Leaning airport buildings

Featured Replies

When viewing airport buildings from the runway some look like the leaning tower of Pisa. Is there a setting in config about wide screens or something ?Thanks for any suggestions.FSX + acceleration +SP2 +UTX and GEX EuropeDell XPS 420 Nvidia GT 8800 1440 x 900

under your [Display] section of fsx.cfg make sure you haveWideViewAspect=TrueIf you're using a widescreen monitor.Also check your zoom. If you zoom out real far you do get a fish-eye effect

Thanks GaiidenI have the cfg setting as 'true' but like to have zoom at 30% in order to have a good view outside and I move the eye location up to the instruments enough to see the detail of the gauges. You're right it does have a fishbowl effect even at 50%. What is your zoom level and is there an optimum? After all we are all sitting in front of flat screen monitors.

I fly all aircraft at .70 zoom. The only time I need to deviate from this is helicopters - I zoom out to around .40 in order to get a proper perspective to gauge my hover.
