Three other views, taken from the same point as the aspect ratio shots.
All 1920x1200



I didn't even think about the other views, I never use anything but 'cockpit' type views in games: First Person or it is cheating ;)

Edit:
Added a 4:3 1600x1200 image in third person, edited detailed report to include slight HUD stretch

Ah excellent, thanks for the tip on the custom res! It didn't click until I just dug in. Just got a WS last week so still learning the ropes. For anyone else new to this follow the great tutorial here: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/posting.php?mode=editpost&p=116908

Then use the gtr2config.exe and the resolution will now show up in the list.

.

This link does not work due to the "edit" element in the link, nor does editing in the post number in the url to a "regular" post link - can someone post the correct link if they have it?

I have updated the ultra-widescreen and multi-monitor details. This game mostly works well at wider aspect ratios apart from the direction prompts increasing in size (see additional screenshots).

I have graded multi-monitor as limited due to the direction prompts becoming gigantic at these aspect ratios.
