also the client should verify that you are not using a 16:9 or 16:10 resolution as this provides more horizontal viewing area than would have been available on a 4:3 monitor in 2001
No, it doesn't. I assumed the same thing you did until I learned otherwise. Only the vertical field of view changes; the horizontal field of view is fixed. See thread here: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=168542. Point being: On our present client, using a widescreen resolution actually decreases your overall field of view, in spite of what you can see appearing larger.
