Could someone lock this thread please?

I'm no admin, but I see no reason why this topic should be closed. Nobody's doing anything wrong.

It not relevent anymore, I've implemented low res in DX8.

[Solatar]

Yeah, but we can still have people alk about their hi-res problems. Its funny sometimes, people doing the most obvious things wrong.


So, will DX8 be implemented in the next source code release?

EDIT: Not that anybody so far has done anything stupid:D

If its finished when the next release happens, when ever that is, which is probably when DX8 is finsihed.

So when will DX8 be finsihed? Unknown.

Hmmm....

Either:

1. Your video card is a POS.
2. You haven't used the reghack that enable 512x512 textures.
3. Your monitor is a POS.

1024x768 looks fantastic on my GF3.  Hell, I could run it at 32-bit mode just fine on an old K6-2 350 with only a 16MB TNT1!

I was talkin'bout the interface and the HUD, not actual ingame action.

I have this old monitor that has been kicking around forever, and is still going strong, and only goes up to 800*600, and I like it, so

[RandomTiger]

Either way it doesnt matter because I've now added low res functionality, could someone please close this thread, its totally pointless now.

I got my trusty V3 specifically for FS2 and Descent 3. Don't feel like spending money I can't afford on upgrading it in order to play FS2. It can do 1024x768 now that I got the high res vp installed, but I'm not sure it could do it well and it doesn't look so good on a 15' monitor. (1024x768 is the optimum resolution for 17' monitors, 640x480 is for 14' monitors. As I understand the idea, the same text in 640x480 on a 14' should look the same size on a 17' monitor in 1024x678. The latter would have more overall space though.)

[RandomTiger]

I use a 14' monitor and wouldnt think of using anything less than 1024x768

[Vertigo1]

Ohh man, I think I would die if I had to revert back to a 14" monitor.  I lurb my CTX 17" monitor.
