• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

i always wondered if i see it on the monitor
is it the monitor or vid card that saves the image?

It's the vid card, but at least we can see that you've got a luxurious wide-screen LCD! Congrats, Henry. I know when I got my first 16:9 22" monitor, I was tickled. Makes a big difference in the flying, doesn't it?
 
It's the video card itself.

I must say Henry, when I first opened this post I fully expected it to be about a tall blonde woman.
 
Congrats H!

Man.. I would swear those crops below in the fields are in 3D.. Are they bump mapped! Looks photo real....

Very nice Henry
Dont forget to edit the line WideViewAspect=False in your FSX.cfg to read WideViewAspect=True
Click to expand...

that is an important note and allows you to see more of the image to the left and right that otherwise would be cut off - but you might notice some 'fishbowl' effect if you zoom back too far...

that looks like Orbx terrain - those folks are the masters - I am blown away by the freeware Tasmania that I have...I'll need more horsepower before I buy the rest of their beautiful product, as it tends to bog my mediocre rig down in dense autogen regions - but in my oppinion they make FSX look like it should... day or night, dawn or dusk
 
Loved it when I got my Dell S2209W 16:9, 22" 1080DPI monitor. man it was great, but I had to get another card for me to be able to do anything gaming wise. :p congrats man, widescreens are the best
