...for those with wide view monitors...there is the turn on WideVIewAspect in P3D.

Well, quess what..it is in the Flightsimulator.cfg file on line 30...with it turned off..but IT IS THERE...

I just set mine to WideViewAspect=1 and saved with Note Plus +

That will correct your fish eye when you go to External Camera, as well as when you pan inside the cockpit..on a wide view monitor such as a 3440x1440.  Fish Eye gone...

Now if I just knew where the heck to find Flightsimulator.cfg............

Intel 10700K @ 5.1Ghz, Asus Hero Maximus motherboard, Noctua NH-U12A cooler, Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB 3200 MHz RAM, RTX 2060 Super GPU, Cooler Master HAF 932 Tower, Thermaltake 1000W Toughpower PSU, Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit, 100TB of disk storage. Klaatu barada nickto.

Isn't WideViewAspect the appropriate setting for something like 99% of monitors in use today? Why isn't it enabled by default?

Thank you.  Done.. :wink:

Good point  I think it came along with the 16.9 aspect ratio years ago.

For me, the WPSystem (I installed everything on separate drive) is the original folder. I think it must be symlink or something similar - didn't research it yet. And those two folders have the same content.

Great find, however when I implement it, MSFS keeps returning it to 0 every time I exit the sim.

This wideviewaspect is for ultrawide monitors, 21:9, and there is also a setting inside a sim to turn it on.
