Title: Is the flight deck supposed to be this low-res?
Post by: VicRattlehead on April 27, 2010, 05:13:53 am: FS2's flight deck looks a lot sharper than this. I have FSOpen 3.6.10, and I have all but the MediaVP files and the DVD Hi-Res textures installed.

Post by: Jeff Vader on April 27, 2010, 05:25:05 am: Yeah, FS1 didn't boast 1024x768 resolution graphics, unlike FS2. And it's probably a huge pain to try and reconstruct the interface into a higher resolution version.

Post by: Bob-san on April 27, 2010, 07:07:05 am: That's what 640x480 looks like stretched out to 1920x1080. :P Eventually (years out), the front-ends may be reconstructed. FS2'll probably have priority, if it ever happens.

...Why is this?

Post by: mjn.mixael on April 27, 2010, 12:18:01 pm: I'm not sure why the GoG version would be less grainy...

In any case, it's on my to do list... Once I finish up the immense number of projects I have picked up, I plan on rebuilding the main hall. (Actually, I don't think I ever mentioned that to Galemp).

Theoretically, it should be easy at that point because I'll have Terran models rigged and ready to go.

Probably because when you play FS1 you're playing with 640x480 upscaled to 1920x1080, while FSPort has it scaled from 640x480 to 1024x768 and then scaled AGAIN to 1920x1080.

Because that is presumably the resolution the OP is playing at, based on the resolution of the screenshot in the first post.

Post by: Galemp on April 28, 2010, 12:26:32 pm: Yeah, we scaled it to 1024x768, and the engine re-scales it to whatever their screen resolution is.
