Soddin widescreen probs

[pjfurry]

Hi all,

Be gentle on a newbie.

Came back to Q3A after many years, last time was on a PC with large monitor.

But now using laptop with widecreen, i know this has been asked many times.

Just wanna know how to resolve without messing things up.

Pls help a newbie.

Thanks

oi, that one worked for me

thx

- tho, looks somehow "bottled" now instead of w-i-i-i-d-e !?

Change the FOV untill you find what you like,

i used to play FOV 110 on my 4:3 monitor's, so on my 16:10's i need to play at 135/140 fov to get the same feeling..

lol changing seta cg_fov to 135 is like quake on speed with frogeyes. More speed is nice but the froggish view is not my thing.
Just checked with 120 which seems fine for my 22".

thx
