I need to contradict you in some way. Compare to some other games, I can choose the resolution in the game and the "ingame-world" looks not strange streched or broken. The cockpit itself is working all the way left to right. Even the girl appears sometime at the right side and interact with the console.

So basically it is working fine in 5040x1050!
BUT! You are right when you say: The effects of the weapons are not designed with Multi Monitor in mind.
