Hi Dave,

You can and have to setup each view with the Wideview distortion mix....

So open Manage Camera’s ,  left mouse click on view 1 , give the view a name , make your changes and save . 

Change view —> left click on view 1 —> Choose your custom camera

—-

For another view : open Manage camera , left mouse click on view 2 , 

give the view a name , make your changes and save . 

Change view —> left click on view 2 —> Choose your custom camera

—-

By leftclicking on the view you want to modify it will be active when making changes !

Finally NVSurround can be used without the fisheye effect.  LM has solved it by making special shaders which corrects the distortion.  

In P3Dv4.3 :

• Open the Menu taskbar in P3D
• Go to Views
• Go to Manage Camera's
• Fill in a name for the new Camera view
• At the right from the list at the bottom check  "Wideview"  
• Set the zoom you want ( best 0.31 --> has to be higher than 0.30 )
• Save as Scenario

Fly without distortion ...

 

 

 

Gerard--thank you very much for pointing this out.  I have been running three screens in Nvidia surround for as long as I can remember.  This fix makes the sim, literally, breathtaking. Flying without distortion with three 43" screens at 4k with this fix is the best I have ever experienced.  If this could be put in P3D "tips and tricks" or whatever, it would be a great service to the P3D community.

Does this fix give you a curved horizon, usually most noticeable when the plane is banked?

Thanks,

Haven't noticed that, but will fly over the ocean today and report back.

I guess this would work for those that are able to adjust the physical position of the monitors. In my case, from the captain seat my screens "wrap around" 222 degrees. So limiting my FOV to 150 degrees although it would increase performance, it would also create the wrong aspect ratio. So taxing at 50 kts wont seem fast at all due to zoom factor.

I hope one day there is a native solution to this. Is the only drawback to P3D IMO.

For that reason I have 2x 32” front window view as 1 wide view + a 40” left/left front view

2 views instead of 3

I don't see the horizon any more curved than it should be, i.e. almost imperceptible at lower altitudes and higher altitudes a little more curved as it should be.  I am, however, encountering difficulties in the altered view virtual cockpit with A2A aircraft.  The clickspots are not where they're supposed to be.   Since I use GoFlight modules, this doesn't affect me, but it sure would make this new view in the VC unacceptable without GF.  Also, when changing views, such as from the new view VC to spot, going back to the VC puts it back in "normal" mode and you have to  make sure you change to the new view VC.  All in all, I'm going to use this new view exclusively when in the VC, which is 95% of the time.

Ok, thanks.

I thought this might help with a single monitor as well but it does not seem to do anything except give very jaggard runway lines.

This sounds like good news. Regardin wideview distortion it comes alot better with this fix, but as a side affect I get pretty bad AA. Somebody else experiencing this?

Because of the recalculation in the middle of the view indeed you can see some shimmering and AA loss. It depends on the angle towards objects/scenery.

From close up it looks good. Clouds look good. Ground scenery + 3D objects in the distance , especially when banking will show some shimmering and AA loss.

Don’t know if that can be fixed with other Shaders from the same menu or perhaps LM might improve it in the future.

I use 16 AF and 4X SSAA.

 

Ok, I’ll do some testing. Pretty bad AA on my current setup: 5760x1920 res, Wide View Aspect Ratio on and zoom factor at 1.0. 

Will try to disable WVAR and set zoom to 3.1 and see if that makes it better.

Typo

anyone tried setting UseGlobalTerrainView=True under [Terrain]?

Hello, I have been using the NV Surround distortion fix for some time and it does work great. Recently I upgraded to the latest Prepar3D V4 version and when I click the "Wideview" option the screen applies the correction but it turns the image extremely dark. Does anybody know what could be happening?

Thanks

Here I am using the Distortion Effect fix too but everything stays the same when applying that camera ...

Try reinstalling your Shaders ( cliënt un- and reinstall ) . That will take less then 5 minutes...

Hello Gerard, I did the uninstall - re-install the Client but nothing happened. What I did, I went back to Manage Cameras, and deleted the original WIDEVIEW, and created a new one, using the original instructions and it did work.

Thanks for your help. Regards

 

Juan
