Ultrawide layout

[foolen]

Hi,

Back to PSX after some time away and now running on a PC with a 38" Ultrawide 21x9 monitor with 3840x1600 resolution. I feel I'm getting close but I can't quite nail down a great setup for the layouts, neither with one instance running nor 2 networked on the same screen.

Not 100% sure what I'm after but I guess fitting most of the important panels in one screen with the outside view at a reasonable size for t/o and landing.

Curious and greatful if anyone could share some ideas for this configuration or even actual layout-files.

Thanks,
Andreas

Hello Andreas,

I developed a 21:9 ultrawide layout that I find useful. It is built for 3440x1440 resolution, so not quite as high as yours (although I'm sure you could scale your display or caluculate the upscale for my layout).

I've arranged the layout so I can fly from either the Captain or FO seat. There's some logic to the way the layouts are assigned to the keyboard numpad too.

Here's some screenshots:

Numpad 1: Flightdeck overview


Numpad 2: Throttle quadrant & trim indicators:


Numpad 3: Centre pedestal:


Numpad 4: Captain instruments with MCP & RCP


Numpad 5: An all-in-one main panel view (my favourite when cruising)


Numpad 6: FO instruments with MCP & RCP


Numpad 7: Captain outside view (takeoff/landing - I alternate with view 4 to 'pop-up' the MCP)


Numpad 8: Overhead panel, engine start etc


Numpad 9: FO outside view (takeoff/landing - I alternate with view 6 to 'pop-up' the MCP)
