Widescreen is wonderful!

Very cool, Rockdog

One question though... It seems like you're missing a lot of view above the cockpit (front forward view) that would come in handy for tracking guys in a dogfight...  Do you purposely have it set up that way as a preference, or is that what it defaults to?

Vukak,
It just looks that way because the X dimension is so wide.  His resolution is 6000x1200 instead of my 1920x1200 (for example).

The Y dimension (height) is determined by the native resolution of your monitor.  In my case as with Rockdog's, our native resolution for a widescreen monitor is 1920x1200 which means that the height would be fixed even if he had four or five monitors arrayed along the X dimension.

Hope that makes sense.  If he could have five monitors for example (two on each side), his "screen resolution" would be 4x1920 X 1200 = 9600 X 1200.   That would be rather obscene of course.

It's no brainer

get both!


EDIT:  or for the price of 3 monitors, get Sony XBR instead

Btw, does triple screen mode support widescreen monitors with 1280x800 and 1440x900 resolution?

My screen goes black and i have to tab/alt out to desktop and back to see game again. As I understand, I'm not the only one.

I've been using wide screen support btw.

Other than that, it's been nice all the way up to..wtfjust happened

In the pictures, the perspective looks way off, but when playing it looks perfect. The reason is that the distortion is due to the monitors being angled in slightly on the sides and the image is seen in my periferal vision. It really hels the illusion. I have been playing with three monitors and many other programs light FSx, FPS' like battlefield, and driving games, but the perspective in AH looks the best.

Great job HTC!!!!!!!

Wait wait wait... this works with FSX? I thought SoftTH wasnt working with FSX?

I am amazed what a difference a couple of extra inches of screen makes!

Thats what my girlfriend keeps telling me. At least thats what I think she said...


I have a 22 inch screen, and I'm happy with the new widescreen view. Just 'feels' better. Plus I get to see my imminent death a little easier

Here's another key part that I don't know if anyone picked up on:

You will notice on the 16:10 monitors with the "wide screen" video setting that now the clipboard is also in correct ratio and doesn't take up the whole screen as it did before.  You can easily see more when flying while having the clipboard up.  This makes it quite a bit easier to multitask while in the cockpit.

Wow, I now have a serious case of screen envy.  Rockdog

[Pyro]

Rockdog, what FOV setting are you using?

[infowars]

I have a wide screen monitor.  Do I need to enable something to take advantage of the new wide screen capabilities or does it auto adjust?  Thanks

[Spikes]

Problems:
I changed it to wide screen in the video settings, nothing happened.

You do know you can change the size of the clipboard right?

Yea. Was a pain in the ass. I've got a 24" wide lcd native res 1920x1200. I was playing in 1280x1024 with megastretch fatty planes. Got tired of having to bind pagedown to my stick so that I could see my damn ammo
