Widescreen Gaming Forum

It's native. There is no entry in the SGU list because rFactor controls the resolution via a config.ini line VideoMode=XXX. The problem is, the number XXX is pulled from a list enumerated by your OS, and depending on the OS options, the same number can be two different resolutions on two different systems. This means the SGU can't be used to make the entry.

==Game Information==

rFactor is a racing sim from Image Space Incorporated. It aims for an extreme level of accuracy and flexibility. The simulation model includes details from aerodynamics down to how the temperature affects the tire physics, and is capable of modeling any kind of four-wheeled vehicle from any era. The engine is derived from F1 Challenge '99-'02, but the game does not feature any licensed vehicles, teams, or circuits.

Cranky's coverage estimate: 99%

I don't see how the HUD stretches. The speedometer still looks like a circle, and the text in the overlays doesn't look stretched to me. Am I just missing it?

That's odd. When I took the shots, I was certain that the speedometer became ovoid. But I don't see it not. Thanks for the catch, report corrected.
