Have not tried. At this point I'm ready to put the sim down until the next patch comes out.

I notice your field of view is not completely stuffed by default. Has something changed in a patch to automatically handle aspect ratios other than 4:3 or have you been playing with configs to alter it? I know there's a command to manually increase/decrease FoV but it's still based around a 4:3 AR and so the natural consequence is that you get Vert-, which is disorienting and gives me headaches. True widescreen support would be Hor+ only and yours doesn't look too far off that in the clip you posted, but it's hard to be sure based on a small YouTube video.

EDIT: Just gave it another crack. Clearly nothing was changed in a patch, it's still Vert- and horrible to look at. Yours still looks better than mine, so I'm curious if you've found a config setting somewhere that I haven't? Or maybe yours is still Vert- and you're being conservative on how far back you zoom it?

Something did change with 14550. By default zoom level is correct, before it was too close.
Not sure what the difference is between increasing the FOV and Hor+? There is no loss of vertical content and no fisheye effect that would result from Vert-.

Your headache is probably the result of stuttering.

I may have a cache issue, because I definitely still have Vert- and manually increasing the FoV gives a serious fisheye effect. I do not have particularly serious stuttering at the moment and it doesn't give me headaches regardless. It gets my blood pressure up but that's not the same.

EDIT: Yep, cache problem. They have indeed swapped out their hardcoded values for a proper algorithm. I wonder if they borrowed the one I posted a few weeks back? Doesn't matter either way, I'm just happy it's working. Performance is still pretty awful but it's a start!

Random side question, I see you have a HOTAS Warthog. Are you using a custom TARGET profile for it or just manually binding controls in game?

Manually binding...

Update!
Most of my issues are resolved, see:

damn11 i don't believe the fan speeds on those 6990s, apparently they're as noisey as a jet taking off when pushed to the max .. obviously the Crossfire combo has shared the strain.

Any suggestions on setting up the game to work with 3 monitors? Its unplayable for me. I doesn't even work with it set to a single monitor resolution.

The display port monitor goes to sleep as soon as the game starts (naturally it the one where the button is hidden by the overlapping bezel of the center monitor). Then the game seems to get confused about which monitor is where and shifts everything right one monitor. The menus are cut in half by the 1st & 2nd monitor bezels.

Even trying to run in single monitor mode, these problems still occur (how the hell the menu problem still occurs is beyond me). Plus the game wants to run 3 copies of the display, instead of just running on the center monitor. This happens each time the display port monitor goes to sleep, which is everytime I try to fix something, thus the display keeps shifting over one.

Lots of cursing during the whole process.

ATI 5850 in Eyefinity driving 3x 22" monitors. I have a second 5850, but have it disabled at the moment (Crossfire is another complication that I am avoiding while trying to get basic functionality).

Hey Grintch,

Sorry, at least from the ATI perspective for me it was pretty painless experience.
Obvious questions, but are your ATI drivers up to date (11.5)? Do other games run using infinity?
Sounds like you are running extended displays.
Did you try to set a different preferred display under the AMD Eyefinity Multi-Display Settings?

Hey roadczar....from your last video it still looks like you get stuttering especially at low level....is this the case or is that youtube?
