I run at that resolution but the game will only go to something like 2036x1500. Is there some way to enable 2560x1600?

Yes, of course. I fly at that resolution, and here you have what I use in conf.ini:

[window]
width=2560
height=1600
ColourBits=32
DepthBits=24
StencilBits=8
ChangeScreenRes=1
FullScreen=1
DrawIfNotFocused=0
EnableResize=0
EnableClose=1
SaveAspect=0
Use3Renders=0

If you are using a mod version of game, there are other ways to get a true widescreen aspect without cropping edges: FOV mods (I like the Sanka's one).

Regards.

Have you tried to edit these parameters on the ini file? Or used Il-2 config? Try that and then don't change the resolution in game.

Thanks but when I try to save my config.ini I get an "Access denied" message and I don't see an "open as administrator" option when I right-click on the conf.ini

Check if conf.ini file is in "read only mode". Change its properties.

Yes, I did install it in my program files folder.
Should I delete it and reinstall it elsewhere?

The file is not set to read only- I am just not granted the ability to save it, and I don't see any open or run as administrator options on the file

I suppose you are in W7 or Vista, isn't it?

With those OS you should not use Program Files folder to install games. Create a folder, for example "Games" to do it. Program Files is a secured folder. OS is going to limit your options there.

Simply type UAC into the search box on the start menu, you will get a link to change UAC settings, once there -drop the slider all the way to the bottom.Exit.reboot.
