I seem to recall there was a way to do it so the instrument panels were properly sized with black bands on both sides?

I followed this guide -- -- to get 1280 x 1024 running fullscreen on my 2560 x 1080 ultrawide LG monitor.

That video also includes reshade setup, but ignore that part. What you want is DXWND and set it up using the parameters he shows in the video (instead of the "Run in Window" checkbox, choose "Fullscreen only").
If you set Mode ID 3 in the DW .ini file, you should have full screen in 1280 x 1024 with black bars.

Well we're back to this game not working on Windows 11.
It loads, change graphics, goes back to main menu and nothing shows except the mini world map.


Or, load game, quick mission, only thing shown mini map again.


I just went back thru settings according to video above and this is what happeneng!




On a whim, I went back into my Nvidia settings and noticed Annistropic filtering was 2x.... set it back to app controlled.
Same with Antiallising, set back to app controlled.


Game working again.. so if anyone has same issues check your settings//

I did some alternate (working for me) settings for dxwnd + DW in another thread. YMMV.
