I think you can set the desired resolution in the IL-2 Setup in the games main directory.

Lol

Use your conf.ini and set the height and width on the top of the file, then saveaspect to 0.

I also use a resolution of 1280 x 1024.
This part of your file "conf.ini" must be so:

[window]
width=1280
height=1024

ColourBits=32
DepthBits=24
StencilBits=8
ChangeScreenRes=1
FullScreen=1
DrawIfNotFocused=0
EnableResize=0
EnableClose=1
SaveAspect=0
Use3Renders=0

hmmm . . . I had the game set on:

[window]
width=1152
height=864
ColourBits=32
DepthBits=24
StencilBits=8
ChangeScreenRes=1
FullScreen=1
DrawIfNotFocused=0
EnableResize=0
EnableClose=1
SaveAspect=1
Use3Renders=0

Then I made the changes as suggested here---and the game would not boot up.

Then I changed it back, and it booted up fine.

Any suggestions?
I would prefer the 1280x1024 res.

Best,

Change Saveaspect to 0, Saveaspect 1 forces 4:3 image.

Yeah, man, I set it up just as instructed:

[window]
width=1280
height=1024
ColourBits=32
DepthBits=24
StencilBits=8
ChangeScreenRes=1
FullScreen=1
DrawIfNotFocused=0
EnableResize=0
EnableClose=1
SaveAspect=0
Use3Renders=0

Won't boot up.

Dang------is there something that I am missing?

Lefty Hartnett, you must put a resolution that the monitor can handle.

This part of conf.ini, is usually as follows:

[Window]
width = 1024 Window / screen width in pixels
height = 768 Window / screen height in pixels
ColourBits = 32 Color depth in bits (16/32)
Recommendation: 32
DepthBits = 24 Accuracy of depth information (ZBuffer) (16/24)
Recommendation: 24
StencilBits = 8 Size of the stencil buffer in bits (0 /
Recommendation: 8
ChangeScreenRes = 1 change screen resolution permit (other than desktop resolution) (0 / 1)
Recommended: 1
Full Screen = 1 Full screen or window mode (0 / 1)
Recommended: 1
DrawIfNotFocused = 0 Refresh the image, even if the window in the background (0 / 1)
Recommended: 0
EnableResize = 0 Change window size to allow (0 / 1)
Recommended: 0
EnableClose = 1 "Close" button in the window display mode (0 / 1)
Recommended: 1
SaveAspect = 1 Aspect Ratio 4:3 force (0 / 1)
Recommended: 0
Use3Renders = 0 Use of three screens (Multi-Display)
eg for Parhelia Graphics (0 / 1)
Recommended: 0
