N4 in 16:9/Widescreen?

Has anyone had any success running n4 in 16:9 mode? I have tried to force a 16:9 resolution, but it defaults to 4:3. It would be cool to get the extra peripheral vision, but alas, I cannot. Any suggestions or hacks? Thanks! Jeff

By the way..I am talking about nascar 4 for the pc. After no one answered, I thought that "this looks like an x-box question." I have a 16:9 monitor. Quake3 has widescreen support and N4 would be perfect for 16:9. Again...anyone tried it? I try to force a 16:9 rez in the ini file but it resets to a 4:3 mode. Anyone? Bueller?

sorry, N4 is hard coded for 4:3. Out of curiousity, what size/type is your 16:9 monitor? Jeff Leonard wrote:

My 19" monitor is 4:3. My 16:9 monitor is my Mitsubishi 55" HDTV. It has VGA input via a VGA-BNC breakout cable. Fun for gaming in small doses...gotta watch out for burn-in :) Jeff

I have the same TV. Can't you only play that in 640x480. -David "Jeff Leonard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a1vi6d$d9c$[email hidden]...

Or, it might, but I don't want to overdrive it. Too chicken to find out. I was hoping to get a 1920 X 1080 setting to work, but again, 1080p might overdrive the set. I usually just screw around at the 480p 16X9 res. (848? something like that...I'm at work now). Besides, I get grief if I tie up the CPU and the TV. Off-topic question: What HD-tuner do you have? I've got a DTC-100. Gotta love HD. Pissed about Superbowl in 480p widescreen. CBS 1080 football is just jawdropping. Thanks for your reply! Jeff

The good thing is that I have a DVD player that supports progressive scan 480p. -David

David, The VGA-BNC breakout cable will feed whatever resolution your CPU card will put out...it's just that the mits only accepts 480i, 480p, 540p and 1080i. OT: you can find a DTC 100 for $350-400. If your local stations are doing HD...you owe it to yourself to get one.
