Is there a simple way to correct this? I would greatly appreciate any help.

Cheers
It is some time since I've had il-2 installed on my PC, but when I last used it although the config.ini tweaks would change the gameplay to full widescreen, the menus and load screen would remain at 4:3. This will be fixed in the upcoming 4.12. So if you are expecting to see the menu screens in widescreen you will not get it in any stock version including 4.11.

That said you should be able to get the main gameplay happening in widescreen. I think there was another setting needed in config.ini AS WELL AS changing width and height to get it to work. I can't remember which additional setting it was, so I've copied the relevant part of my old, saved config for you to check.

[window]
width=1680
height=1050
ColourBits=32
DepthBits=24
StencilBits=8
ChangeScreenRes=1
FullScreen=1

DrawIfNotFocused=0
EnableResize=0
EnableClose=1
SaveAspect=0
Use3Renders=0

Try making sure that the settings in red are the same in your conf.ini. Hopefully that will do it.
