49" ultra curved monitor

[Bobby Mayse]

I have bought a new 49" Samsung 5120 x 1440 monitor. When I am in the truck it stretches the view in the mirrors and down the side of the truck. Is there anything in the config file that I can change to fix this. Any info at all would be appreciated. Thanks

You can try to change the fov in the truck in the F2 (?) menu (the same one where you can move the seat and so) to try to get it better.

Nothing else you can do as far as i know. (expect not using a ultra wide resolution off course)

Glad you mention this. I considered a curved monitor.

That has nothing to do with the curve of the monitor, but with the resolution/aspect ratio of it.
A 16:9 curved will display the picture the same way as a 16:9 non curved monitor (you will only notice the curve if you are not used to it).

If you use a ultra wide monitor (i think those are usually 21:9) with the proper resolution there will be some sort of distortion by default on games with a first person view, as the stuff you see to the left/right increases and therefore the standard fov might not be the best fit for that and might be changed (if possible)

I use a Samsung 49 inch curved screen tv that I use for my monitor. I'm running 4K 3840x2160 (16:9) with no problem with mirrors stretching. Maybe try this resolution and see if it helps.

I don't know if this will help you, but in ATS/ETS you can also split a monitor into several views with different viewing angles. The search terms ETS 2 Multimonitor should help you.

I tried the summing 49 also but sent it back it also had a vertical green line.
Have 3x24" gaming monitors its pretty nice. Driving, flying space battles just have get over the line between but 3 border-less monitors running Surround in Nvidia, I would only upgrade my monitors if anything

i have 5120x1440, and am using the v2/v3 file in the above link

Edit the following line in that global config.cfg file,Docs>ATS>config.cfg to the following:
uset r_multimon_mode "4" <-- Tells the game to use the multimon_config.sii file we just installed.
It treats your single screen as 3 separate screens. There will be a slightly reduced fps

Settled on v3 FOV 60-11.5deg. Looks ok
