Display larger than screen

Try this

ChangeScreenRes=0

And probably not needed, but...

EnableResize=1

G'day RPS69

Sadly neither switch made a difference.

I've tried the trial and error approach of switching on and off of all of the available switches (including your suggestion) in a multitude of different combinations hoping to fix the issue by accident, but all to no avail, however just to be on the safe side I did try your suggestion above again as well as all the possible combinations of same, yet this also ended with a nil result.

I read again your first post, and it is trully curious.

The only other bullet I have on my gun is change nVidia drivers t oa newer/older version.

Sometimes there is an issue with games in particular on the drivers set in combination with the chipset, but it is a blind shot.

Still, I used to avoid some of nVidia updates, particularly with il2 itself.

BTW, if you have the oportunity, try it on a machine with the same video controller.

You also give blame on the patch, but you later tried it from the DVD, was it good on 4.07? Even if it will not support the wide screen.

.......curious, your telling me, I've never had this much trouble getting IL2 to work before.

In regards to 4.07, exactly the same problem as with the patched sim'.

I've tried both the original driver supplied with the note book and and two others including the latest one from Nvidia.

Oops got to get off to work will finish my reply later

........@work, and I've got a few minutes before I start.............

There are two other notebooks in the household, these belong to my Wife (Toshiba) and my Daughter (Samsung) and although both are similar in basic spec' (just not as beefy) they are also both Windows 7 machines, but I'll give it a go and see what happens.

My biggest point of confusion is the fact that both FSX and SW Battlefront II worked from the get go, so it has to be something that is particular to IL2 that is causing this issue.

Ages ago, there was an issue with one of nVidia drivers, that ended on a new corrected release from nVidia. It was still on ubizoo era. Only IL2 was affected.

Don't even remember what it was, but it happened.

Do you tried it in directx instead of openGL?

The big deal between il2 and those two games you mentioned, it is just the use of openGL

No the problem exists exactly the same on Open GL and DirectX, and windowed or full screen is just as unplayable.

I guess I could try and grab the driver from my desktop and see what happens, but it's probably not compatible with the one on my notebook, not to mention that been fortunate in that I never needed to roll back an Nvidia driver so not even sure how to so, guess I'll just have to suck it and see.

cheers

Thanks dutch but I think you may have confused my problem with a google chrome issue.

As it turns out, I only just now figured out how to get it to work, I went to the compatibility setting page and checked the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" option and tah dah it worked.



So now I have to work out how to force the function lock to stay active and prevrnt the F1 key taking me to windows help and the F2 key changing the screen brightness.

But at least with the resolution problem sorted I can now consider investing in a 2nd CH joystick for the notebook and maybe another set of rudders so i can have a portable sim' machine.

I fought an issue with IL2 1946 v4.12.2m for a long time before I discovered this tip. The game launched fine but the yellow cursor would disappear as soon as I moved the mouse which would then not allow any radio button to be selected. Checking the checkbox in the *.exe Properties menu Compatability tab solved the problem.
