FS2004, VC and widescreen

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

Hi,

Quick question, does FS2004 support widescreen resolutions in the virtual
cockpit, or does it just stretch a 4:3 view onto the widescreen.

Thanks,
Graham

Thanks for the info. I'm tempted by those 20" widescreen Dell LCDs.
