pauldy Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Good day, I just upgraded monitors from a Decade old 4:3 Samsung to a widescreen Philips LED.. The native resolution is at 1920x1080.. I'd like to know what is needed to be done to get DCS displaying at the proper Aspect Ratio for my given resolution.. I've selected 16:9 in the game settings but for some reason, DCS World still looks a bit "Squished" .... Regards^^ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a reference, the wheels for example are round and not squished, from what i can see. Skickat från min Nexus 5 via Tapatalk Edited November 27, 2017 by MYSE1234 Viggen is love. Viggen is life.

grunf Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 16:9 is a proper aspect ratio for 1920x1080. Doesn't look "Squished" to me. :D Maybe you're just having a hard time adapting from 4:3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art-J Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Had the same impression when moving from my 4:3 CRT to a widescreen 16:10 (1920x1200) years ago, though it was more noticeable in the race sims. Ended up making lots of sideways screenshots and measuring wheel dimensions directly on the screen :D. Turns out the 4:3 was displaying the image a bit too narrow and the widescreen was actually right. Your screenshot is correct, you'll get used to it too. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

SUNTSAG Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hi, I have no idea if this helps or not but here are my settings that suit my personal preferences in 1920 x 1080. You can try it out and always change back if back if it does not suit. Cheers Callsign: NAKED My YouTube Channel [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalsky Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Aspect Ratio for 1920x1080 should be 16:9 not 1.7777. I noticed that my DCS World 2 keeps changing Aspect ratio to 1.7777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art-J Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 ^ Well, that is indeed not the usual way of expressing image aspect ratios, but at least the result of dividing the 16 by 9 is correct :D. I wonder why it's being displayed like that for some players, though. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
