Make sure you manually select the gxm.ing driver so it displays Matrox TH2Go in the properties as this guide.... http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/9215

I tried with the 175.19 driver without success.

Then I removed the "Preview DirectX 10" checkbox, restarted FSX and then .... 5040x1050x32 is there. I selected that resolution, put back the checkbox, restarted the game ... 3840x1024x32 is the highest.

So maybe it has something to do with the DX10 in FSX ...

That was it. I now have 5040x1050x32 ... somehow I lost my 2-D panel in FSX though.

EDIT: I rolled the driver back and after many reboots I got my 2-D panel back. I still think FSX is acting funny after this incompatible driver was loaded though. I would stay away from this driver... wait for Matrox to post a newer one on their site.

inteljoc, sorry for sounding dunce, but what or where is the "preview directX 10" checkbox? Is that within the FSX software, or something in windowsnvidia dispay settings?

I have FSX but it is not installed on my puter right now, I will probably be installing it this weekend! I am more interested in IL2 working with the 5040x1050 resolution. I have been thinking that what ever reason FSX does not work with it, IL2 is probably not working for the same reason.

In FSX settings since you have SP2 or Acceleration Pack.



PS: I took the pic from Google images, not from my screen.

ah ha, is within the game. Thank you!

Don't forget that you still need a DX10 video card and Windows Vista in addition to FSX SP2 ...

ok, installed FSX delux along with SP2 and the acceleration pack, I have directX10 and am running 2-GTX 8800 SLI with a 3ghz core duo cpu.

I got 5040x1050 to work thanks to all the information from this post! This is a step in the right direction for matrox.

But it is not very smooth, when I change views the monitors go black for 5 to 20 seconds (seems like minutes).

I'll take IL2 at 3840x800 over FSX at 5040x1050 though! Forget that IL2 is a combat simulation, even if you want to fly for a nice pleasant pleasure flight, the graphics are sooooo much better on my system with IL2 and everything just seems to run soooo much smoother, smooth as silk!

Dude why do I keep hearing about IL2 all of a sudden? Aint it an older game?
