I couldn’t get it to work at my screens’ native resolutions (1440×900, 1600×900, 1440×900), the trick was to select a resolution in game that is 1 ]]> http://dog.beckament.net/2011/05/23/wings-of-prey-and-apache-air-assault-with-softth.html/feed 0 http://dog.beckament.net/2011/05/23/il-2-sturmovik-1946-and-softth.html http://dog.beckament.net/2011/05/23/il-2-sturmovik-1946-and-softth.html#comments Tue, 24 May 2011 02:54:36 +0000 Chris http://dog.beckament.net/?p=997 I think I lost some hair getting this to work, and it took a while… but I finally got IL-2: 1946 to work nicely with my SoftTH triplehead setup.
