viewsonic 20 inch monitor settings .

[littlejohn1959]

greetings . i have a widescreen monitor . i play the game at 1680x1050 . i have read that the aspect ratio ratio needs to be different than what i have.

do i need to change anything?

the game seems to run o.k .

any suggestions , would be great .

thanks for reading .

cheers .

Here's my values- all good here. Looks like a match to me.

 

DisplayMode

{

resolution = {1680, 1050};

bpp = 32;

fullscreen = 1;

aspect = 1.333333373;

Interface

{

resolution = {1680, 1050};

bpp = 32;

fullscreen = 1;

aspect = 1.333333373;

}

Simulation

{

resolution = {1680, 1050};

bpp = 32;

fullscreen = 1;

aspect = 1.333333373;

}

AVI

{

resolution = {640, 480};

fullscreen = 0;

aspect = 1.3333;

cheers mate . thanks much for the reply .

To find your aspect ratio, take 1680 and divide by 1050. You will get 1.6 not 1.333333. Substitute 1.6 anywhere you have 1.333333 when viewing at your monitor's native resolution.... Unless you like looking at flattened aircraft and a short wide world. :doh:

OMG S77 you have flat planes and unproportional screen, change aspect ratio to 1.6

cheers .

This is what a real F-15 looks like:

 

 

This is what it looks like on your computer.

 

 

But, you're probably used to that, aren't you?:lol:

[S77th-konkussion]

Well Boberros- I don't use external views when I fly. I got this right from Cali- but sure- I'll try it out an see if it makes any difference in the cockpit. It's not bothering me to be honest.

Neither do I, but I like to fly formation and get involved in some gun fighting! It's supposed to be a sim, right? So it should look like it does IRL, I suppose... :noexpression:

if you leave aspect ratio to 1.33333 and use wide screen monitor, your screen will be stretched :smilewink: and you never noticed this huh? :huh:

[littlejohn1959]

i am not sure its as bad as you say.

to be honest , i am barely use to the total game . i am new .

cheers all the same .

[lomcevac]

Kuky's right Here's what your cockpit looks like:

 

 

Here's what mine looks like:

 

Sorry about the large pictures, but they're wide screen!

[littlejohn1959]

could you post a pic of the 1333333, and the 1.6 aspect ratio?

so i can compare the difference .

its all NEW to me .

cockpit pics , if you can .

cheers again .

 

sorry about that .

you allready posted some .

cheers .

[lomcevac]

:huh: Just look above your last post! :smartass:

 

Air Force Four-Five, it appears your engine has...oh, disregard...I see you've already ejected

[littlejohn1959]

so , bare with me , its all new .

i can see the difference .

i changes the 1333333. to 1.6 ?

marked in red .

then SAVES .

is that right?

cheers

I noticed- but it seemed a minor issue because I was so frustrated with CH manager- that I never flew a whole lot since I got the monitor. When I did - I was more focused on correcting problems than flying....

 

 

Besides- Cali gave this to me I figured he knew what he was doing. hee hee. :doh:

Everything except the last one, titled AVI, since it's using 640x480, which is still 1.33333.

Konkussion when did I tell you to use 1.33333333, I just posted in lock on UBI forums the I use 1.6. I have been using 1.6 ever since I had my LCD WS montior which has been almost 1 1/2 years now. :chair:

[Kuky]

konkussion, could it be you just used Cali's graphics.cfg settings cause if you did and Cali doesn't have widescreen monitor and you do, there goes your discrepancy.

[S77th-konkussion]

I copied it off a post on Ubi forums..

 

EDIT- Just found it-he posted 1.6.. Feck..I don't know where I got it

[lomcevac]

I'll tell ya what happened. You went into the options screen after you used the post on the forum with 1.6 & it all changed back to 1.333333! It's a PITA but can be solved with the following:

Just use the bat file and it'll take care of the aspect changes when you enter the options menu & any TrackIR issues that might have been cropping up!

[S77th-konkussion]

Yeah I'm set now- changed it the night y'all brought it up. Like I said- I thought it was a bit odd- but I blew it off cause I had bigger fish to fry at the time.. by the time i sorted out my other issues, I had gotten used to it...
