Resolution question...

Hey guys, I have SH3 installed with GWX 3. My monitor is 1920x1200. I have it running it widescreen using the 1.4b hi-res fix, but the aspect ratio is off. Gauges look a little bit oval.

Is there a way to run the game in 1600x1200 to correct the aspect ratio? I tried changing the main.cfg and d3d files, but nothing changes. Any thoughts?

Sorry this won't be the answer you're looking for, there are some fixes out there but they seem to have different issues. You have to do a search, however, I've decided to leave the games original aspect ratio alone. After installing GWX it looks fine to me. I have the same screen size as you so I get black bars on both sides of my screen. I've decided to live with this as everything then seems to be in the proper proportion and I have no issues. It's just my opinion.
I've played it both ways (also with the res fix thing) but as you say, everything is stretched and it just doesn't seem right to me.
