With analog VGA cables there are no problems
Digital DVI cables (prefered for TFT users) also works.
The way the dll set the resolution has only problems with HDMI.

BUT...the majority of monitors automatically use all its full area rescaling any minor resolution (in this case 1360x768) for it's own max resolution. If so, no need to changes things on the GC driver.

With nVidia drivers above 191.xx the dll throws "Cannot initialize 3D engine" with Windows7 if using auto scaling by monitors and the TFT is connected via a DVI cable.

A suggestion for further versions: The new space available in the tools bar between dialog box and the speed/depth/course dials could be used to put the shortcuts that are currently in the slide out left side, or alternatively the fuel/battery/CO2 indicators

Yes, this is also my thought.

Will this work on a 30" panel?

My native resolution is 2560x1600 (16:10).

I haven't tried this mod. SHIII fits my 23" widescreen monitor just fine. I've had no problems at all without it.

Nice work, Gentleman...

richardphat · 08-24-12, 06:04 PM

Does anyone know if running fraps will work with this widescreen mode?
I am planning to buy a wide screen Emachine and since I do alot of footage, I just want to make sure of my shot.

I do recall however, back in the days when we had to play with the .cfg or text file manually, fraps become crazy and not working, where this mod didn't yet exist.

Hi richardphat,

the version of FRAPS i have (V 3.2.3) only works with "normal" screen, i.e. 1024x768. Widescreen causes CTD. Perhaps an actual version of FRAPS will run in widescreen too.

Greetings

Sadly, this good-lookin' mod ruins 'Integrated Orders' option in GWX3 Gold.

Hello all

This is my first post and this makes me the noobiest of the noobs I guess

Please bear with me.

Samsung R522
Intel Core Duo P7350 2 GHZ
4 GB RAM
ATI HD 4650
Highest Screen resolution: 1366 X 768
Rerfresh rate: 60 Hertz

Silent Hunter 1.4b and downloaded from gamersgate.

Anywho,
I downloaded WideScreen_complete_GWX&StockSH3

I understand that I will go with "widescreen _sh314b" but realized that readme files do not contain any info regarding what goes where, so to speak.

I got these

d3d9.dll
d3d9.ini

and a folder named "data" which includes 3 subfolders named "Cfg", "Library" and "Menu" respectively. Where do all these go? Do I just transfer those 3 subfolders to main game folder? If I do that do I replace the folders already there or back-up the original folders or what?

Moreover, I got this tool called "JSGME2_6" which I have some idea what it does but not very sure.

Could you please help me figure this out
