16:9 Widescreen Support?

Quick question, is there a way to play TS in wide resolution? Me and a few at the GPOR forum are wondering this.

Tried changing the resolution manually in sliders.ini but it does not work.

If it's not possible, it would be a great feature for 1.0.9 if that ever comes.

Yes, indeed. I would like to know if and how, too. Dad insisted on buying a widescreen 19' Samsung LCD :/ There's stuff on the internet that discuss the same thing, only for different games. Maybe there still is a solution..

I got a widescreen laptop and TS works in there. I don't get what's wrong for you. Here's a screenshot.

Edit:
some more info->

Code: Select all

ScreenXSize 640
ScreenYSize 480

17'' widescreen.

I have 22" LCD and I use in sliders.ini following values:

Code: Select all

ScreenXSize 1440
ScreenYSize 900

And it works fine in Full Screen and Windowed mode.

Nah, still does not work for me.

FullScreen 1
DoubleBuffer 0
ScreenXSize 1440
ScreenYSize 900
PreferredScale 1.000000
FitInScreen 0
AdjustCameraBySpeed 0
EnlargeToFitInScreen 1
MenuEffects 1
ShowTireMarks 3
AlphaBlending 1
Lightmapping 1
ShowSmoke 1
ShowShadows 1
HudMode 3

Still stretches the image (it's not true 16:9 but stretched 4:3).

17'' widescreen.

Is it just me, or those figures aren't wide screen?

xzeal, he probably meant that he's playing in windowed mode. I for one tried Hengari's solution and while the loading splash screen with the car and 'Turbo Sliders' written on it appear as a 4:3 on 16:9 (the height is the same as the monitor normal resolution and the edges are black, so the width is not fully stretched). In the selection menu it was okay already, it was 16:9 in its glory and when I tried playing in servers, everything looked perfect widescreen, too. Thus, basically, the editing on sliders.ini did the trick here for me.

Mouse might be right there.

I tested 1440x900 and 1024x768 resolutions in windowed mode and took some screenshots. The images didn't seem to be stretched but you never know.
