Hi, I've installed the latest XWAUP 1.2 and I've got a question about the resolution setting. I'm running a 24" Monitor normaly on 1920x1080. The Resolution settings in the game seem to stretch the image. Best seems to me 1024*768 but I'm not certain. What can I do that the view seems not that streched?

The resolutions you select before installing are Screen Resolution for your TIE Fighters, so the objects in the Cockpit line up with the screen graphics.

You can change the aspect ratio for the concourse By opening the DDraw.cgc with a text editor such as Notepad

you will see

; PreserveAspectRatio = 0 (no) or 1 (yes)
; When set to 0, the display will be stretched.
; When set to 1, the aspect ratio will be preserved.
PreserveAspectRatio = 0

Just change it back to 1

As for the screen resolution in-game you will have to use XWA Hacker to change the resolution
