evitome: I cannot get wing commander 2 to run full screen, WC1 ran in full screen automatically with no issues regardless of which graphic options I selected but I cannot get 2 stretched to full screen with any options provided in the graphic mode setup. Does anyone have any ideas?
Ideally I wanted to use the 2xsai like I did with 1 and have it full screen as well.
Try setting the Graphic Mode to OpenGL (or DDraw or Direct3D) on the Basic Settings tab.
Check the properties for your display in you're graphics card control panel if fullscreen scaling is activated. It could have been turned off with the installation of a new driver version.
Also update your drivers, just in case.
If that doesn't work, check the dosboxWC2.conf file in the game's installation folder (\Wing Commander 1 and 2\WC2)
Open it with any text editor an set the following variables:
fullscreen=true
fullresolution=desktop
output=opengl
aspect=false
scaler=normal2x
If it works, you can select another scaler (e.g. 2xsai). If it still doesn't work try setting a fixed fullresolution. Usually it's best to use your monitor's native resolution (e.g. fullresolution=1680x1050).
The resolution must be high enough to display 640x400 (= 2x Wing Commander's original resolution).
