Aces High Opening Picture
« on: November 07, 2010, 05:53:49 PM »

 Fellas how do you fancy that if Aces High where to hold a 6 monthly compition to have the best ScreenShot as a background picture upon start up of the game. ???

I mean i have seen some brilliant screenshots posted but Hitech and co have never used them for a background on Aces start up. I ask Why. As its our flying and playing of the game that gives them the ability to run the game so why not have a 6 monthly competition where the opening background picture is one of our ScrfeenShot's ?????


Just a Thought whats your take on this ?????  :salute

I'm still pissed that one of the patches replaced my custom background. Turns out I didn't have a backup of it. Had been using it since AH1; Barbiefires, My Little P-51s, and Richard Simmons LGay-7s. It was glorious.

In any case, seeing as you can make your own choice of background, holding a "competition" seems superfluous.

Good timing.  This is actually something we've talked about before.  We want to rotate out the background screenshot on the title screen whenever we release a new version.  We also are in dire need of screenshots  for the webpage right now so look for an announcement and details on how to submit screenshots soon.

No need to look any further for our 1st winner.

Would it be simple to change the location of the background image into one of the .res files? That way custom backgrounds wouldn't be overridden by patching, like the sounds.
