Upon Further review, just because IL2 will pull up with the SGU set to 5040x1050 does not mean its actually working in Windows XP. I have a wider FOV using 3840X960 than 5040x1050 so I would say it is not working.
I went back to Windows Vista and did some more experimenting. I think I may be on to something. (maybe)
I found that by going to the Matrox power desk-SE edit mode list and selecting and setting certain ratio's and resolutions enables certain resolutions to work in the SGU software.
Here is what I tied....................
I selected and applied 1280x960 4.3 ratio setting.
Then I tried these (see below) resolutions in the SGU software for IL2-1946
3840x960 (This resolution worked)
4098x768 (This resolution would not work at all)
4320x900 (This resolution would not work at all)
5040x1050 (This resolution would not work at all)
I selected and applied 1280x1024 5.4 ratio setting
Then I tried these (see below) resolutions in the SGU software for IL2-1946
3840x960 (This resolution worked)
3840x1024 (This resolution worked)
4098x768 (This resolution would not work)
4320x900 (This resolution would not work)
5040x1050 (This resolution would not work)
I selected and applied 1280x800 16.10 ratio setting
Then I tried these (see below) resolutions in the SGU software for IL2-1946
3840x800 (This resolution worked)
3840x960 (This resolution would not work)
3840x1024 (This resolution would not work)
4320x900 (This resolution would not work)
5040x1050 (This resolution would not work)
What is interesting to me is that.............
My monitors are 16.10 ratio, but when I selected a 4.3 ratio setting my computer reboots and reconfigured using that ratio. I don't pretend to understand this but I was not aware that I could even use these settings until I tried them.
Looking at the examples above, I have to select and apply the horizontal resolution from the "edit mode list" that matches the horizontal resolution I want to use in the SGU list.
So, if thats true, doesn't it stands to reason that to get the 5040x1050 resolution in the SGU to work, I would need to be able to select a 1050 horizontal resolution in the "edit mode list" right? Problem is you don't have 5040x1050 to select from in the "edit mode list", I can go to the "change" button in the Matrox power desk-SE and change my desktop resolution to 5040x1050 but that does not mean it working in through the SGU and in the game\sim..
What do you think Oleg, is it a Matrox problem?
