The FOV values can be calculated with the FOV Calculator, they are displayed as "new hFOV & vFOV" below the "Optional fields" box. The ratio is display as "Surround aspect ratio" below the "Required fields" box.
The vertical menu FOV should be around 75 or some texts won't line up with the background.
The horizontal menu FOV should not be set above 102 or the briefing text will be partially cut off on the left.
The aspect ratio will be reset whenever the display options are opened, but set again when the game is started.

The main menu does not display the quit option in widescreen resolutions. The game can be exited by pressing "Alt-F4" or by quitting from the in-game menu. Certain text will overlap in widescreen resolutions.
The in-game menus do not stretch and have some cropping at the bottom of the screen in widescreen resolutions. There are slight text-alignment problems with the in-game menus in certain aspect ratios. In-game subtitles will crop in widescreen resolutions. The subtitles are unreadable in 16:9 aspect ratios.
