The fixed standard resolution is actually 1024x768. While the d3d9.dll hack will allow widescreen resolutions, a 22" widescreen typically has a native resolution of 1680x1050. LCDs really are at their best in their native resolutions, just something to keep in mind. Also, even with the d3d9.dll hack applied and a 16:10 aspect ratio resolution set, you're still going to get a distorted result (oval periscope view, oval dials, short and wide crew members etc). Unfortunately even with great hardware scaling support, the image is stretched, period. This is why it's important for developers to build in true widescreen support into their products. You may find the distortion is something you're willing to deal with, others find it dissapointing. If you're using the hack to scale the image within it's native 1024x768 4:3 aspect ratio (ie: up to say 1152x864 or 1600x1200) on a 4:3 LCD, the results are much better than on a 16:10 widescreen LCD.
