Widescreen problem - Tiffle - 06.03.2009

Hi
Does anyone know why the blue arrow isnt right on the edge of my screen also if there are any planes to my right i dont see any arrows at all,but the arrows seem to reach the top and bottom of screen ok.
Also u can see the info text is not in the very corner of the screen.

I play at 1440x900 with saveaspect=0

If i play at 1280x960 with/without saveaspect (didnt make a diference) the gauges/info and arrows all display correctly and show up on all sides of the monitor.

I hope one of you technically gifted aces here can shed some light for me please.

Not a problem but a 'feature'

Dosn't seem like a feature to me old chap when i cant see planes to my right because of no arrows being displayed Smile

I had the same problem. I set il2 config to 1280x1024 disable aspect ratio. The arrows did not appear on the top of the screen. Unfortunately i never solved the issue. I just restored defaults because having no arrows is a huge disadvantage in HL.

hi guys,
My screen res is 1650 x 1050 22'' and as far as i know i dont think we can get around this problem, it's just the way the game is made ( before widescreens were main stream ).

I have a joy stick ( Thrust Master COUGAR ) that has a thumb mouse stick and i have learnt to use it to move my view around so i can track those red or blue arrows.

If there is away to get around this i sure would like to know aswell.

The arrows appear like that in Wonder Woman view simply because the game was never designed to support resolutions higher than 1024 x 768. We have gone beyond those limits with Conf.ini tweaks and now the widescreen mod. There really isn't anything wrong with your game, it's just getting older is all.

Thanks for the replys guys i'll have to live with it then i guess, its not really a biggie anyway.
