To alleviate the "Cannot initialize 3D engine" error message, try changing the resolution in d3d9.ini from 1360x768 to 1366x768. If your GPU doesn't support 1360, it may support 1366. And the 0.4% compression won't be apparent. I am using an NVidia 540M and it works for my rig.

I have not found any widescreen mod which will work at 1920x1080. The masks are all much too small, and the 2D pages do not stretch. (Explanation here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...26&postcount=6) WS MaGUI won't do it, Conus' WS won't do it, Seeadler and Rubini's won't. All have some pretty ugly problems with the 2D pages at 1920x1080. A pity, because the 3D pages are incredibly sharp at 1920x1080. But all of them work great at 1366x768.
