lomcevac Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 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: Air Force Four-Five, it appears your engine has...oh, disregard...I see you've already ejected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S77th-konkussion Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 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: Air Force Four-Five, it appears your engine has...oh, disregard...I see you've already ejected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I did - I was more focused on correcting problems than flying....

Guest Sidewinder Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Besides- Cali gave this to me I figured he knew what he was doing. hee hee. :doh: 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuky Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 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 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I copied it off a post on Ubi forums.. EDIT- Just found it-he posted 1.6..

lomcevac Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Just found it-he posted 1.6.. Feck..I don't know where I got it 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: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=305855&postcount=1 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 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 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...
