Lens Correction? Ha. I wondered what the heck that was all about. Thanks for this.

Hi Nemo

What is your default cache size?

could you post the screen shot of "General->Data (the cache section) please.. Where you it would show the cache path etc.

I changed it without noting the original default. I did not want it using my C drive for Cache. I have a dedicated 1 TB SSD for it.

Thanks

My Rolling Cache (32 GB) is on C drive but I have also added Manual Cache which is on D drive where I also have my MSFS content.

This is something new for us. Need to learn more on the subject.

If I had known, instead of a 512GB m.2 SSD. I would have bought a 2TB m.2 for the C Drive and kept the cache there only. I also have 2TB m.2 SSD (my D drive for MSFS. and a regular old 1TB SATA SSD (my current cache is here and I have allocated 800GB for it).

Yes much to learn. But we should use another thread for this. We've already hijacked this one.

Where is this option located in the sim?

What he said!???

I had Lens Correction as 'on'...but after I shut down...the WideAspect (line 30) was set to '0'...are you sure that the two are linked?

Edited by Sesquashtoo

I think this switch was reported as broken / not working yet on a graphics optimisation thread somewhere.

Lens Correction does nothing for me but changing the WideAspect to = 1 does work.

However every time you exit MSFS it resets to 0. Also if i make any changes under Graphics and save those settings it resets WideApsect to 0 immediately.

Try setting the file to readonly.  Just as an experiment

Also, take a screenshot with it enabled and disabled.

Both images are identical in my case, so I think this setting has no effect at the moment.

To get to your .cfg 

WpSystem/S-1-5-21-****-1001/AppData/Local/Packages/Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe/LocalCache/FlightSimulator

or the easy way;  go to your MSFS2020 drive and type in the search bar MicrosoftFlightsimulator.cfg

Yeah the Lens Correction option seems to be broken at this time. But yes, it is supposed to manipulate VideViewAspect setting. Hopefully it'll get fixed in next patch.

Thank you for this great tip for setting the Aspect Ratio.  It works great...unfortunately, it does revert back to 0 after saving it to 1.  I sincerely hope Asobo corrects this with their updates.  Saving something in the config should be a no-brainer.

I made a shortcut to my desktop for the config just to make it easier to reset before flying.

That cfg file puzzles me. It shows all the TextInfo settings and text color settings but TMK there are no "brakes" or "Overspeed" or the info lines that shiftZ used to bring up.
