October 29, 201312 yr Author Be aware that 2560 x 1600 is 16:10 aspect and not 16:9 (2560 x 1440) ... so if you use FSX's WideViewAspect it may not be what you expect. I use: [Display] WideViewAspect=False Thanks. I'll look at that tomorrow. I didn't notice anything odd in the quick circuit I did this evening though Would you post some pics of it and with fsx running 2560x1600 with ngx please. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD I will do that over the next day or two, sure
October 30, 201312 yr Be aware that 2560 x 1600 is 16:10 aspect and not 16:9 (2560 x 1440) ... so if you use FSX's WideViewAspect it may not be what you expect. I use: [Display] WideViewAspect=False I'm curious what your rationale for that is. As I understand it, the WideViewAspect setting sets locks the vertical field of view (vice the horizontal field of view with the default setting of False), so that a wider screen matrix yields a wider field of view for any particular zoom setting. With WideViewAspect set to True, the vertical FOV can be fine-tuned by adjusting the zoom setting. When it was implemented in 2006, the 16:10 wide-screen monitor was actually more common than the 16:9 monitors that have risen to present-day dominance due to HD TV...I've never had any problem using the WideScreenAspect setting with my Dell U3011 (2560x1600) monitors.

Cheers Your absolutely right Bob, 16:10 is the native default PC format that has been used for all widescreen monitor formats for years. It's only the past couple of years, because it's been cheaper for companies to bastar-ise LCD TVs and use them for PC applications, that the 16:9 format has been seen as being the norm, but in fact it's anything but that.

October 30, 201312 yr I'm curious what your rationale for that is. I think you read more into what I posted ... I was just pointing out that 2560 x 1600 has a different aspect ratio from the more common (today) 1920 x 1080 (or other 16:9 monitors/TVs). I was not trying to suggest a Pro or Con (good or bad), only that there is a difference and the OP might want to adjust/experiment with the FSX.CFG WideViewAspect setting.

OK, mostly I was intrigued as to why you were running with WideViewAspect turned off on a widescreen monitor.
