Does TC Support Ultrawide 21:9?

I can't seem to find this information anywhere.

There's a thread here discussing ultrawide resolutions, and 21:9 is mentioned. It's the same application regardless of whether you are using aircraft or tank content, so I can't see why there would be any specific issues with TC.

Ok, great, thanks.  I just bought the game and a new Ultrawide monitor, but I haven't opened the monitor yet as I'm still trying to convince myself that it's worth keeping (Gigabyte G34WQC).  I already have a 32" LG/1440p/IPS/75Hz monitor that I really like (only $269 CAD/$205USD from Costco):  https://www.costco.ca/lg-32-in.-qhd-ips-freesync-monitor-(2560-×-1440).product.100514955.html

 

I play lots of different games, but really ordered the new one out of impulse as it was on sale.  I play IL2, DCS, Dirt Rally 2.0, Squad, Combat Mission, and a few others regularly.  Should I keep the Ultrawide?

If I read the specs right, you are comparing the Gigabyte's 3440 * 1440 display with your existing 2560 * 1440 one? I suppose it comes down to whether you think 34% move pixels horizontally, along with potentially higher refresh rate ( that will depend on other factors too) is worth the price to you. Which probably depends on what else you could use the money for.

 

When I was looking at getting a new monitor for my PC upgrade, I looked at all sorts of different resolutions, and came to the conclusion that an ultra-wide wasn't my best option, mainly because my setup is rather cramped for space horizontally, and it made more sense to make use of the height I had - I bought a 31.5" 2560 * 1440. Other people seem to like the extra width though, since it adds to peripheral vision.

Yes, I'm comparing the two.  That's my biggest concern is the loss of vertical height (about 2").  Once I open it, I can't return it.  I have lots of space and have it mounted on an arm.  I guess I could always just give it to my son if I hate it.

I have an ultrawide, and I don't think I could go back to 16:9 after playing on 21:9 for a while.

 

There were zero issues with setup to use the monitor; I literally did nothing at all, and it worked right away.
