How to configure Screen resolution on Flight Gear

Postby felipeparantes » Sat Nov 19, 2016 8:10 pm

I may be the Stupidiest and blindest person in the world, but I can't find where I can configure the screen resolution for my game. I have a FullHd screen and by default window open so small, I'd like to set up a higher screen resolution. Can someone help me? I have Flight Gear 2016.1.1.

Thank You.

--geometry=1600x800 or whatever is the command line if I recall correctly.

tell the sim to use fullscreen with

--enable-fullscreen

if you want a geometry that is different than your monitor's default, then you can change it with the --geometry option as noted above...

"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
