Flying at 3840*1080. The images are resized because 3840 pixels wide would be too wide to show here, but you get the idea. 

 

Result: you see much more laterally. In my 43" monitor I have tested three UW modes: 3840*1080, 3840*1440 and 3840*1600. The feeling doesn't convince me. In air-to-air combat it's a bit dizzying. But it undoubtedly improves situational awareness (I know this is not VR).

 

Personally I have returned to my standard 4K resolution (3840*2160). But I'll take this opportunity to show them off.

How about 3, 65"-4K's. That's 11520x2160

I remember trying eyefinity when it first came out, 3x 24" 1080p monitors and it lasted no more than a few months.  The excessive fish eye distortion near the edges in your screenshots show why.  I understand it is down to personal preference but the serious distortion is just too jarring for me.  I know this is not to the same extent but your screenshots aren't exactly selling the format as "wow"

 

Until devs find a way to work around these distortions I will never find ultrawide a useable format for gaming.

ratio is the key 21:9 is much better for side spotting than 16:9,  but how about 32:9 how big is the side distortion ? I would like to see more height in monitors there are x :10 but it is all I think.

I have to say that I think all of the pics you have posted here look good to me. I understand that being in front of that monitor setup may change my mind, but I like what I am seeing here. I have just purchased a Samsung 32" G7 2560x1440 monitor with a 1000 curve. I had 11 days to test drive it and  ended up liking it and keeping it. It all comes down to personal taste I suppose as long as the monitor has good PPI. The Samsung G9 Ultra wide curved monitor is similar to what you show here, but I like the 2560x1440 format better.

Is anyone here coming from a 32" 1440p/75Hz IPS (16:9) to an Ultrawide?  I have an unopened Gigabyte G34WQC that I'm mulling opening or returning.  My main concern is the loss of about 2" vertically.  I mainly fly IL2 and DCS, but also play a lot of Dirt Rally 2.0 among other games (I don't play FPS other than Squad).  Any thoughts?  I really like the 32" I have, but think I'm somehow missing out.  I paid $269 CAD for the one I have now, $539 CAD for the one in the box.  This is what I have now:
