| Microsoft Train Simulator & Flight Simulator 2004 I have recently bought a new PC running Windows Vista Home Premium. I have loaded the above programs for my son and when they a running the screen is not centred and the is a black bar to the right of the screen approx 3 cm wide. I have tried to run the games in compatibility mode and as adminstrator as recommended with other games but with no success. Any suggestions would be appreciated as at the momnent I have a disappointed son unable to play his favourite games. -- JCR |

using the DVI connection instead of VGA and then you wouldn't get this issue at all. As the other person said though, there is an auto adjust button on all LCD monitors to solve this issue when using an analog connction. Press that and it will center the image and remember the setting for that resolution. | ||||||||||||

You have an LCD monitor, I'm guessing. LCDs only display at one resolution, so like if your monitor is a Widescreen monitor and the game is running at 4:3 ratio then you'll get black bars on the left and right, or it can depend on the video card/driver in your computer. The nVidia drivers for example have a setting where if your computer is displaying at a lower resolution than what your LCD supports it can either, zoom the image to make it fill the screen ignoring the aspect ratio of the original image. This will fill the screen, but will result in your image appearing "stretched" a bit, or it'll zoom the image as much as possible without stretching the image resulting in black bars. I'm reading my advice and it's a bit confusing to even me. Check the in-game options for each game and see if there's an option to change the resolution, or if there's a Widescreen option. Play around with these settings until the game fills the screen. What Scotty said applies if you're using an Analog connection to your monitor (cable running from the computer to the monitor will have Blue connectors). When your monitor changes resolutions the monitor might note frame up the image correctly. When your monitor is displaying the game, push the "Auto" or "Auto Adjust" button on your monitor, that might fix it. If your computer is connected via a digital cable (White connectors) this shouldn't be an issue, in which case try my suggestions. You can also right-click your desktop, choose Personalize and "Desktop Settings", and finally Advanced, see if there are settings for your monitor to stretch the image when zooming in. If nothing here helps, respond here, include the make and model of your system and monitor. -- -A. | ||||||||||||

I almost bought a copy the other day, but bought another game instead. I was wondering how close it was to driving trains it is to MSTS? Would I have to spend time setting up trains, etc., like one has/had to do with Trainz? Is their the ability to import MSTS routes? I am glad to see that it was developed by KUJU. | ||||||||||||

similar to the one in Trainz which is good if you want to design your own rail lines. I doubt you can import MSTS stuff into it though. If you like MSTS you will like this one even more. The environment is more alive now too. | ||||||||||||
