I've noticed that, from time to time when I go into spot view the wings and fuselage seem strangely elongated as though viewed through a fisheye lens. I'm not sure under what circumstances it occures. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yeah, I've noticed this too, I believe that occurs when the zoom gets messed up.
Pressing Ctrl + Spacebar should fix it.

Thanks for the prompt replies guys. I've been trying to get it to happen so that I can try the Ctrl+space trick but needless to say I haven't been able to reproduce the problem, but I'm sure it will happen when I least expect it.
Can't say I've ever had this problem in FS9 Gary but I may just have been lucky.
Thanks again.

I've had that problem once in a while too. I've also had the occasional camera view appear to be 5-10 miles away from the aircraft. Shocked
