Widescreen Gaming Forum

Yes, I seen that... and tried it... though I only adjusted the first line.

No change and still the higher resolutions are not seen by the program.

Should I use the FOV for the incockpit only? Seems to me the problem is in the config.ini first.

Thanks

This FOV setting will only modify the position, tilt and height of the incar cockpit camera. It will replace the section LocalCam=COCKPIT in a Default.cfg file. This will not give you any higher resolutions.

I don't know why the 3DConfig program will not show any higher resolutions for you. I can only suggest you to re-install the game, your video drivers or Matrox TripleHead2Go software. :(

Thanks MatroxRulez,

I figured that, I manipulate the FOV in GTR2 quite a bit....!

I checked the Nvidia site yesterday for newer drivers and the latest are from Dec. 2007 from what i could see.... which are what I'm running.

I've reinstalled the game so many times I know the key number by memory.... LOL

It's really got me stumped, cause I'm not that computer ignorant... :)

Also, I did finally get GPL to work, however I'm still getting the standard "windows encountered a problem and will close the program sorry for the inconvenience" whatever.... though the game will load right after and using the OpenGL Rast DLL for wide screen I was able to run the 3840X960 widescreen resolution.

After all that, I realized that the 1967 mod for rFactor is so much better and the tracks are so much better that it' wasn't worth the effort except to have the Big Daddy game running....!

More than likely, I would feel the same way with F1.... though I really wanted it to run in widescreen. I will try again once I find new video card drivers.

Thanks guys for all the help, I think I have the right files, but there is something screwed up with my system, but I'm not sure what.

BTW... my system specs:

Asus Striker Motherboard
Intel E6850
Dual Nvidia GTX 8800 O'clocked Ultra's
4GB O'clocked Ram

You're welcome. I hope you get your .dll problems solved.

In the mean time, just try different mods for rFactor. Some of them are very good and you'll get the proper FOV in rFactor. In F1C 99-02 it'll always be far from perfect.

Yeah, your right! I've been playing rFactor and GTR2 for the past two years. I have all the great mods.... from the 1955 F1, Indy Cars, All the tin tops, ALMS/LMS series cars and many others. However, VituralR are converting the Prototype C mod from F1 99-02 to the rFactor now.

Anyway, I got the game running in the 1680X1050 which in F1 is fine.... cause a rarely play it... just want it... :)

Cya and I'll look you up if I figure out the problems.
