Default Screen stretched horizontally.

Quite all at once, when I attempted to fly, the screen was stretched out horizontally, so that the gauges, for example were oval.
I have a fairly high end system (MB ASUS P4ELGA 775 Intel v 38ATX, Inter Core 2 Quad 4 9650 SATA 500 GB etc).so I usually put graphics settings to the right, without loss in frame rates and a good picture.
I'd appreciate suggestions.
Bob

Hi Bob

My guess would be that you are using a widescreen monitor and (16:9 or 16:10) and you are seeing 2D panels which were designed for a non-widescreen resolution. 2D panels must be specifically designed for widescreen resolution if you want to avoid the stretching.

You can also try setting the following entry in your fsx.cfg file (display section):
WideViewAspect=True

But this will not help with stretched 2D panels I am afraid.

I am probably wrong but years ago when I was on FS5 this used to happen to me and I had to change to screen resolution within FS to get it back to normal.
Not much of an answer but sometimes we are desperate and who knows !!
