4k FOV

[simonlange]

When you play Elite Dangerous on a 4k Display, lets say with 3840x1080 you may nottice that the outer third of the screen on the horizontal scale doe not scale correctly. round planets look squeezed, so does the surface of the planet if you are in a srv. The problem is, that the fov- value only affects the vertical scaling. I search the web and read all i could possibly find about that issue and i became clear to me that ED lacks of a good 4k resolution support. Sure, it does render on 4k, but the dimensions of the stuff on the screen actually are not correct.

Should be fixed or we may get a way to adjust that ourselbe in the options some day near?

Not sure why you would go for 3840x1080, but I can confirm that at 3840x2160 the horizontal scale is fine. PLanets are usually perfectly round.

The extra detail is lovely, but the text could be better, and recordings are a little difficult to read. There is also a minor problem with the red warning text in the bottom right of the screen, truncating part of the last letter. Apart from that I prefer it to my old reolution of 1920x1080

Not sure why you would go for 3840x1080,

because i used a saw to cut off the upper and lower part of my screen.

3840x1080 isnt 4k
and that resolution is why your Fov is squished

the fov is in the responsibility of Frontier. 3840x1080 is the native resolution. ALL (and i mean it!) ALL other premium games released in the past 2 Years dont have such an issue.

So. That should be fixed.
