Ok this looks a bit tentative, but it is said to work... I might play with it if I had a wide screen.

 

To get freelancer working in widescreen in this case 1680x1050 do the following.

 

1) Go to my documents > my games > freelancer and open prefoptions in notepad. At the bottom it will say [Display] and underneath size= change it to 1680, 1050 or what ever widescreen resolution you use. Not the space in between the 1680, 1050. Now save and exit.

 

2) Now go to c: > program files > microsoft games > freelancer > DATA . Once there open cameras in notepad

 

Delete whats there and paste the following.

 

[WinCamera]

fovx = 63.504809977813375

 

[CockpitCamera]

fovx = 90

znear = 2.000000

 

[ChaseCamera]

fovx = 90

 

[DeathCamera]

fovx = 90

 

Now save and exit.

 

3) Now go to c: > program files > microsoft games > freelancer > EXE . Once there open freelancer in notepad.

 

At about the 9th line down it says size change it to size = 1680,1050 ,or what ever resolution you are using.

Now save and exit.

 

4) Now go c: > program files > microsoft games > freelancer > FONTS .Once there open fonts in to notepad. Now delete all whats there and paste the following.

color = 59, 191, 29

 

[style]

name = STYLE_CONSOLE_SENDER

font = 2

bold = false

italic = false

underline = false

color = 0, 255, 0

 

 

Now save and exit.

 

Now you are all done any ready to play in 1680x1050 ( best for either 20 or 22" wide). Note the options will state the wrong resolution but it will be in 1680x1050.

 

Also NOTE , for this to work when u load in to game u must enter in to space once for it to work ie just lift off. Not sure why this is it just is.
