Does anyone have a HUD/ingame menu fix for Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead?
My search turned up this:
http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/12071
but this is still my result after trying it

Thanks heaps to anybody who can help...

*Edit...

Game is patched to 1.52
Running 3x24" @5760x1200

Would it be these values that I would need to change?

If so, to what :?

*Edit again...

All is fixed now using method in link. However it wasnt done exactly as described.
Just kept tryin and restarting and it eventually just worked :?

This line in your ARMA2OAPROFILE at C:Users...DocumentsArmA 2 will do the trick :

Is there a fix for in heli hud?

Is there a fix for in heli hud?

Yes there is, you have to use 12:3 in video options ,i'm using 3840x1024 so it may not work for you, but it probably will.
Only just found this option myself :D .
Its in advanced options with the video settings, under aspect ratio.

Thanks i will give it a try...
Im such a chopper whore lol

Looks like you're using Eyefinity + bezel compensation. What is your actual resolution ? Make sure the width is a multiple of 3 (so that the game can divide it by 3 and place all HUDs on the "middle third").

My solution was for 48:10, and 12:3 won't work any better. You need to calculate your actual aspect ratio (width/height) and then edit the two values:
fovTop=
fovLeft=

e.g if your actual bezel-compensated AR is 4.9:
fovTop=0.9
fovLeft=4

And like thales100 said, make sure "TripleHead" mode is enabled (again, it should be if your bezel-compensated width is dividable by 3):
tripleHead=1;

There should be nothing more to do for all HUDs and menus to be perfectly centered.

Can anyone help with my fov settings - the screens look slighty squashed in arma 2 OA.

Thanks but im not using bezel comp.
im running at actual 5760x1200

Then I don't know what to say. All my HUDs are centered in the demo (5040x1050).

Three 16:9 monitors & bezel comp: your aspect ratio is more than three times 16:9 (roughly 49:9). ;)
You're currently using a 3.75 (15:4) aspect ratio, so you get a "classic TripleHead" picture stretched to 49:9.
To correct this, simply divide display width by height:
4936/900=5.484
Then use these settings:
fovTop=0.484;
fovLeft=5;

thanks scavvenjahh - I will give it a go ;-)
