Hi
A lurker surfaces...
Was looking forward to trying STR as I remember ST being... underwhelming.
Now, I've played through most FS stuff several times, but every few months I find myself coming back and playing it all again (with the latest improvements that you guys [yes all the SCP team!] make
). This time I found myself upgrading from FSport 3.0.4 to 3.1.1. Deleted all the old stuff and redownloaded. The game launches and plays fine, but I don't like the HUD.
Like in these screenshots:
FSport screenshot and
FS2 SCP screenshot.
Not sure if this is how FSport vs. FS2 is supposed to be, honestly, I can't remember. I figured FSport's HUD would be quite similar to FS2 as it is running in the FS2 SCP engine. Is this normal? The targeting reticule is huge and ugly, lol. If it is indeed a retail feature, is there any way to use the "FS2 SCP-style" HUD in FSport?
I am running in 1680x1050.
SCP build "fs2_open_3_6_10r-20090322_r5114" (latest nightly) + 3.6.10 mediavps.
EDIT: I feel like an idiot. I see now that a HUD change was one of the features of the 3.1 FSport release, to make it close to the classic. I still wonder if it's possible to change the HUD to the FS2 one though? Thanks.
EDIT2: Solved! Thanks Goober.
