My PC screen is 12" high and 21" wide (SAMSUNG Syncmaster 2494).

How can I set FSX so that the FSX window fill up the screen without messing up the screen ratio? (i.e. so that squares look as squares). Right nos my FSX window show the squares square if I show it 12" high and 16" wide.Is there anything I nees to sep in the NGX model? or in FSX?

You should really read the Introduction manual for the NGX, there is lots of good information in there. There is a line you need to add to your fsx.cfg file. If you don't know where it is look in the Introduction manual for more information.

In the [DISPLAY] section: Add the following lines (if they are not alreadypresent) if you have a wide-screen monitor running a 16:9 or 16:9resolution:• WideViewAspect=True

I read those and the line is there already.

So, must be something else

Hi Alvaro,

this may be obvious ... but have you selected and checked the proper resolution in your FSX settings to match your monitor? I once had an issue with FSX reverting to some default setting after I made some changes. Which graphics card do you use?

(I am not at my sim PC right now; perhaps I can help once I return to it).

Hi Sigmar,

 

My graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce 210.

In Win7-64 the screen resolution is setup as 1920 X 1080 true color 32bits.

In FSX my display settings were 1024X720X32 

I changed those to be the same as Windows: 1920X1080X32

However, the 737 Cabin looks unreally stretched horizontally. The square that has the PFD panel (the one that has Altitude, V-speed, and the blue over brown gyro-like instrument display) shows as a rectangle 5 Inch wide and 4 Inch high. Not as as a square with width and height equal. 

 

Again, and for clarity: what I want is to setup the PC such that the NGX737 occupies the full screen without distorting the image of the VC (Let the circles be circles and the squares squares - not rectangles)

 

Help is appreciated.

Sigmar,

Looks like having applied the fix above, the VC view is OK. The issue is the 2D view.

I use VC (3D) mostly. So, thanks for the hint.

Alvaro.

There are multiple versions of the panel.cfg depending on your configuration. Make sure you are using the widescreen version of the panel.cfg.

 

To check open: <FSX>/SimObjects/Airplanes/PMDG737-800NGX/panel/panel.cfg

 

If it says 4:3 Screen at the top you are using the wrong one. Just copy the panel_wide.cfg to panel.cfg.

(panel.cfg) That was the one I could not remember until I was back at my Sim PC -- John was faster :-)

Good to hear your display is ok now.

 

Happy Landings
