How best to accommodate the 6085 display resolution of 1152x861 on an 8" 1024x768 display for my small scale replica? Scaling down looks lousy (also up to 1280x1024).

I’m most interested in the XDE, so my plan is to clip to 1024x768 and set my user.cm to arrange my windows within the visible space. I added code so pressing a hotkey brings up scrollbars, tools, & status.

I can also run the engine which lets me set the screen size to anything.

The extra pixels of the 6085 are clipped off the right and bottom. They are accessible via scrolling.The XDE in fullscreen on a 1024x768 display with the toolbar, status line, and scrollbars displayed. Even more of the screen is clipped in this mode.All of the virtual 6085 screen is available using the scrollbars.
