    Widescreen

    Does Il-2 support a 16x9 resolution mode?

    I've played around with the settings a bit but haven't been ably to find such a resolution option. So the images all end up stretched. (inless I switch to windowed mode)

    I edited the file in the manner listed here: Here are the settings for 16:9 monitors - Sim-Outhouse Forums but it doesn't seem to have affected anything.

    Make it read only (properties tick check box for read only). This prevents the game from changing the file back again.

    I did it and the AR is still off. I never had a problem with the file getting rewritten or reset anyway.

    What should the in-game "video mode" settings be? (currently I'm on 1024x768 full screen)

    Not sure but it should work. Try Googling "widescreen il2"

    The WS resolutions that work best with IL2 are:

    1920x1080
    1680x1050
    1600x900 and
    1280x720

    In your conf file (C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946) llok here:

    [window]
    width=1920
    height=1200

    ColourBits=32
    DepthBits=24
    StencilBits=8
    ChangeScreenRes=1
    FullScreen=1
    DrawIfNotFocused=0
    EnableResize=0
    EnableClose=1
    SaveAspect=0
    Use3Renders=0

    Set the H & W resolutions to whatever you want.. I have a 24" WS and I found the above settings worked best for me.

    Good stuff, Gnomey, I finally can run Il2 on max res now, 1280x1024 instead of 1280x720

    Still not working for me. =(

    I made sure the file saved, and wrote it as Bearcat said (at 1600x900) but the game still plays the same. (at whatever in-game video-mode is selected)

    I usually play in 1024x768 windowed currently so it looks alright. Thin ingame selection for "full screen" gives several options for screen res, but all are 4x3 AR...

    Are you going back into the in game video mode screen after making changes to the conf.ini?

    If you do it will overwrite those changes you made, got me a couple of times.

    Yes, but the full screen at modified res doesn't work in the first place. It should be full screen as soon as the game starts up, right?

    In any case, (after going back into the video modes screen) when I open the conf.ini file it hasn't been overwritten but is the same as I left it.

    If your config file is set as read only it wont change.. check it... (R click.. properties aTTRIBUTES... LOOK FOR READ ONLY..IF IT IS CHECKED UNCHECK IT..)

    I've tried the various solutions and the best you can do is get a 4:3 'actual' picture on your 16:9 monitor, so it isn't a true fullscreen picture, the rest of the picture (Sides) being black.

    I'd be satisfied at that. (as of now I've been using it windowed)

    How do you configure it to be cropped?
