Default fs9 on 15' display

I hope someone knows a workaround for this one:

I have a new notebook with a 15.4'' monitor and Intel Pentium 1.73 + ATI
X700 (128MB) + 1024GB Ram and it runs FS9 + Level-D 767 + Active Weather
2004 + My Traffic very nicely!

But: in resolution 1280x800 or 1280x768 the display is "sqeezed" (I have
very flat and long/wide aircraft and cockpits, not as real as it gets). In
resolution 1024x768 the display hs the correct proportions (and two black
margins to the left an to the right, which don't bother me)

Any ideas are welcome!

Cheers and thanks,

Heiko

There is no workaround, as you are not using a proportional
resolution. To see things in correct proportion, you would have to
run at 1280x1024, anything less on the vertical side (i.e. 800 or 768)
is going to result in the "squeezed" display.

Are you changing the proportions from within the sim? This surely wd help?

I run at 1200x800 all the time.
Set your screen to 1200x800 before starting the sim.
Start FS and go to OptionsSettingsDisplayHardware
You should see your video card listed.
Under Display Resolutions click on 1200x800x16 or 1200x800x32

see if this is the correct proportion.
