December 1, 20232 yr I have an ultrawide monitor that is great. I fly the Fenix. Is there a Captains profile out there that doesn't stretch the entire view to the first officer side? Ideally i'd like to have a more realistic viewpoint from the captain flying perspective. I was curious for those using an Ultrawide and the Fenix what you are using.

December 2, 20232 yr It wouldn't be more realistic because in order to see the FO you would need a 180° FOV whereas the edges of your monitor don't reach your ears 🙂 The image would be very distorted with the elements on the sides very stretched and what is in front of you would appear much farther than it is. 7800X3D | 2x32 GB DDR5-6000 CL32 | RTX 5080 | Alienware OLED 34" | 1 Gbps fiber
December 2, 20232 yr Don't you just need to create a custom view and zoom aspect to the right size?

December 2, 20232 yr I have posted this before... the realworld PFD display is 6.25" x 6.25". If you zoom in to where that is the actual dimension on your screen, that is about as real as it can get. Many of the screenshots of see from this sim it appears the majority fly from the jump seat, I always found that odd.

I cringe when watching most YT videos and seeing how far back so many people seem to fly. It seems to be more imperative to be able to see the entire width of the MIP, than to have a realistic view scale of the instruments in front of the pilot.

Yup, and there is a FOV calculator over the msfs forums too that shows how to set it correctly too, depending on your distance from the screen and the screen size itself Edited December 2, 20232 yr by Ianrivaldosmith
