Hi,I just installed FSX Gold Edition and upon first flight I see its not filling my screen in full screen mode. (I have a widescreen monitor) I researched it and learned that this was a common problem and that apparently Microsoft forgot about widescreen support during development but that it could be fixed by altering the .cfg file. Long story short I was unable to save the file after altering it. Then I go into the game setting and change the resolution from the original 1024x768x32 to 1280x768x32 and now it fills the screen. Im just trying to better understand why this was such a common problem that required altering the .cfg file and I apparently fixed it by changing the resolution. Was this a previous problem that was fixed with an update? Am I just stretching the screen and now getting a distorted view? I appreciate any help. Sorry, Im not very computer savy. I just want to make sure Im not distorting the beautiful scenery in this sim.Tommy
