@Eugene

Good to see you too bro.

Only one of the files is needed, it all depends on the resolution you use. Each of the files gives you a different aspect, so give each of them a try and see which one of them works best for you.

Slikk,

What do your installation files do? Do they modify F18.exe, or replace it with a modified version?

1: The installation files simply install the F18.exe into your root folder.

2: The F18.exe that it installs dose not alter anything in the game except the aspect ratio. Other than that, the game play and every other aspect of the original F18.exe file is exactly the same.

Ok, so it replaces the file.

I'm quite concerned about the part that I bolded. Did you base your modifications on the TSHv3.06 executable, or on the original F18.exe? That makes a big difference, and this thread needs to make clear what exactly is going on. I beleive from past discussions that this mod is actually based on the TSHv3.06 executable, which really means that TSHv3.06 is effectively required to use this.

@Joe

The wide view modifications are based on the TSHv3.06 executable, I fly on-line through HL with my squad, VMFA-323 Death Rattlers, and I also go on flights with some of the VFA-41 Black Aces. Both of these squads use TSHv3.06, and the wide view mod works when I fly off-line or on-line with no conflicts what so ever.

Thanks for the clarification, Slikk. I know I didn't have as much luck with these in the past as other users did, but I'm going to have another go and take a harder look.

Slikk,

Whats the difference between the 3 executables? I just ran the first one and it seems to work fine.

Thanks again!

The three executables provide 3 different field-of-view values (i.e. three different degrees of wider views).
