With the 'oval' shaped stuff, that usually is indicative of an improper video stream set-up somewhere along the line. Analog CRTs it usually doesn't matter, except the ratio, such as with 4:3, 5:3 or widescreen. Match that. With LCD screens, find out what your monitor's "Native" resolution is. Windows will usually show the monitor's native as "recommended". So my monitor does 1920x1080 at 60Hz. That is what I have Windows set to. Another monitor of mine is 1280x1024 for a 5:4 resolution, so that is set-up that way. Then, in the game, choose the same resolution, and you should be good to go. By default, the game runs at 1024x768, which is 4:3 and will distort your scopes and dials... "Options" on the main menu, "Graphic Settings", then "Game Resolution" drop-down. Click "Apply changes", you'll get a 'Are you sure?', then "Yes", and exit all of the way out of the game for the settings changes to take effect. Re-start, and you should be "even" on the circles, and your crew should also be proportioned more like humans...
