In The graphics.cfg file find this section..............

DisplayMode
{
resolution = {1680, 1050};
bpp = 32;
fullscreen = 1;
aspect = 1.333333373;
Interface
{
resolution = {1680, 1050};
bpp = 32;
fullscreen = 1;
aspect = 1.333333373;
}
Simulation
{
resolution = {1680, 1050};
bpp = 32;
fullscreen = 1;
aspect = 1.6;


As you can see the aspect is set to 1.6 for the simulation part. this is what you need to do.

Note that any time you enter the options in game, Lomac will reset this value to 1.33333, you must manualy change this value again, to 1.6 and restart Lomac

If you have set the correct resolution for your monitor, the aspect ratio will never cut off the information bar.

Check the resolution required by your monitor
