Hi Everyone,
                I was wondering if it was possible somewhere to add a resoloution to the resoloutions list in fs. On some Graphics cards, its possible to add custom resoloutions, just by typing in the resoloution. Can such an action be accomplished in the sim?

Hi

You can try it and see if it works. In the FS9.cfg file look for this line:
Mode=1152x864x32
It is a little ways from the top under the Display section.

I do not know if it will work, but it is easy enough to change back if it doesn't.

Good luck

Doing this could make undesirable effects. Every video card has its own resolutions made at the time it was manufactured. Each card can only display certain resolutions and trying to get it to display a resolution it is not capable of could cause some adverse effects. 8-)

I know how, but that deppends on your graphic card:
If you have an ATI I can't help you.
If you have a NVIDIA chip and correct drivers installed, you can go to your screen settings (by rightclick on desktop), then go to the settings tab where your resolution selection slider is, now click on  Advanced, in the new window go to the tab called the name of your graphic crad (not the tab called "graphic card"!) and you'll see a  sidebar moving out of that window.  Go to the "screen resolutions & ... " part. There you can add user-defined screen resolutions. Add one, but note that this may damage your monitor. You should not use that resolution, just just the one you always had. As you now, you can set separate res. settings in FS. There you now have it in your list.
There should also be a way for ATI cards, but I warned you:
Do something wrong and your monitor (don't know if CRT and/or TFT) can get damaged!!!
