==Screen Change==

From the looks of things, the controls stretch, but the 3D landscape is vert -. I guess this game would be considered vert -, but the stretched controls would be considered a major singleplayer anomaly.


== Singleplayer anomalies ==

I would note the stretched controls here.


== Multiplayer anomalies ==

You forgot this section.


== Aspect ratio ==

You forgot this section.


== HUD stretch ==

Does the game feature any kind of HUD aside from the cockpit controls?


==Grading==

Calculated grade: C
Potential grade: C+

Major unresolved issues:
None

Minor unresolved issues:
(waiting for completion of report)

Summary of widescreen-related flaws:

Stretched controls

Cranky's coverage estimate: 95.5%

As far as stretched HUD, there's a "kneeboard" that contains flight info, which is also stretched.

THe 3DVC is fine and suffers from no distortion. It's all I ever fly, along with using TrackIR.
