yes but you will lose the upper and lower part of screen... what you will have is a cropped visual.. and you will lost the rear mirror and the artificial horizont and other instruments... have you noticed that? try with saveaspectratio=0 and you'll see that you'll have the same horizontal view, not a pixel less, but more vertical view...

I haven't compared the two directly but I usually fly with a wide FOV so I didn't notice that the mirrors or guages where being cropped out. It depends on which aircraft too, some of the "newer" aircraft (PF and beyond I guess) have a nice range of FOV, whereas some older aircraft have a FOV that is too close to the instrument panel, so its like flying with tunnel vision.

There is a difference between field of view (number of degrees encompassed in the image) and field of view (number of degrees not obscured by the cockpit). Il-2 actually lets one distort the image so as to see more degrees than a screen's width alone would allow.

I'm guessing that what you're most likely seeing with the Pacific theatre aircraft are simply better cockpit designs intended for visibility during carrier landings.

i did some tests, i mapped 2 keys in IL-2 "increase FOV" and "decrease FOV", and here is the result. the screenshots are taken with the black bars and standard FOV, the sovrimpressed screenshot is taken with SaveAspect=0 and i pressed 2 times the increase FOV key. it looks identical.. with no distortion... can somebody confirm that? if this is true than we just need to map the 2 keys and tap increase FOV 2 times every time we start a new flight... i'm using 1440x900 i don't know with other resolutions if it is the same..

Like Kwiatek said, it can't be that hard. I play a lot of old games like the first Rainbow six games, Ghost Recon, In Cold Blood, Deus Ex,... at my job on my labtop and they can be set at 1440 X 900 resolution. Those do have the option ingame and they just look a bit nicer. So, if I can play those old titles at widescreen resolution, I'm sure Il2 should have the possibility to.

As i said implement FOV=100 ( stock is 90) in game would change thing a lot. Actually there is a need to used external soft FOV changer to have real Widescreen view in game without losing any part of view ( like in 4:3). SO implement FOV=100 and also some things from Widescreen Mod ( like new map, menu etc) will give us real widescreen option. I think it shouldn't be so hard if it was alread done by some moders.

S!

Interesting subject, but I expect to hear on the 4.10 news here


It would be time we have any probable date of release
