[edit] Method
Seems that MS forgot to add the widescreen option to the menu's for Flight Sim X but left the option in the hidden FSX.cfg file Tut Tut very lazy....
Firstly you need to have show hidden files and folders set to on(you can change this back after the edit if you like)
Windows XP
- Click Start.
- Open My Computer.
- Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
- Select the View Tab.
- Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
- Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
- Click Yes to confirm.
- Click OK.
Now locate the file
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX\FSX.cfg (replace USERNAME is whatever your XP login is)
open FSX.cfg with a txt editor(i used wordpad) and under the [Display] section locate the line
WideViewAspect=False
Edit this line to read
WideViewAspect=True
Now save the file and fire up FSX and Enjoy +Hoz widescreen flight sim goodness.
