[p3dv5.4] Aspect ratio screwed --- by Avatar?

[19AB67 16]

Season greetings, folks! 

My new scenery since two days is Madeira FSX/p3d, 

and I thought it is a nice idea to walk around the p3d avatar (Shift-Ctrl-E). However, after returning to my cockpit I noticed that the aspect ratio is screwed up: 

Pressing backspace, not only the view zoomed out to 0.299999, but on top the view is squeezed horizontally. 

I am pretty sure that using the avatar triggered this. 

In setting before an after the wide screen tick box is set. 

It's screwed up independent of bird I am flying: I left an FSLabs A320, but now, loading the Maule at LPMA the same applies. 

How to fix this? 

Thanks in advance.

I suggest post details on the official LM P3D forum. There's a chance LM may see it, although they seem to have withdrawn support these days, unless it's paid for.

There have been  posts on the LM forum about unwanted changes to zoom levels in other situations. Seems to have started following changes made when P3D v4 was introduced.  I had posted a list of reproducible actions causing zoom changes when using view groups, even with default scenarios, but unfortunately LM have not responded.

I do not use the Avatar function, but have found certain menu selections can result in a change to a different zoom range, as though the wide aspect box is being ticked and unticked. This may be specific to using view groups, so I can't say if this is related to what you are seeing, but I do think there may be something that needs a fix.

As I said, it's hard to know if LM look at the forum these days, as posts are not usually responded to.
