Does FSX get proffit from a widescreen monitor? ou the image is streached to fit the area?In VR tou can se more of the cocpit in this kind of monitor?Thanks for you advice

There is a fsx.cfg entry for ws; WideViewAspect=True, False is default.It seems to make the view area longer (left to right).There is no profit fps-wise... maybe some deficit I have not compared it to my CRT because my DELL 24" WS is far superior in qualty...I prefer quality to high fps...within flyable margins of course.allen

The following assumes that you're using the virtual cockpit - I don't know how the 2D panel view behaves:If FSX works like FS9 when it comes to widescreens, I believe you actually see less with a 16:10 (or 16:9) widescreen monitor than with a regular 4:3 monitor - by default, that is.I seem to remember that instead of matching the height of a 4:3 screen with a 16:10 screen and "adding" to the sides, FS9 kept the width of the 4:3 display and cut stuff OUT from the top and bottom to make the image 16:10.So while you see this in 4:3:http://www.puonti.net/stuff/fsx_wide1.htmlYou expect to get this when you move to 16:10:http://www.puonti.net/stuff/fsx_wide2.htmlBut instead you get this (the area between the white lines):http://www.puonti.net/stuff/fsx_wide3.htmlWhich means that you have to zoom out to see as much (and more) as you did with a 4:3:http://www.puonti.net/stuff/fsx_wide4.htmlWhich, of course, makes everything smaller and harder to read. So if for example you own a 20" 4:3 screen at the moment, buying a 20" widescreen monitor would be a bad move. Instead, you'd want to buy something that has the same physical height as your current monitor (a 21" TFT's image, for example, is about 30.5 centimeters tall) - which means a 23" or 24" WS monitor (23" is slightly shorter, 24" is slightly taller).At the same time you'll want to keep your vertical screen resolution the same, which on a 21" 1600x1200 TFT means a 16:10 widescreen resolution of 1920x1200.In short: if either the vertical resolution or the physical height of the image area on your new widescreen monitor is less than it was on your 4:3 monitor, you're losing out by moving to widescreen. How much you lose depends on what you're moving away from. The larger the 4:3 screen you're ditching is, the less impact a slight shrinking of gauges and labels will have.I hope this helps!
