.. I felt it'd be a good idea after my recent experiences to warn anyone wishing to bypass the software limited resolution capabilities of Freelancer that it's a dirty, DANGEROUS hack (depending on your method, atleast).
Anyone who's done this or feels they will do it sometime in the future should be warned. If you're not careful when editing cameras.ini, you can fry your videocard.
The line WinCamera is the point of interest, which is sometimes modded to adjust HUD positions accordingly to the new resolutions. You need to be careful when changing this line, because if you set it too high it will cause your videocard to jump to modes that it isn't designed for, resulting in permanent irreparable damage. I stumbled across this by accident, and fortunately I had a replacement card. I had two extra videocards that I didn't care about laying around and decided to experiment with them, and upon passing certain values (anything above 75, but one card died when set to only 70) to the line WinCamera from cameras.ini, all three of them died the moment I attempted to launch into space.
This first occured with a Nvidia 6800GT, and the issue was replicated with both a GeForce FX5200 aswell as a GeForce2 MX400. Be wary friends, as editing this file is a gamble depending upon your videocard.
