I was able to get the game to run as high as 1920x1440, but higher resoultions sadly wouldn't show up. If you have a 1080p monitor, that resolution would be 1440x1080. I'd recommend playing it in the original aspect ratio instead. As the readme explains, you can force it to play in widescreen, but it can cause some unsightly rendering issues, as some parts of the screen aren't drawn properly. Keep in mind that Rogue Squadron is a 4:3 game. Now set the resolution you'd like to enable. Click "Find it for me" and it should find your Rogue Squadron install. Unzip it and follow the readme, or just keep reading, and I'll go through the steps. First step: download this custom fix with UniWS, a program that helps set custom resolutions in older games. Thankfully, nice posters on the GOG forums have already figured out the easiest way to spiff up the game. It's pretty easy to run Rogue Squadron high-res, but there are a few steps involved. Just run the installer and move on to the next step: getting it working in high resolution. Installing it is as easy as usual for GOG. Until now, the game has never been available as a digital download. You can grab Rogue Squadron from GOG for $6. But getting it running at higher resolutions, and with proper controls, takes a bit of fiddling. Now, thanks to GOG, it's easy to play again on modern Windows. Rogue Squadron also pulled a bit from the Star Wars Expanded Universe fiction, which excited me to no-end when I first played it. And the snowspeeder's AT-AT-tripping cable.well, that part was more maddening than fun. Interesting, layered missions with an addictive medal system that encouraged repetition (and eventually demanded perfection). Ships that felt different and had their own advantages in combat. Factor 5 simply got everything right: cinematic camera angles in the cutscenes that evoked the original films. While TIE Fighter was blazing a trail for space sims on the PC, Rogue Squadron was perfecting arcadey dogfighting combat on PC and the Nintendo 64, where I played it for years.
