Widescreen Fixes Pack is a set of plugins by ThirteenAG that corrects a number of display and scaling issues when using widescreen resolutions. The pack includes fixes for, among others, GTA 1, GTA 2, GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas. It especially corrects the annoying crosshair misalignment for GTA III and Vice City. Other notable tweaks for some games include field-of-view control and text shadow replaced with outline. The mod is bundled with the Ultimate ASI Loader.

Settings

Option	Values	Description
ResX	-1 0 *	Overrides the game's horizontal resolution.
ResY	-1 0 *	Overrides the game's vertical resolution.
ForceAspectRatio	auto *:*	Overrides the game's aspect ratio. Common ratios include 4:3, 5:4, 16:10, and 16:9. This option excludes anything covered by FrontendAspectRatio.
FrontendAspectRatio	auto *:*	Scales frontend textures, e.g. menu background and loading screens textures. Original textures from Rockstar look best with 4:3 ratio but can result in pillarboxing if ratio does not match resolution's ratio.
HudWidthScale	0.0 *	Scales horizontally all HUD elements (e.g. text messages, health, weapon icon, etc.) except the radar. Rockstar's original scaling is the same as 1.0.
HudHeightScale	0.0 *	Scales vertically all HUD elements except the radar. Rockstar's original scaling is the same as 1.0714285.
RadarWidthScale	0.0 *	Scales the radar horizontally. This option is ignored if IVRadarScaling is set to 1. Rockstar's original scaling is the same as 1.0.
SubtitlesScale	0.0 *	Scales the subtitle text size. Rockstar's original scaling is the same as 1.0.
FixVehicleLights	0 1	Decreases the size of car headlights glare.
RestoreCutsceneFOV	0 1	Uses original FOV in cutscenes.
CarSpeedDependantFOV	0.0 *	Increases the FOV at high speeds. The lower the value, the higher FOV will be.

FOVControl	0 1
HideAABug	0 1 2	A value of 1 draws a 1px border at the top and left sides of the screen to hide bug from ForceMultisamplingLevel. A value of 2 draws additional lines to make the screen symmetrical.
SmartCutsceneBorders	0 1	Cutscene borders are adjusted depending on the current resolution. This option can be toggled in the in-game menu under Options > Display > Borders.
IVRadarScaling	0 1	Uses the same radar scaling and positioning as GTA IV. It ignores the RadarWidthScale option.
