" screen. This is coupled with head tracking. In my main screen definition I have created an offset so the hud isn't displayed down the centreline of both screens (and then obscured by the bezels) - so have defined the overall width as 4800 (and not 3940 as it would be for 2 screens) and then set my starting x co-ordinate as -960 - which positions my centreline with an offset to the left when viewed across both screens.

When I pan my head/view, any buildings or wingmen seem to grow in length/distort when at about 45^o to the right of centreline of the aircraft and again at around 90^o.  Is there any way to fix this, or any ideas what to adjust in the viewport/monitor settings that may reduce this a wee bit?

I ran a 49” ultrawide for quite some time and noticed the same. It’s just the effect the FOV has. It’s reduced when you zoom the fov in, but still there. Not sure if it’s lack of special ultrawide support or just the nature of the beast. It can definitely be annoying at times. I can understand some distortion of object as the FOV warps around but I never understood why it magnified objects so much.

Thanks @MadKreator! I guess if others have suffered the same issue will leave well alone. Sort of alleviated by adding this to my monitor setup:

    useAbsoluteFOV = false,
    FOV = 0.9642857142857143,

which narrows my FOV slightly to 135^o as opposed to 140^o . Can 'make it better' by going further - best result is around 122^o, but then I feel I'm sat so close to the MFDs they are unusable. The 135 is a good starting point - I find at 140 the CMWS box distorts stupidly when bridged across screens...
