Friday 2011-02-04 Dev. update and Discussion

when Oleg is absent, there's still Luthier. Didn't he post updates earlier a couple of times. I don't see the problem. Like Oleg said, the vids we were told to be drowned by, are edited by Luthier anyway (translating, etc).

By the sounds of what's going on over in simhq you'd think this game was another CFS3 dead beat

7. Due to controversy and complaints from veterans' families and holocaust survivors, the German side has been renamed "OpFor" and all references to German politics of the time period have been removed.

8. Due to licensing issues, the "Supermarine Spitfire" has been renamed "Supernavy Shootsflame".

I think spotting aircraft at a realistic distance is a very important aspect of any combat flight sim. If you can select a resolution to play the sim in the GUI then it should be quite easy for the game engine to display an appropriate amount of pixels for that resolution. This way the playing field is relatively level for everyones systems and settings. Unfortunately airmen physically challenged will be assigned a desk job.

From reading the posts here i get the impression that it's not just the resolution, it's the dot pitch and that is a correlation of resolution used vs the monitor's size.

So, if they wanted to fix this issue they'd have to not only take the resolution into account (easily read from conf.ini) but also have some way of knowing the size of your monitor.

To be honest, i don't really know if they can do that last part easily or at all. Some monitors' model numbers might show up within windows and some not, or maybe it's a case of whether you bothered to install the relevant software and so on, so i don't know if it's possible for the sim to "sense" what kind of monitor size we are running.

The malcontents and cranks have finally gotten this thread into Trollville.

Guess it's time to lock and unsticky it.
