October 21, 20169 yr I've changed my computer to a 21.5 inch Apple iMac and operate FSX in Bootcamp under Windows 10. It’s a powerful beast : iMac : Retina 4K Processor : 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5 Memory : 8 GB MHz DDR3 Graphics : Intel Iris Pro Graphocs 6200 1536 MB THE PROBLEM The 777 Flight Deck appears as if it needs stretching out from each side and the middle of the panel looks slightly "fat". I’ve tried many of the resolutions including 1792 X 1344, 1920 X 1440, 2048 X 1152……..but none fixed the problem. Advice would be most welcome. Cliff Cliff Harris

Cliff Isn't the resolution of the retina 21.5" 4096×2304. Why aren't you setting that? You could also try a less demanding 2304×1296 or 2560×1440. gb. YSSY.

October 21, 20169 yr Isn't the resolution of the retina 21.5" 4096×2304. Why aren't you setting that? gb. You're right but this machine really isn't as powerful as OP believes. Running FSX at that resolution won't be a good experience I imagine with that iGPU. 4790K @4.9GHz, 32GB DDR3, 1080Ti, W10-64bit
October 21, 20169 yr have you set WideViewAspect=True in your display in your fsx.cfg I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg
October 21, 20169 yr Author have you set WideViewAspect=True in your display in your fsx.cfg Strange.....I can't see fsx.cfg at all. Only... airlines.cfg Elumens.cfg scenery.cfg terrain.cfg Do you think it's because I'm using the STEAM edition of FSX? Cliff Harris
October 21, 20169 yr Commercial Member Do you think it's because I'm using the STEAM edition of FSX? Nope. Just looking in the wrong spot. Open up Windows Explorer and type %appdata% in the address bar at the top. Hit enter. Browse to your FSX-SE folder and it'll be in there. Kyle Rodgers
October 21, 20169 yr A You're right but this machine really isn't as powerful as OP believes. Running FSX at that resolution won't be a good experience I imagine with that iGPU. Agree, you are going to have trouble pushing 4K but does the screen look correct when run at 4K? As per my edit above you could also try a less demanding 2304×1296 or 2560×1440. Anything that maintains the screen's native aspect ratio should look right. The first two resolutions you list in your first post have the wrong aspect ratio ie 1.33. The third is correct ie 1.77 so don't know why that does not work. gb YSSY.
