Hi Paul,
Blimey, don't see you round here much but it's nice to see you back :-)
<<You won't on a conventional CRT. It's not the resolution that affects the shape of the dials but the actual ratio of the screen's height to width. If that's 3:4 your dials will stay round regardless of the resolution you choose.>>
What I've found happens is that if I pick a non 4:3 resolution (1360*768 for example) some of the gauges remain round (such as the ASI) but others like the EHSI are severely distorted. I'm speaking here about the 767PIC panel. This is probably down to the way they have been designed.
The difference between 1280*1024 and 1280*960 is pretty small anyway so it was never going to be that obvious but I'm convinced, having flown for a few hours now, that the small text is slightly more readable than it was before at 1280*1024.
It's an interesting point you make about TFT formats and one reason not to run in full-screen mode. BTW, don't you auto-hide the taskbar when running FS? I always switch that option on and it gives me a useful increase in screen area. With 'Hide Menu Bar' also enabled I only have the main Windows ttile bar visible. Hardly worth the hassle of switching to FS view.
