Even if I change resolution to e.g. 1600x900, it still looks like the game assumes a 4:3 aspect ratio :-(, anyone out there who know how to fix this? _ Mats Lofkvist [email hidden]
I do not think F1 2001/2 or GPL for that matter supports widescreen mode, so the cars all come out looking flattish, I have tried playing with the monitor display itself, but ended up losing too much real estate on the screen, which defeats the purpose of having a widescreen monitor in the first place... I have not tried Powerstrip yet, perhaps that can be used to come up with some custom resolution and horizontal timing to make it work. Just an idea. For the moment I am just running 1024x768x32 on my Unity Motion 32" monitor, the games are still quite enjoyable even with the wrong aspect ratio...
