1280 1024 monitor issues
My friend bought a new monitor and gave me his old 1280 1024 monitor. When I run sim in windowed mode and make it full screen on the monitor I loose about a inch on the screen on each side. What I mean by that is when you open mx sim there's all that space between the left side and the screen to the buttons, when I open sim I only see half the buttons because I loose all the space. Is there anything I can do so I don't loose all that screen space? Thanks

Are you sure your desktop is sized correctly for the monitor?

Yea it's sized correctly, and in game I select full screen 1280 1024. It's almost like it's zoomed in.

Preferably a picture we can see or?
Re: 1280 1024 monitor issues
Maybe I can assist here as I think with my 21:9 monitor it has a similar effect. It seems zoomed in because the game scales itself horizontally, correct? Therefore anything other than a 16:9 aspect ratio the FOV isn't displayed correctly.

Could be the DPI aware setting. Right click on mx.exe and then click Properties. On the Compatibility tab, select Disable Display Scaling On High DPI Settings, and then click OK.

Re: 1280 1024 monitor issues
Ok here's the screen shots
As you can see I'm in the menu screen on my 1280x800 screen which looks normal
Same menu but I just dragged mx sim to my 1280 1024 screen. It looks zoomed in
In game with 1280x800
In game with 1280x1024. The pit broad and speed thing (forgot the word) are very large.

That's working normally. The fov setting doesn't directly set the horizontal fov. What it actually does is set the fov so that the largest 4:3 aspect rectangle that would fit in the screen has the fov you selected. I did it that way so extra tall or wide aspect ratios wouldn't restrict your view.
