PGR3 stretched in 1280*1024?

Everything looks squashed when using this resolution. Is there any way to prevent this?

People use a different resolution, only choice I believe unfortunately.

Yep

Change the resolution! seriously, this is the only way to do it.

When I used to run thru a 19" 4'3 CRT monitor, I used to use that res, then changed it to 1366/768.

Its pretty much the best you can do, you can increase the verticle size if you want, to get rid of a little bit of the borders, so you get a happy medium. I now have a phillips 20" widescreen and run in 1366x768, and all games look perfect..

I'm afraid I'm on a 1280*1024 LCD screen. Will this ever be patched.

Maybe, maybe not. Probably the latter knowing our luck. It's because it's a non-standard ratio I guess. But wether or not it gets fixed will be down to MS/Bizzare pulling their fingers out.

So how come the VGA doesnt do the 4:3 but you can select it with the normal cables for ya standard TV? I use 4:3 on that

Because at 1280x1024, the 360 is trying to do 16:9 on a 5:4 screen, usually with borders so making it 1280x720, but it messes up with PGR.
