Running MSTS on a 1600x900 pixels screen

Post by brick60000 »

Hello,

I recently recevied a new packard bell monitor that runs using 1600x900 pixels. I wondered if it is possible to run MSTS like this or make it so it at least does not look streched. I would appreciate any help with this situation.

http://forums.uktrainsim.com/viewtopic. ... 8&t=112050 may be of some assistance depending on your graphics card.

The other option is to use the "-vm:w" switch to run it in a Window (as I do on my 1920*1080 display that only has analogue connections)

Thank you for your help. Also how do I change the size of the mini window?

Thanks

I just do it within the sim itself - on the display options I have it set to 1280*1024 - you would need 1024*768 I would guess. Not sure if the menus themselves can be resized though.
