Awesome work. Now my crews are leaner and the ships including my boat have shrunk to its original looks

Hmm, I have my HIRES mod cfg set to 1440x900 and is working ok since the whole wide screen is displayed and the cursor disappears at the bottom and right, I enabled your mod Rubini & file goes in it's correct spot but no change, 3D view is still stretched, rotating antenna is still oval shaped.

A file compare shows that your Cameras.dat is the correct one. This is strange, I will try a different setting, 1680x1050, might try at 1024x768?

Edit: Ok I tried the above even removed the HIRES mod but no change, everything is stretched, what am I doing wrong?
Also I am running ATI Tray Tools, not running the CCC, don't know if this should effect it!

I can definitely say that the HIRES mod works in all modes ok, Rubini's mod goes in ok to the proper place, I even tested now with GWX 2.1 Scene & Env files, but still no go, what else could cause the new Cameras.dat file not to work!!!!

Edit: I tried with a stock version of GWX 2.1 & even deleted the C:\Documents and Settings\Reece\My Documents\Sh3 folder but still no go!! Have set forced AA etc to Application controlled the removed ATI Tray Tools, rebooted, test fails, just tried with Stock 1.4b, failed!!

This is the only thing that happens, I even took your setting Rubini & changed my Cameras.dat and both do the same:
Without WS Mod:

With WS Mod:

It is like it just zooms in closer, makes things larger, panning around all views are larger, seems like the aspect ratio is changing within the game, the image size is the same for both (1440x900), does the same for all resolutions.

Ok, so for the 1.6 aspect the top and the bottom of the picture will be cut out. I've seen the same in IL-2, but with TrackIR it's not much of annoyance there.
