Overview

MSFS 2024 renders full-width without black bars at both 21:9 and 32:9, no dedicated fix needed. The recurring complaint is edge distortion — cockpit views can look stretched or fisheye-like at wide aspect ratios, which forum threads attribute to default zoom/FOV camera settings rather than a hard aspect-ratio bug. Expect to manually tune camera zoom per aircraft.

Fixes

No known fix yet.

There's no single fix — cockpit/edge distortion on wide aspect ratios comes from each aircraft's default camera zoom, so it needs manual per-aircraft camera tuning rather than a config file or mod.

Runs full-width natively; had to manually tune camera zoom per aircraft to reduce edge stretching.
