Just thought I'd throw in my pedantic observation!!My widescreen monitors are 1920x1200 and 2560x1600 both of which have an aspect ratio of 16:10 (or 8:5)RegardsJim

Most other games released now have native widescreen support. Let's hope flightsim addon developers catch up to this quickly.

:-lol You're absolutely right Jim. I'm so used to 16 : 9 in TV I forgot it's slightly different for PCs.Cheers,

And if they (the consoles) WERE user upgradeable systems they'd be PCs, of a type. All the games I've seen which I rate as "good" are massively extensible. I don't want to lose that functionality. The peeps who play Oblivion on a console got a short, sharp reminder of that. No non-game_company extension on the console version.Just my v$0.00002:D

I would certainly start to make 2D panels to fit widescreen if I used one. Trouble is I have never seem a LCD screen to match my 19" CRT.I also have a 100hz Sony TV at home (for watching TV) I have never seen a LCD (or plasma) TV to match it either...ok HD TV will beat it but if and when it arrives.So..... a bit like FSX ...I don't just by new things because they are new.... I have to know they are better.! :-hah

I moved from a good 19". My LCD beats it hands down, no question. BUT I did have to pay for the quality. I figured, I look at this damned monitor almost every day for FS, other games, work, internet etc... it was worth the expense. I also fly exclusively VC so the wide issue is a non-issue for me. Just my 2 cents.
