Hi CapnScurvy,

I think I never mentioned this before, but I'm playing in with a 1600x900 resolution but in your OTC says that the 16:9 patch only works for the 1920:1080, is that correct? If so, what could be the best resolution I could use then?

A 1600x900 screen resolution is still a 16:9 Aspect Ratio. You'll be correct in using one of the 16 to 9 Aspect Ratio optional mods for the scope.

The difference in screen resolution isn't the key to having a correct screen size that accurately displays the games outside scope "camera", with the games Telemeter Division scope overlay.......it's the Aspect Ratio the screen uses. The difference in Aspect Ratio makes all the difference. Since both a 1920x1080, and a 1600x900 resolution have a 16:9 Aspect Ratio......you're good using the additional optical 16 to 9 Aspect Ratio mod for either.

That's what I thought. Thanks!

One more thing. I don't know if this is normal but with the 16:9 patch, I do not have a full view of the bearing degrees. On the realistic scopes, I can barely see the divisions on the attack pers. whereas on the obs, I can only see the numbers (divisions are hidden upper in the screen). If I use the non realistic 16:9, I can see the bearing degrees (barely) in both scopes, but nothing like the screenshot you uploaded some posts above, will that be normal?

I just want to make sure my telemeter mast heights won't be messed up.

Yes that's normal, and no the Telemeter Divisions won't be messed up, it will read accurately.
