hello pilots,

My monitor suports 100Hz. How to adjust the fps?

There is a section about native screen resolution in the hooks.ini file in your XWA game directory. Set it from 0 to 1.

Below that you can define the exact resolution values for width and height. By default these are set to 0, but you can change them to your liking.

I‘m not sure in which files you can change your fpv but while in flight you can change it by hitting CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+Left or Right Arrow key. (Left to decrease, right to increase FoV)

thanks for fast response!
that worked, combined with changing the resolution via xwahacker. but only "inflight"...

any chance to change the rooms menu's a bit kinda wider, like 16:9 or even 21:9?

Sadly this is not possible. Our resident tech geniuses tried a lot of things but it appears that the concourse is next to impossible to change :(

You can change the concourse to stretch to fill the screen by changing Aspect Ratio options in Babu Friks Configurator.

It will stretch it so it won't look totally natural

Well, stretching a 4:3 image into a 21:9 aspect ratio will look a lot less than totally natural...
