Display Question for PR Beta Owners...

Wed Feb 05, 2003 2:25 pm by †

Greetings,

First off, thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you in advance for taking any time you might to answer it.

My question...

When the display resolution is changed in the game to higher resolutions does the HUD, HUD Icons, and all text, get smaller and smaller...as it does in so many games.
Or, does it adjust the size of the HUD, HUD Icons, and text within it, to still be of adequate size even at the highest resolutions?

I love playing games at very high resolutions, but most of them make the text so small that my old feeble eyes just can't read it unless I am almost touching my monitor with my face.

Thanks again for your time and patience.

May the stars guide ye,

Pyrate Dredd

I use the opportunity and add another question to the Beta Owners :

Is there a real cockpit view or just the HUD? And are the ships to handle like in "Starlancer"?

At this time there is only a HUD display...no struts or true cockpit.

But, we all pretty much believe that struts/cockpits will be put back into the final release as an option.

Hope this answered at least part of it for you.

Fly well,

Maybe these will also help you understand the controls a bit as well:

The HUD changes its size so it fits well with the resolution you are using. I believe Tach is running FL at a high res and he hasnt said anything bad about the size of the fonts on the HUD.

Yeah - I tried a lot of different resolutions - from the officially unsupported 800*600 to 1280*960.

800x600 is "officially unsupported?"

Is there an official list of officially supported resolutions somewhere?

Thanks,

Same question I had, Milod. Surely, 800x600 is supported...

Yah, what the heck, Gibby? 800x600 is one of the resolutions available in the options.

Yeah, 640x480 is "unofficially" supported but I haxed it to record that video with Fraps

You mean you opened up the INI file and changed 2 values.

I think Gibby meant 640-480, my copy has 800-600 available too.
