Add widescreen support

[FormelLMS]

I know many using the new widescreen Monitors.
ETS is running but image is stretched.

Using a multimon setup doesn't give a good experience.

So how it is to insert a support for widescreen Monitors 32:9?

I really hope to see this feature. For now it's a bit annoying.

Have you set your monitor resolution in the graphics options?

[FormelLMS]

Yes, I did. This works, but as mentioned: it's stretched

Both Simulator don't support 32:9

If you don't get any joy with the graphics settings, you could try editing the config. Look for "uset r_mode_height" and "uset r_mode_width" and enter the numbers you need.
Note - keep a backup copy of your config and I can't say for certain that it will work. But it's worth a try.

What he means is the effect of fischeye:

This is a screenshot taken in 4240 x 1050 res. Used 2 displays in those times. His 32:9 widescreen is like using tripple setup but in 1 display. So multimode 2 or higher would just cut the scene and results in vertical lines on display:

For those aspect ratios the game needs another rendering solution. Not a flat "canvas" - it should be a 180° curved "canvas".

Thanks Paulebaer. My English seems not that good.
You have explained it perfectly.

Other Sim titles have had the same problems, but have fixed it with an update.

Tried it with multimon also, but it's not the real thing. It's costs mich frames and, as you already said correct, you get those vertical lines.

So I really hope for a true widescreen support from the devs of the game.

I have just a 21:9 (slight curve) but I already have the distortion...

[FormelLMS]

Seems that rendering can only handle 16:9 and probably 4:3 well.
It's really a thing for the devs and hopefully they will hear us.

Just to show some extreme results:

FOV slider is at minimum

FOV slider at 90. Not realy nice to drive.
