Cab view is stuck on "zoomed out"

[Arc Light]

I've noticed that in the past few weeks that my cab view is now "zoomed out" when in full screen mode, resulting in two black bars. Previously, in full screen mode, the cab view would be zoomed in, not showing the top-most and bottom-most portions unless scrolled to. It's pretty distracting now.

Anyone know a solution?

Here is what it looks like now:

This was changed, part of a complete review of all the user options ( Options Tab ) in OR.
I've posted excerpts from the discussion at Elvas tower.
The CabView percentage stretch option has been removed.

Moving on to the next control:

The manual help is here at 6.3.9 Do read that and read on to consider the letterbox presentation with Ctrl+1

I am wondering if this %age stretch should be retired.

Instead of maintaining the original arrangement which filled the window with a distorted image, we could drop that entirely.Instead the image would always be undistorted and the user could simply choose between filling the window (and scrolling to see the hidden portions) and fitting the image wholly within the window and padding with black borders.

Bring on 3D cabs :-)

Does anyone ever run Open Rails with any stretch at all?

Yep, been using 70% forever...just checked, had not thought about it at all, until you posed the question. I scroll up or down now, slightly to see more of the cab, if necessary. If there's a reasonable option to get rid of it...I can adapt.

Thanks for being flexible about this.

Please try 0% stretch and Ryan's alternative Ctrl+1 too and see how you get on.

Your screenshot with the black bars on either side is normal for a 4:3 aspect cabview...MSTS default.
Control+1 will widen the cabview. Newest Manual >>> http://openrails.org/files/OpenRails-Testing-Manual.pdf

2D cab stretch option has been re-added on the latest MG version.

Yep, that is so...just read Carlo's post this morning, thanks for adding the info. I wonder if it will remain in MG, when MG becomes the standard?

I would hope so as it has been requested back after it was removed.
