I found a rather easy and nice way to play IL-2 widescreen on my notebook, but I don't know if it is possible for everyone or if Im saying something that everybody already knows, but anyway...
I have a Geforce graphic card, so I just go to the NVIDIA control panel (by right clicking on the desktop), select "adjust desktop size and position" and, under the "scaling mode", select "full screen"... and when I start IL-2, voilá! Nice and smooth widescreen withou changing anything on the config.ini...
Thanks again TD for all your hard work and your concern in delivering us a bug-free patch, we have waited many months, we can wait a few more days or weeks!
