I just finished building my new computer and decided to install 1946 i patched to 4.07 and 4.08m, however i seem to remember being able to up the resolution higher than 1280X1024X32 in game without changing anything within the games files. my monitor resolution goes up to 1440X1080 so i know cant be my monitor and my graphics card resolution is set to 1440x1080. I thought that 4.08m was supposed allow you to max out the resolution...anyway any help would be great thanks.

Sorry boss, but unless you manually modify the Conf.ini you will no tbe able to get a higher resolution than 1280by1024 at 32bits

Like IAR 80 says, go into your conf.ini file and change it:

[window]
width=1440
height=1080
ColourBits=32
DepthBits=24
StencilBits=8
ChangeScreenRes=1
FullScreen=1
DrawIfNotFocused=0
EnableResize=0
EnableClose=1
SaveAspect=1
Use3Renders=0

And if you've never been in your conf.ini and have a system that can handle it, also (near the bottom) change the following:

Sky=2
Forest=3
LandShading=3
LandDetails=2

LandGeom=3
TexLarge=1
TexLandQual=3
TexLandLarge=1

VideoSetupId=17
Water=4
Effects=2
ForceShaders3x=0

Your choice for Water= is 2, 3 or 4. There's some difference between 2, 3 and 4, but if it's too hard on your system, use 2.

yeah i tried the conf.ini file however when i change the resolution i get these two big black bars on either side of the screen, is there a way i can change that?

Check out this link for a great guide to the conf.ini http://www.mission4today.com/index.php? ... Base&cat=7

You will need to make sure you have the following to get rid of the bars - don't worry about them in the GUI they go away when you start flying - in addition to changing the resolution as above

change SaveAspect=0
ChangeScreenRes=1
EnableResize=0

Have fun

That is actually weird, because if you get black bars, you have a wide screen? 1440x1080 is a 4:3 screen. Are you sure your display's native resolution is 1440x1080, or is it actually a 1920x1080 one?

I was going from that info and a 4:3 screen gets SaveAspect=1 in the conf.ini.

my bad your right my max res is 1440x900 i dont know what i was thinking it is a widescreen. I'll try out the changes in my conf.ini file hopefully they work thanks for the link to the conf.ini guide its a lot of help. I think i may be going crazy though, i could have sworn that i could change the resolution to be much higher while in the game, is that a feature with 4.09b1?
