[@jeumettu]

really helpful. thank you sir.

[@pigeonpallz1733]

Is there a way to have the regular aspect ratio and the option for widescreen? I personally watch most videos on my mobile phone . I don't know if it helps . Thank you for making videos they are helpful

[@VKNorthern]

Sadly I don't have any option to make it so that it can be viewed in either or on UA-cam so it would have to be one or the other so I wanted to know if people were fine with it in ultrawide or if they wanted me to make them in 16:9 aspect ratio. And thank you for your support, glad you find the content helpful!

[@gort2352]

@@VKNorthern I vote 16:9. Hello and thanks for the video, I'm a huge X-plane fan. Austin Meyer said X-plane 12 will be completely backwards compatible, so good news for all of the apps you've featured here.

@@gort2352 Thanks for your input on the aspect ratio! As for X-Plane 12 backwards compatibility, it's great that they are working to make it backwards compatible but I believe that some stuff might not work out of the gate and might need a little reworking. Let's hope it's easy for developers to transfer their addons from 11 to 12!

How to get airbus 320 bro?

[@mrmimasmoon]

i actully like this aspect ratio for a flight sim

[@VKNorthern]

The ultrawide aspect ratio works well with flight simulators, so I decided to stick with it. All my future videos will be recorded in 3440x1440.
Thanks for your input!

[@pigeonpallz1733]

Actually the wide screen isnt bad .

[@thaisolteanu181]

Does the GPU actually work with Simple Ground Services ?

[@vidulysserewop2715]

Its for visuals only, confirmed on the download page.

[@birdie8271]

[@pixel-ink]

No, don't like it. Top/Bottom space is black. Less to see. Please use normal 16.9 ratio

[@sergioalvarado6504]

I have 3 curved screens. all are on .but I fond out that using one screen on start up I could stretch the screen to all 3 screens . It not only helps your frame but you can adjust the visuals. Try it out.

Lol, Got my ultrawide a while ago and now I cant go back.
