Concourse Aspect Ratio

I've installed the Craft Pack 1.6 and selected the option to not set the widescreen resolution and use the game default. However, the concourse is now stretched to fill my 16:9 1920x1080 screen resolution. Is there a way to set it back to the original unstretched 4x3 ratio?

Hello,
In your XWA directory, there is a file named "DDraw.cfg". Open it with a text editor (like Notepad) and set "PreserveAspectRatio = 1".
; PreserveAspectRatio = 0 (no) or 1 (yes)
; When set to 0, the display will be stretched.
; When set to 1, the aspect ratio will be preserved.
PreserveAspectRatio = 1

Ok that's great, thanks. Is this a global setting that will change everything to 4:3? Or can I set the resolution to 1920x1080 (say with xwahacker) and have the missions in 16:9 and the concourse in 4:3?
But thanks again for the quick response and all the work you guys do!

In this case, the missions will be in 19:9 and the concourse in 4:3.
There is also a setting in the "TgSmush.cfg" file (PreserveAspectRatio) that is used when a video is played.

After downloading the newest ddraw file it made my concourse go to 4:3. I was able to fix mine also, so thank you too!
