Guys, pls correct me if I'm wrong. The game does not naitively support resolution higher than 1024x768. It means that even when you use the hirez tweak your field of view doesn't change on wide aspect monitors. Doesn't matter if you set the resolution at 1024x768 or 1440x900 you won't get a wider FOV (field of view) on the widescreen monitor that support 1440 or 1900 (or etc) pxl width. I guess what this widesreen tweak does is it kinda "zooms in" to fill up the full width of the wide screen (say 1440) but cuts out top and bottom of the picture. So it is only good for those who really don't like the flattened GFX or, in case of this tweak, the black areas (on the left and right) when playing on a wide screen monitor. Yes, you'll get the full width on the monitor (but the FOV width of what you can see will be same as on a 1024x768 screen as already mentioned) in exchange for the truncated GFX in the top and bottom of the native (1024x768) picture. So for 1440x900 resolution you'll get 1024*1.40625 x 768/1.40625 FOV. Meaning your vertical FOV (546.13 instead of original 768) will be less than on the original picture (4:3). Do I get this right?

Thanks.
