Help needed!

Postby gryshnak » Wed Nov 02, 2005 6:15 pm

Okay, I was playing around with my settings tonight to see how high I could set my screen resolution before it slowed things down too much.  I normally use 1064x768.  I soon discovered that despite my nice Radeon 9800 Pro card, my old monitor doesn't much like 1600x1200 - it turns the screen off!  I can alt-tab back to the desktop where everything still works (in 1064x768) but my FS2004 is stuck in 1600x1200.  I can't get in there any more to change the setting back because it turns the screen off as soon as it loads :(

I really don't want to uninstall and reinstall the whole sim just to reset my screen resolution!  There must be something in a cfg file somewhere that sets the default resolution, but I haven't a clue where to look.  Can anyone help?

Doh!  Okay, I found the cfg file and reset the resolution back to where it was before.  Next time I'll read the sticky first!
