Skuzzy what is the highest widescreen resolution supported by AH?

Whatever the video card/monitor supports. Check the option to show all the resolutions in the game's "Video Settings". Those are the ones reported by the video card to be supported.

my 7800GS CO pushes my 24" widescreen at 1920×1200 in AH without any problem

As long as AH doesnt have problems with aspect ratios of 16:9 I wont have any problems then?

AH has no problem with 16:9 but you may without Track IR with the top n bottom of your view cropped.

I have TrackIR. Is there an optimum aspect ratio?

At 16:9, the top and bottom of the screen is cropped in Aces High II.

At what ratio is it not cropped?

1024 x 768 is a 4:3 format
1280 x1024 is a 5:4 format

In the cockpit you will see the same from left to right with both resolutions, but top to buttom there will be more visible with 5:4

If the 1024x768 resolution is equalized to the 1280x1024 resolution without changing aspect ratio it would be:

(1024*1,25) x (768*1,25) = 1280 x 960 (which is 1024-960=64 vertical pixels less than the 1280x1024 resolution)

Yes, the 1280x1024 resolution is the odd one. DirectX is doing the aspect ratio adjustments there though.

Technically, the game supports 4:3 natively.

Im using a 42" widescreen at 16:9 but the native resolution (1360x768) is not so good. From what I learned in this thread I went looking for one that supports a more appropriate ratio but so far the largest I can find is 32". If anyone finds something closer to one meter (40 or 42") that supports a 4:3 ratio please post about it.

I don't have Track IR, so for gameplay I use 1280 x1024 with my 60" Sony displaying 1920x1080p.

I seem to do 1440x900 just fine

I did 1920x1080 just fine, also but can't live with the cropped view.
