Okay, Mobius
Now that you've decided on a wide screen, there is the little issue of getting it set up in the game.
First you will, depending on your video card, need to copy one of the following into your config.ini file.
[window]
width=1680
height=1050
ColourBits=32
DepthBits=24
StencilBits=8
ChangeScreenRes=1
FullScreen=1
DrawIfNotFocused=0
EnableResize=0
EnableClose=1
SaveAspect=0
Use3Renders=0
or, at a slightly lower (but faster to render) resolution:
[window]
width=1440
height=900
ColourBits=32
DepthBits=24
StencilBits=8
ChangeScreenRes=1
FullScreen=1
DrawIfNotFocused=0
EnableResize=0
EnableClose=1
SaveAspect=0
Use3Renders=0
The pain in the ass part is that any time you go into IL2 Setup, your config will default to this:
[window]
width=640
height=480
ColourBits=16
I put a shortcut to my config in the start menu because as I have a dynamic IP I need to go into setup every time I want to play on line.
One other thing.
