Best for me is to d/l Shturmovik Stab version 6.3 lets you input custom resolutions
as the game is created 4:3 you do realize if you fit it to a widescreen (1920x1200) you will 1)have proper height with black bars to the side 2) have full width with some unseen screen top and bottom 3) have it all fit but be distorted by stretching it to maintain vertical but stretch horizontal to fit
set maintain aspect ratio to 0 in the config.ini

Yeap - IL-2 Stab 6.3 has a drop down with that resolution. However, when you open IL-2Setup, it will reset it back to 1027x768 16bit. Enjoy. If you go into video driver config - you can resize your desktop. Thus, you loose nothing - especially with TrackIR.

By default, the game(s) will only list 4:3 aspect ratio resolutions; these only available when the engine was designed and built. You need to edit the config.ini to set widescreen resolutions or use a utility such as IL-2 Shturmovik Stab or IL-2 Manager. Note: Every time you run the game IL-2 Setup module, the resolutions will be reset to 4:3 aspect. This is one reason why the utilities are better; you do not need to run the game IL-2 Setup again. You only need to run the game setup module after the game and patches are initially installed. i.e. 1. Install game 2. Install patches 3. Run IL-2 Setup 4. Run game and create a player. Set sound and video options. Make sure PERFECT mode is selected and then exit 5. Install IL-2 Shturmovik Stab or IL-2 Manager (do not confuse with IL-2 MAT Manager) 6. Enjoy IL-2 Shturmovik Stab is good as common widescreen resolutions are provided. It will also automatically detect if your game installed is patched sufficiently to support the widescreen resolutions; not an issue for 1946 but some of the earlier series needed to be patched to a certain level to use them and the original game did not support at all. If you have one that is not listed, you can simply add it to the list! Simple. Besides, it keeps fixing Dart's attempt at configuration!?! What more proof do you need...

OK, I have IL2FB all the way up to Pacific Fighters (I don't have 1946). I have been running it with Windows 7 64-bit and Samsung 40" 1920x1080p TV. It ran 1064x768, but full screen. Now I switched TV to Sony Bravia 46" 1920x1080p. And now it won't run full screen. The max resolution I can set there is 1280x960. It does do that, but it won't go wide screen. I tried using setting suggested in this thread, and it would not even start. Do you, guys, have any ideas? Thanks, Eric. I use a Vizio 55" HD LED, but they all work the same. Are you using a DVI-HDMI connection? If you do, this may help. Open Nvidia control panel settings - "Display" in the Resolution section set Refresh Rate to 60Hz, and PC settings to 1920x1080. Then go to Adjust Desktop size and Position and check "use my display built-in scaling". If you are not using a DVI-HDMI cable with a PC, you will not get 1920x1880 with the newer HDTVs.

So sorry for the delay! I have been into FSX lately. Anyway, IL-2 is not widescreen ready, you have to trick it. I use this setting in the cong.ini:
[window] width=1920 height=1080 ColourBits=32 DepthBits=24 StencilBits=8 ChangeScreenRes=1 FullScreen=1 DrawIfNotFocused=0 EnableResize=0 EnableClose=1 SaveAspect=0 Use3Renders=0
This is a hack that actually streaches the screen, so you don't gain anything, actually, you loose a tad on the edges but not much to worry about. I use IL-2 Stab by matttm. Note: when you open IL-2 steup, you loose this setting and have to add it again. IL-2 Stab makes it easy to add.

make the setup config read only after you have it all set the way you want it, that way if you accidently open it nothing will change.
