Hi

 

I cant seem to get my cockpit and the outside an the screen at the same time. Its all too large...even after zooming out.

I am using 2 x hanns g HG281D and 1 x hanns g HZ281 monitors and getting 6116 x 1200 x 32 in the game.Bezel corrected.

 

Am I doing something wrong?

Very frustrating having to move my view up and down to see out or to view my speed.

I can open a new window and place the dials in the right place but its messy.

Pls help!

I'm not sure if I fully understood the problem  :blush:  but are you already running the parameter WideViewAspect=True in your fsx.cfg? It's in the [Display] section and should allow for a wide FOV to start with.

Try using the viewpoint command...

 

Shift+Enter = Move viewpoint up

This is normal when using 3 monitors & that resolution. I have it, too.

There is a youtube video (can't remember the name of it) that describes this issue on why this is normal.

I usually just use eyepoint back & to the right to get more cockpit in view.

It drives me crazy sometimes. I'm thinking of getting TrackIR to help compensate for it.

Poster above is correct.  I found this years ago with a Google Search (works great!)

 

Apply this to your FSX.CFG.  I've been using three monitors for many years just fine.

 

 

WideViewAspect=True

 

 

 

Hope this helps.

Only thing I can think of is to set the WideScreenView=False to True in the Fsx.cfg.

 

Best regards,

Virtual cockpit?

 

Every aircraft?

 

Windowed or full screen mode?

virtual cockpit in every aircraft yes

Ok I will try the false to true setting

 

​Full screen or windowed mode

Hi

 

Thanks but changed to true and made no difference at all

Sorry, but that's simply not plausible.  It creates a significant change on the 50+ systems I've performed technical support on via Remote Desktop (so I saw the change, as did the user).

 

Perhaps you have a modification or addon software that is reverting it back, either directly or indirectly?

 

Really up to you, but this is so well documented that I'd pursue it!

 

Best of luck.

.

I have saved the file with with WideViewAspect=True

The cockpit is still as large as before

 

Here it is...

 

InfoPauseEnable=True

InfoSlewEnable=True

InfoStallEnable=True

InfoOverspeedEnable=True

BLOOM_EFFECTS=0

SKINNED_ANIMATIONS=1

TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=40

UPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT=20

WideViewAspect=True

[Main]

User Objects=Airplane, Helicopter

SimObjectPaths.0=SimObjects\Airplanes

SimObjectPaths.1=SimObjects\Rotorcraft

SimObjectPaths.2=SimObjects\GroundVehicles

SimObjectPaths.3=SimObjects\Boats

SimObjectPaths.4=SimObjects\Animals

SimObjectPaths.5=SimObjects\Misc

Maximized=1

Ii actually have 2 fsx.CFG files

One that windows will not open

Is this normal?

 What does this mean? I usually just use eyepoint back & to the right to get more cockpit in view.??

 

Also tried Shift+Enter = Move viewpoint up

S pmanhart suggested but it moves a different view to what I am looking for

Please re-post the images, as they were deleted.  If the screenshots are in BMP, convert them to JPEG.

 

Also, a screen shot from just one screen, taken from the default position.

Sounds like you changed the FSX TXT file and not the CFG file.  Open the latter in NOTEPAD, and make the change there.  All should be fine.

It is the cfg file I am changing but not with note pad.

 

 

I took this screen shot first....

 

 

 

 

 

Then I opened cfg in notepad as you said and WideViewAspect was back to False again, so I changed it and took another screen shot...

 

 

 

 

 

Heres a screenshot of the file too just to make sure its correct
