tama, I installed FSX last weekend and was able to get the 5040x1050 resolution to work, but when changing views like cockpit to chase view the screen backed out for about 5 seconds each time, so that of course is not good.

I spoke to Matrox, I asked them about FSX and IL2, they say their gaming dept. is looking into it and that they do communicate with the game companies of whom TH2G supports and to keep an eye out for a patch either from them (matrox) or the game publisher.

So, eventually I think FSX will be patched\fixed. But I would say it does not look good for IL2 unless matrox comes up with the fix. I doubt UBISOFT\1CMADDOX will look into it.

The problem is with Direct X, graphic card drivers and the games themselves.

Is over my head, matrox and or 1C would be our only hope.

Give matrox a call, let them know that there is one more person out there wanting it to work with IL2!

Hi Tama, have been out of pocket, had an uninvited guest show up (hurricane IKE) Just now getting back on my feet!

I have digital TH2G and 3-16:10 ratio monitors. The FOV is correct in IL2 when changing the SAVEASPECT to "=1" but the side monitors are not in unison with the center monitor, it is to funky for me! Especially when turning your head using TrackIR, the horizon dips down (or up) not lining up properly.

As far as the 4:3 aspect monitors, I have no idea, I'd want to hear from someone who has them. I did not purchase the 4:3's because I was building for the future. Am still waiting for SOW.

As far as the new TH2G resolutions, no luck yet getting them in IL2, still hoping.

I have been able to get 5040x1050 using TH2G digital and the SGU utility.
Iam running XP SP3 and it seems to work good. Iam also using 175.?? drivers on my 8800GTX video card.
Iam starting to wonder about Vista operating system?
The FOV stills seems a bit "in your face" but it is very playable and with the TrackIR it is truly an awsome eperience.
Dont know if this will help anyone or not, but just thought id let you guys know what I got.

Excellent news garcol, and I concur. IL2 appears to be holding the 5040X1050 resolution in game when using windows XP 32bit and does not when running Windows Vista 64bit. This is progress!

Now, about that FOV again

I spend hours adjusting and trying different operating systems, drivers and settings trying to get IL2 FOV corrected. But I do not take notes or document everything I have tried. The other day I actually had the correct FOV working in IL2 by playing with the Matrox SGU software and changing the Saveaspect and use3renders in the IL2 cong. file. The correct FOV was in fact working but the side monitors were not in unison with the center monitor, the horizon or land masses did not stay level with one another. Especially when turning your head using TrackIR, the horizon dipped down (or up) not lining up properly.

Even though it did not work 100% correcly, it was encouraging that it worked at all. But now, I can no longer get even that to work, I must have done something besides just the config adjustments

Oleg, please help oh silent one!
