Monitor puzzle

[rjhowie]

I have been using a tft flat screen monitor (17") and thinking of moving to a bigger screen model. Mine is the previous more square style and they are all wide screen now. Doesn't that effect the look of trains and not give the trains a squashed look?

I'm using a 22" widescreen and Trainz looks very good on it, no squishines at all.

You might need to try different settings as some will result in a stretched picture, try a few and see which one suits.

Mine is set at 1580 x 1050 and it shows ok.

My laptop I play 2010 on has a 15" wide screen and the game looks beautiful.

You just have to adjust your resolution settings.

1366 x 768 is what I use as it is native for my screen.

Though, I have been tempted to buy a second larger LCD screen as my laptop has the extra VGA port.

Look fine on my 24" 1920x1200.

Thanks for replies.

Google your PC monitor model number, and see what its max Screen Resolution is. Mine is a 20" which is 1280 x 1024

Set your PC screen resolution to that size.

You can run Trainz windowed, by editing out -fullscreen and instead typing in -windowed into the Trainzoptions file. Then set Trainz Display Resolution to run the next size down from the PC screen resolution, in the Options page in Trainz. Which is 1280 x 960.

Now I can chat on Yahoo, look at topo maps and Google Earth Images, all the while laying track in Surveyor...by sliding the Trainz screen half way off to the side.

And thanks again for that.
