Solutions & Issues

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

Native support. Menus are 16:9 (narrower aspect ratios are pillarboxed).

When using the cockpit camera the look right function may see beyond the end of the car model (depending on the FOV setting).

Ultra/Super-Wide (21:9/32:9) Specific Solution & Issues

Menus are pillarboxed 16:9.

Cockpit camera: car model ends suddenly when looking right when using higher FOV settings.

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues

Native multi-monitor detection. All HUD, menus, text prompts, etc. are confined to an appropriate centred location (16:9 for 3x16:9, 4:3 for 3x4:3; 3x4:3 menu is also letterboxed to fit within the space correctly).

Multi-monitor has the following flaws:

The camera may clip into very close objects depending on the FOV and aspect ratio, e.g. during the fly-through of the starting grid.
Cockpit camera: front passenger door window may end at the edge of the output when looking straight ahead depending on FOV.
Cockpit camera: car model ends suddenly when looking left/right.
