[Ultrawide/Triple Monitor] HUD/Menu Centering

Post by vZeroG »

I searched and it seems that it has been a bit since this was discussed, but it would really be nice to be able to center the Menu elements on screen rather than having them at the extents of my 7784x1440 3-monitor setup. A method to scale the horizontal boundaries would work well as it does in other games like Forza Horizon, etc.

I know I'm probably in the minority on this, and it looks like there used to be a mod for this, but I thought I would bring it up again for visibility.

Currently playing the latest version with both expansions, and I'll love this game either way - cheers for such great work! 🍻

P.S. - The map on the other hand looks AMAZING at this resolution!

I gave up on triple screen with X4 (for now) for this exact reason, and I have asked Bernd to consider a similar change. Will you consider sending him a polite email explaining the need here? Sometimes more people with the issue can help. Thanks!

Sure - is there a specific email address I should send to? Sorry, never contacted them before.

Here's an example of the issue:

Thanks, I'll message you with the email in case he doesn't want it posted. I believe he's posted it on reddit, etc. but best to be considerate about sharing more.

Actually, I see one of his emails is on their website, so that should be fine to use (Bernd is near the bottom): https://www.egosoft.com/press/
I encourage including your positive thoughts about the game, as he (and team) have to deal with a lot of mean and rude comments and appreciate when we call out stuff we like when asking for changes. :)

Option to globally decrease menu width will be added in a future version. (Sorry that it has been a while)
