Please Fix the Corsair Cockpits!

[moneyguy]

i have two buttons mapped on my stick, one that moves your head up, the other to move down. then i hit my hat switch to make it how it was.

i use to fly the 1d because it was easy to see out the front of it and i know looking back on ur six was hard but with a little ajusting it wasnt bad
but now that the f4u1d is like a 109 i havent flown it ....ya so please fix them HiTech

Lucky you.  That's not what I see in my default setting.  1/2 the altimeter is chopped off, and I can't move backwards to fix it.

i have no problem seeing all the gauges and ammo counters
also i have decent veiws to the right and left rear.
not great but they are definatly workable.
as for not seeing the gauges try increasing your scrren size
mine is at 1280x1024. Makes a HUGE difference

Eh, I may try that later this week, but changing the screen resolution may present other problems.  I'm sure there was a reason why I've flown the last several years at the current settings.

IMO, this problem with the gauges is a flaw that needs to be fixed so that it works properly at all screen resolutions.  I hope HTC is willing to understand that.

I tried manually editing the resolution in the AH config file, and sure enough it works. This is awesome for seeing further ahead during a turning fight .... muhahahahah!

This resized screenshot was originally taken at 1200 x 1600:

Now that's an idea.  I'm gonna give it a shot.  To edit the config file you just open it with notpad or other WP software and type in the new numbers right?

Okay, now I'm going to be a smartass. The altimeter is, physically, the highest guage on the IP. It is not even remotely close to cut off.

Yep, that's what I did. You are supposed to be able to do it within the AH video setup section, but I couldn't get that to work for me at all. If I had the monitor turned sideways AH wouldn't start at all, and if I had it turned normally then 12x16 wasn't a selectable option, so manual editing is the only way to go.

The only catch is that the monitor has to already be turned sideways and ready to go before you fire up AH with the new settings, or it will hang. I also had some issues with closing AH, it didn't want to put the desktop back to the proper resolution.

Lastly, my frame rate seems a lot lower in this mode, I am wondering if my vid card supports hardware acceleration for this resolution.

lol.  I'm sorry.  I rushed through the post...I meant the speed indicator.

All fixed now, thanks HT!!
