Hi,
I have setup a single widescreen 24 inch monitor with a resolution of 1900x1200. It seems the best size to get both the PDF and MFD on the screen at the same time and it is large enough to product readable text using the default 182.
However the G1000 2D Panel's aspect ratio in the default 182 at this wide resolution is incorrect and the panel is "squished" - I have found posts on Avsim talking about widescreen displays in FSX but they don't seem to have an effect

You can roughly get the aspect ratio correct by manually adjusting the panel - see video for example:

But this is not accurate as you can see I am just guessing, it also obscures the forward view from the cockpit window and doing this is a pain every time you fly.
What is the correct procedure to get the 2D panel in widescreen with the G1000 and the outside view with the correct aspect ratio? Do you have to alter the panel.cfg numbers for 16:9 displays or is there a single setting in panel.cfg that will make all this work automatically?
I saw from here:

There is a value called "window_size_ratio" but not sure is this applies.
Thanks.
