Hi! I have a 16:9 widescreen. I need a solution to get the right aspect ratio. works fine running in 1360x768. I tried Camera Hack V3 it lets you adjust it but there don�t seem to be any presets for 16:9 monitors. Kind of a hazzle trying to guess when you have the right aspect ratio and adjust fov each time

Yiiiha.. Got my Samsung m86 40inch LCD TV yesterday. Works great with PC.. Perfect and HUUGE screen to play games on. Haven't tried it with RBR yet, but I will very soon I think you could simply enter the screen width you want in the RichardBurnsrally.ini file. Full HD screen res XRes = 1920 YRes = 1080 But perhaps you're thinking of something else? _________________ Rack'em Up ********** My Projects GPL 2004 Demo. https://bhms.racesimcentral.net/download/6447 RBR Audio v2.3 https://bhms.racesimcentral.net/download/8479 Norwegian Pacenotes for RBR. https://bhms.racesimcentral.net/download/7516

i just zoomed out so i could see the steering wheel, then held a cup up to the screen and adjusted the ratios until the steering wheel was actually a circle. not the most scientific method...but it works for me.

I understand the meaning of aspect ratio now I used the camhack tool and it works but I'd be more happy if I could just save it as default without the need to load Camhack every time. Anyone else having sound problems? I can't watch a replay without loosing much of the sound in game when I have Camhack On. _________________ Rack'em Up ********** My Projects GPL 2004 Demo. https://bhms.racesimcentral.net/download/6447 RBR Audio v2.3 https://bhms.racesimcentral.net/download/8479 Norwegian Pacenotes for RBR. https://bhms.racesimcentral.net/download/7516

since sound is 3d it depends on camera position, probably "force in car sound" is what you want, see the options menu

Thanks for the tip Black f I've tried forcing in car sound on off Hmm probably needs to force it On.. Exit the game and then start Cam tool. If that doesn't work i'll try to change the cam posistion before I exit to menu and select replay. It used to work Ok so its something i've changed Thanks _________________ Rack'em Up ********** My Projects GPL 2004 Demo. https://bhms.racesimcentral.net/download/6447 RBR Audio v2.3 https://bhms.racesimcentral.net/download/8479 Norwegian Pacenotes for RBR. https://bhms.racesimcentral.net/download/7516

back to topic, i'v got 1280x800 monitor so i want RBR to run it but the problem occours, no text at all. And AR is totally wrong, so is there any solution without using camhack tool?There must be some ini or cfg file wich is being used by camhack, so if we managed to configure that fuile manually and save it it should be working isn't it?Frank i am looking your way.Is there some file? _________________ "Jump maybe" Timo Rautiainen, Rally Finland 2005 Michael Park 1966-2005 Richard Burns 1971-2005 Both are big lost.

aspect ratio is simple, 1600x1200 = 1600/1200 = 1.333333333 the camhack ini is called config.ini the line you want to change is 1280x800: FOVX= 1280/800 = 1.6 OR FOVY= 800/1280 = .625 whichever one you change, leave the other as 1 as for the missing text, These are the text files, C:\Program Files\SCi Games\Richard Burns Rally\Generic 1080p uses the pc1280 files - 720p [1280x720] won't, perhaps the game is looking at the y value and thinks its too small for those files? dunno.

"There must be some ini or cfg file wich is being used by camhack" ah woops - you meant some default file from rbr .. havn't found that or any hint of it .. think camhack is a bit deeper down in what its playing with .. directx output perhaps? something between the game and the screen =) thats all i can guess...
