Double QHD Monitor Question

[FTC_Knipser]

I am thinking about getting a new Monitor, a DQHD Screen with a resolution of 5.120 x 1.440, wich is actually the size of two QHD screens next to each other.

Technically IL2 can handle this resolution, i have seen a few videos on Youtube, where people are actually playing the game in this crazy resolution.
The question that came up after watching those videos is: How does IL2 handle the aspect ratio/cropping of that ultra wide resolution? Maybe someone of you can answer that question.

I made two pictures to illustrate my question:

This is how i would expect IL2 to look with this kind of resolution: Basically a the image from a regular QHD Screen extended left and right ( just stitched some screenshots together):


But after watching those clips on Youtube it seems to me, that IL2 is not able to handle that super wide aspect ratio correctly and it displays the game like this, as if it would just crop the image top and bottom to get the correct framing.


Maybe someone uses a monitor like this, and can answer me this question. I would really appreciate some help with this topic.
Cheers!

Afternoon Knipser,

So I have this monitor https://www.samsung.com/ca/monitors/gaming/super-ultra-wide-dual-qhd-32-9-gaming-monitor-49-inch-lc49rg90ssnxza/

 

I play in ultra graphics and have no issues whatsoever. its a definite help to spotting, formation flying and general spacial awareness without having multple monitors and gaps inbetween. Some images below:

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only slight issue is that il-2 doesnt fully accept the resolution of 5120 x 1440, so at the very sides its a tad zoomed in as shown:

 

 

 

and also the main screen zooms in:

 

 

But all in all i dont look back on my purchase, most games have zero issues on the wide screen and id highly recommend.

If you need anymore shots just let me know!
