ChasePlane makes WideViewAspect=true mandatory so everyone gets the same camera results regardless of display size. It also lets you zoom out to a very large point of view, which ultrawide monitors and multi-screen setups sometimes require. This is not possible when the flag is set to false.

This video by Almost Aviation explains the ideal zoom (focal) setting for your simulator and the math behind WideViewAspect true and false.
